What should i make my wife for dinner tonight?!
Answers: I really don't see my wife that often and I was thinking of making dinner for the both of us tonight. I was thinking of making something with beef. Any ideas?
Perfect Winter Beef Stew
3/4 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing 2 lb. beef for stew, such as beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch chunks 6 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped 3 cups sliced mushrooms 1 cup chopped onions (about 1 large) 3 cups sliced carrots (about 6 medium) 1-1/2 lb. potatoes, peeled, cut into large chunks (about 4 cups) 1 can (14-1/2 oz.) stewed tomatoes, undrained 1 can (14-1/2 oz.) beef broth POUR dressing over meat in large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag; turn to evenly coat meat with dressing. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate. Meanwhile, cook bacon in large saucepan on medium heat 5 min. or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from saucepan; drain drippings.
ADD mushrooms and onions to same saucepan; cook on medium-high heat 10 min. or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove meat from marinade; discard marinade. Add meat, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, broth and bacon to saucepan; stir.
BRING to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 hour 15 min. Uncover; simmer an additional 15 min. or until meat is cooked through and sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.
Hope it helps...Enjoy a romantic dinner with your wife ?
something she really likes. :)
idk, that is just so gd sweet, i can't stand it!!!
Well I love Steak
Maybe Steak with a sause - google sauses to go well with steak
Or another, Bangers and mash
3-4 sausages with Red onion gravey - always works a treat.
beef stew,
tacos with rice beef and melted cheese,
that's all I could think of but I hope you have a good time with your wife.
Ahhh, who really cares....the fact that you are making her dinner should be special enough - but if she loves steak go for that!
(I don't allow my hubby to cook - he did it once 15 years ago and I haven't forgotten the taste yet)
Dude...anything with candles, soft music, and a bottle of wine. Believe me, she won't really care what's on the plate.
(Maybe Beef Stroganoff.)
Hey go out in the back yard if it is a warm night there, put a table with two candles a glass of wine if you drink, if not a wine glass full of colored kool-aide works, set the table just like a dinner would,
Make her favorite meal and serve it to her under the stars and moon if the night is good!
you will love the results!
TRADITIONAL ENGLISH ROAST BEEF.
Piece of standing rib or sirloin
Beef dripping or lard
Potatoes & parsnips
Salt & pepper
Meat must be marbled or wrapped in a layer of fat. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place meat, fat side up, in a shallow roaster (on a rack if available). Season meat and spread with fat. Roast a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350-375 degrees. Cook for 20 minutes per pound plus 20 minutes. Baste every 20-25 minutes. Do not add water. Peel potatoes and parsnips and cut into large chunks (allow 2 pieces of each per person).
About 1 hour and 15 minutes before meat is done, add chunks to the fat in the roaster and coat well. If desired, fat can be drained off into another roaster and the vegetables cooked separately. Cook with meat. Turn every 25-30 minutes. When done, remove meat and vegetables, drain off fat and make gravy with the meat residue in the bottom of the roaster.
if it's in steak form, grill it medium rare and make a wine/mushroom sauce/ gravy over the top, make sure you present it by slicing it on the bias and drizzle the sauce over it; a dark red drinking wine is best for the gravy........... use the drippings or beef boullion for the base of the sauce! OH ya and roasted red potatos with it............ or some steamed greens; either aspargus or broccoli. Garlic bread with it is good!
If it's ground beef make spaghetti! that's always romantical! Don't forget to use real garlic for flavor and top with grated parm chz and chopped up italian parsley!
ur making me hungery talking bout all this! GOOD LUCK!
somethig
good
anything romantic i guess...........

Filet Mignon, Medium. Double baked potatoes with sour cream and chive. And either asparagus in butter sauce, or stir fried broccoli in olive oil with garlic.
POOR MAN’S SWISS STEAK
Mix: 1 lb. hamburger
1 cup cornflakes
salt & pepper to taste
small amount dices onion
Spread in a square baking pan.
Pour: 1 can mushroom soup
1 can water
(combine together, first)
Pour over meat mixture.
Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
POT ROAST
Your choice of beef (to fit crock-pot)
1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Brown Gravy mix
1 cup water
Put beef in pot.
Mix together all the dry mixes….then add water …pour over meat and cover & cook on high 4-6 hours.
Until meat is tender.
The first time I mad it I didn’t have the Italian Dressing mix….so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mix….I have to say I liked that better.
If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mix….to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add potatoes and carrots…but never got around to it.
Try this recipe with beef…ribs…or stew meat….serve with rice.
COLA CHICKEN
(This is my favorite way of fixing chicken wings……and ribs.)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan. Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from
sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce becomes
thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto "Hot
Wings"! Not tried this, yet.
I have used Ribs, just as good.
Fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe) but...I
added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for "HOT") Buffalo
Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it
was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).
