the temp of the center of the steak should read 130f degrees ... use a thermometer insert it into the steak ... time depends on thickness and type of meat...

I have a killer steak recipe to!
1-2 Jalapenos (take out seeds and cut up)
Juice from 1 lime
1 tablespoon of sugar
¼ cup cilantro
1 tablespoon of olive oil
½ cup tequila
Mix all this up and put 2-4 steaks in (I like NY Cut or Filets) and let them marinate in the mixture for 4-6 hours.
Cook over very hot grill and brush on marinate while they are cooking and the sugar from the mix will caramelize on the steaks—it is awesome!
Serve with Margaritas!

keep in mind that the meat will continue to cook for a few minutes after you take it off of the heat... good luck...its a fine art to cook a great steak!!!

i think there is more than a weeks worth here

Thanks for the ideas!!!
here is one that i like to do often...
thaw 2 chicken breasts...cook on stove top covered until done (medium heat 15 min per side)
make 2 cups minute rice...while water is boiling put in 2 generous teaspoons of butter or margerine, salt pepper and alot of garlic powder
boil some Ramen Noodle - any chicken or oriental flavor will work, I usually us chicken mushroom flavor
DO NOT ADD THE FLAVOR PACKET...it will be used later
slice the chicken into small cubes...
in the skillet that the chicken came out of... put in the rice add 2 generous teaspoons of butter or margerine
push the rice to the sides so there is a a fairly good portion of the skillet showing...
over high heat crack 2 eggs break the yolks and let them start to harden...
start mixing the egg and the rice together
add some soy sauce...like 4 splashes
completely strain and add the ramen noodles mix together...
add the Ramen noodls flavor packet...
serve the chicken with a little sweet & sour on top of the rice and noodle mixture...

My grandmother's absolutely awesome soup recipe...

1 can mixed vegetables
1qt chopped tomatoes large
1 can corn
1tbs salt
.25 tsp pepper
Summer savory- pinch (important, you can get some at health food stores)
1 lb Stew Beef
3 beef bullion cubes
chop together in large bowl-
2 carrots, 1 large onion, 3 stalks celery including leaves, 5 medium potatoes, 1/4 head of cabbage (do not leave anything out... important)
Put beef in large pot and add enough water to cover it completely. Add bullion cubes, summer savory, salt and pepper.
Cook beef 30 min or until thoroughly cooked.
Take beef out, put in bowl and shred leaving broth in pot
Put canned tomatoes and mixed vegetables. in pot, do not drain.
Put beef and chopped vegetables in pot
Add water until mixture is just covered
Cook until done (about 45 minutes) should be consistant throughout forming a uniform flavor. You can't overcook this soup. The longer the better.
When done cooking, mix in 1 can of corn (drained)
yuuummm....

Made this last night had to share ; Chicken Enchiladas
1 whole shredded Cooked chicken – I use the season roasted from HEB
Package of Lawrey’s enchilada sauce mix
1 sm can tomato sauce
1 can of stewed tomatos/mex season is fine
tea cumin
1 tea garlic powder
1 red onion
2 cloves of garlic
a few large pieces of whole sliced green chilies
2 cups (or more) Mexican 3 cheese shredded
package of corn tortillas
sliced black olives, cilantro, for garnish
In a large cast iron skillet (or not) coat w/ oil. Saute half chopped onion and all garlic cloves til soft, add spices add can of stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce and package of enchilada sauce mix w/ whatever water it suggests and simmer on low a few minutes. if you need to add water add a little at a time.
Now the fun part – messy
In a 13 x 9 spread a few spoonfuls of sauce onto bottom of dish. Take a tortilla with tongs and dip into the warm sauce (quickly) flipping to coat both sides. (If you linger in the sauce the tortillas will break apart) line the bottom of the dish with sauce coated tortillas. Spread shredded chicken generously over the top of that. Spread cheeses evenly over that, (save some for the top). Sprinkle chopped onion, olives, and sliced chilies. With a laddel scoop sauce over the fillings generously, but save 1/4. Now coat enough tortillas to cover your dish, spread the remaining sauce over your tortillas and top with cheese, olives, onion, cilantro. And bake for about 45 min. Untill the cheese is melted, lightly brown and bubbly.
That is the casserole style, you can do the same thing with individually filling and rolling each tortilla. . .but what’s the difference when you cut and serve? 

I'm gonna have to read this again and actually print out some of these. Soemone should make this into a cookbook and sell on swf.
Heres one we used to use in college. This would feed a house of five guys and is just as good leftover. Very kid friendly as well - about an hour cooking time, but about 5 minutes of actual work.
1. boil some mostaciolli (sp?) - this is a penne type pasta - penne would probably work fine too
2. make a simple meat sauce (sauce, browned meat, red wine if you like)
3. mix the cooked pasta with the sauce in a shallow casserole dish and top with velveta cheese. (I slice it thick because I like it cheesy, but everyones got different diets etc...)
4. cover with foil and bake for a half hour or so
the pasta doesn't come out tasting "baked", the cheese and sauce make it nice and tender too. I like to think of it as a lazy man's lasagna
Now I'm thinking I might make it tomorrow. mmmm, velveeta

Went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo several times while they were here. In the shopping arena there was a booth selling BBQ stuff. They were grilling pigs and chicken and handing out samples with different sauces on them. I bought a bunch even for gifts they were so good.
Here is what I did : Par-boil several pounds of country style pork ribs w/ a quartered small onion. 1 1/2-2 hours. take em out and slather them with this stuff (Fat

[hr]
Gourmet Hawgwash glaze) best stuff in the world. Put the ribs in an air tight container overnight. The next day throw them on a grill and cook until almost done (they fall apart) and brush with the glaze again well.
These are so good, you have to try it if you're a BBQ lover.
