Butter Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Steak

October 9, 2014 Posted in Bacon, Beef

I’ve always been a fan of a simple steak marinated with salt and pepper with a dollop of butter on top. The butter melts and the medium rare steak is perfectly barbecued. Then you add a slice of bacon around the outside of the steak. Oh my. Take from this what you wish. Everyone has their favorite way to enjoy their steak. This is just one of our favorite ways. We also love peppercorn sauce...

Smash Burger

September 9, 2014 Posted in BBQ & Grilling, Beef, Dinner

While we were taking a road trip cross country, we stumbled upon this burger joint in Colorado Springs, Colorado. As I watched my husband take a bite and saw his eyes roll into the back of his head, I just knew he was a fan. This was back in 2012. There were no Smash Burgers in California that we were aware of. When we got home we did realize they had one in San Diego...

Texas Pot Roast

January 9, 2014 Posted in Beef, Crock Pot, Dinner, Paleo

Who doesn’t like slow cooking a pot roast for 10 hours and enjoying the roast just falling to pieces because of its tenderness? This pot roast is a perfect combination if you like beef and you like spicy. Put it on top of mashed potatoes or enjoy it like a roast beef dip on a nice french roll.

Italian Beef Sandwiches

July 5, 2013 Posted in Beef, Crock Pot, Dinner, Italian Food

I wanted something super easy that I could just throw in the crock pot and walk away. On this day I left the house at 8am and didn’t get home until 10pm so I wanted my Husband to be able to reach into the crock pot and eat whenever he was ready. When I got home that night, he raved about this beef and that he couldn’t stop eating it. It tasted the best the 1st day but still good as leftovers.
Makes 7-8 ...

Story: I remember these as a kid. My brother and I would devour these. I know my mom makes these for my dad using the brand Manwich back in Ohio. Because my husband is so picky I chose to make these last night after we spent a couple hours working on building our shed. I figured an ice cold beer followed by a beefy sandwich he wouldn’t resist...
