Today's dish, when served a couple weeks ago, was met with the this-is-so-good-I-can't-talk silence of Mr. Berry. A good sign for sure!
Enjoy!
Sirloin Tips Serves 2
(I use Nolan Ryan's All Natural Beef for all of our beef dishes, unless I'm able to get my hands on their Grass Fed line or some local grass fed beef. I do NOT buy regular commercial beef for our family any more and one of these days, I'll get around to telling you why.)
Ingredients
1lb small cut sirloin steaks, cut into bite size pieces
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large sweet onion, chopped
1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
1 cup kale, chopped (fresh spinach works too!)
1/4 cup arugula, chopped
3-4 Tbsp pineapple pico or salsa
Marinade of your choice
2 tsp balsalmic vinegarette
Directions
Start by briefly marinating the bite size pieces of sirloin. I used a pre-made marinade found in the produce section of our local Kroger, located with the fresh organic herbs. It's called Garden Gourmet. Here's a pic:
I let the sirloin pieces sit in that marinade for about 5 minutes. While waiting, I prepped my stir-fry pan with a tablespoon of refined coconut oil. When the pan was ready - the oil melted and warmed enough - I added the sirloin pieces, onions and garlic and sautéed until the sirloin was browned on the outside and the onions translucent.
Now add the mushrooms and kale. Then add your balsalmic vinegarette. I used a walnut & fig flavored version, but regular balsalmic vinegarette would work just fine.
Continue to sauté on a low heat setting for about 3-5 minutes, or until the sirloin is almost done to your preferred taste. One minute before pulling off the heat, add the pineapple pico. This gives the sirloin mix a nice sweet flavor!
You can serve this over rice OR over this amazing Homemade Alfredo sauce...
Alfredo Sauce
(This is another one of those recipes of mine I "play by ear" so feel free to add, subtract, remove, reduce whatever you feel necessary.)
Ingredients
1/2 stick of butter (I use unsalted organic butter)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small container whipping cream
Shredded Parmesan cheese
Shredded Romano cheese
Pepper to taste
Parsley
Directions
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over med-low heat. Once melted, whisk in the whipping cream. I guesstimate about 1/2 the container?? Lol!
Add the minced garlic and handfuls of both cheeses. Whisk them into the mix as they melt. Simmer a couple minutes & start your taste testing. If you feel it needs more of one cheese or another, add away! When you found the right mix, add the pepper and parsley.
Serve it over noodles of your choice. For this meal, I used normal organic spaghetti noodles.
And then I put the above sirloin tips over the noodles! Amazing!
To top the evening off, Mr. Berry made us one of our favorite aperitifs, Caprise!! Mmmm!
Bon appetite folks!
