Lay meat flat on broiler pan, using pairing knife make deep slits all over meat
stuff slices of fresh garlic into slits
coat meat with 1 tbs of olive oil
mix garlic salt and pepper togeather and smother over meat
cover and set meat to refrigorator until ready to cook
(this meat cooks under the broiler very quickly, so prepare all the other side dishes first and then reserve approx 10 minutes to cook the meat before serving)

Melt 2 sticks of butter into large frying pan
1 tbls of olive oil
add approx tbls of garlic salt, 1 tsp of pepper
add fresh mushroom and saute on med/low heat until cooked
add 2 tsp of lemon juice, mix through

broil meat approx 5 minutes on each side until each side gets a crispy skin to it, take out of oven let rest for 1-2 minutes (this hold the juices in) then slice meat with electric knife on a deep angle nice and thin until all meat is sliced, pour entire mushroom mixture over meat and serve!!



Loaded baked potatoes

very large baked potato
garlic salt/pepper/salt (all mixed togeather)
olive oil
sheets of tinfoil (cut enough to wrap each potato you are making)

clean potato good under cold running water then pat dry
coat you hands with olive oil and rub all over potato
put appox 1 tsp of garlic salt mixture into your hand and rub entire potato with it
wrap in tinfoil , twisting ends of tinfoil to seal.
place directly on over rack set at 400 degrees and cook approx 1 hour

when serving place one on each plate , unwrap from tinfoil, make long slit on top and short slit in the middle , from the sides of the potato push in (this will allow the potato to explode upwards ready to load with favorite toppings!

Popular toppings: cheese sauce (set aside from brochlii and cheese recipe), shredded cheddar cheese, crunchy fresh bacon bits, sour cream and butter!

The best thing about these potatoes is that the skin is so delicious and healthy for you , you can eat it, the flavor from the rub is awesome!


Brocholii and Cheese sauce

steam/cook brocholii as you normally would (be careful NOT to overcook , should still have nice bright green color)

The sauce:

1 large package of velveda block cheese, cubed
3 cups of milk
wondra (you can find this in a blue cardboard cylindar can near the flour in your grocery stores) it is awesome to keep in your pantry for making sauces and gravies with NO lumps!!
salt and pepper approx 1 tsp each

In large pot pour milk, salt and pepper and bring up to slow boil , slowly add wondra while wisking until milk has a creamy gravy like consistency, make sure burner is on low and slowly add cubes of cheese continue mixing until completly melted and you have made a creamy cheese sauce, put heat on low or warm setting and put aside until ready to pour over brocholii
(besure to save some to put on potato too)


This is a very easy dish to make and always a crowd pleaser with lot so flavor and very little prep time! A great alternitive is to cook the flank steak on the grill (being very careful not to over cook, there should always be a nice pink center to each slice of meat) cooking the meat on the grill gives a totally different flavor but delicious as well and great for entertaining outdoors!
