USDA Prime NY Strip Steaks with Worcestershire-Chive Butter
Every once in a while the stars and the moon align and we stumble upon USDA ‘Prime’ Beef at our wholesale club. Typically reserved for restaurants, Prime beef is a high quality ultra tender grade. And for me tender is where it’s at.

Slow Braised Beef & Barley Soup
Our Slow Braised Beef & Barley Soup began by slow roasting some short ribs that were taking up space in the freezer. Yes, I have once again vowed to stay out of the grocery store for at least a week. You could easily use leftover steak or roast beef or stew beef and achieve the same tender beefy goodness. The trick is to not be in a hurry. We brown our beef in a little oil before adding braising liquid to the soup pot, in this case we used beef broth. Throw in a bay leaf, thyme sprig, and fresh cracked pepper and let her go low and slow until the meat…

Meatloaf {Moist & Delicious & Simple}
Moist & Delicious Meatloaf. Simplify. This word hangs over my kitchen sink and is more often than not… ignored. I love the concept of ‘less is more’ I just struggle when it comes to cooking with this in mind. Having said that, this meatloaf recipe is the perfect example of combining just a few simple ingredients to create magic. Maybe this should be called Magic Meatloaf.

Friday Night Sliders {TGIF}
Friday Night Sliders. Because sometimes you just deserve a good burger!! When it comes to food I’m all about the package, the delivery if you will. So if there is a way to make a burger cute I’m all in. We have White Castle to thank for the slider revolution. And while their thin griddle-cooked patties have their place in history, they’re not my favorite. Don’t hate me.

Steak & Cheese Subs {with Onion, Mushrooms & Jalapeno}
Steak & Cheese Subs {with Onion, Mushrooms & Jalapeno} are the perfect week night meal. I held back from calling these Philly Cheesesteaks. I’ve never actually had an authentic Philly Cheesesteak but am sure they are worthy of more effort than it took to make these subs. These were super fast and so easy. I also held back from calling these Steak & Cheese Grinders, which is what I grew up loving. Wasn’t sure that the regional term ‘grinder’ would resonate with a wider audience :) For almost as far back as I can remember my friends and I would get on our bikes and ride into town to eat at the Pizza…

Isle of Palms Burger
Isle of Palms Burger inspired by Pawley’s Front Porch, Columbia, SC As we turned on the TV to watch Saturday afternoon college football, the analyst came on with his pregame show. Every week he visits a local restaurant in the town of the home team and shares his dining experiences. What an awesome job he has.

Swedish Meatballs
Swedish Meatballs. Growing up, we enjoyed them every Christmas Eve as part of our annual holiday h’ordeuvres spread. I’m slowly recreating these recipes one by one. Some from memory and some that mom passed down to me. Sunday I pulled out this recipe card and took a stroll down memory lane.

Brazilian Feijoada {Pork, Beef & Black Bean Stew}
Brazilian Feijoada {Pork, Beef & Black Bean Stew} The word Feijoada (pronounced fay-ZWAH-da) comes from the Portuguese word feijão which means “beans” and is the national dish of Brazil. This stew is made up of rich cuts of assorted pork and beef that are slow cooked with black beans, onions and garlic. It’s then served over rice with orange wedges which provide just the right flavor balance.
