Pimento Cheese

I have made this recipe from 100 Days of Real Food twice in the last week.  I have used the pimento cheese as a topping on burgers and for a grilled cheese sandwich.

Ingredients:

• 5 ounces organic white sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated *I used a Cheddar/Gruyere cheese from Trader Joe's
• 4 ounces organic cream cheese, softened
• Half of a 4 ounce jar of diced pimentos, with juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• 1 – 2 drops of hot sauce

Directions

1. Blend all ingredients (down to the hot sauce) together very well with a spoon or fork.  Eat and Enjoy!

The Marlboro Man Sandwich

Three cheers to Pioneer Woman for another fabulous recipe! I made this for Walter this past Sunday in anticipation that he would be more hungry than usual following his marathon. He loved it and so did I. It makes a huge sandwich, so it was perfect for my very hungry husband.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole Large (or 2 Small) Onions
• 2 sticks Butter
  
• 2 pounds (to 3 Pounds) Cube Steak that's been tenderized
  
• Lawry's Seasoned Salt (or whatever seasoning you have on hand)
• ½ cups (approximately) Worcestershire Sauce
• Tabasco Sauce, To Taste
• 4 whole French/deli Rolls (or 1 large French roll from HT or Target)

Directions:

1. Slice onions and cook in 1/4 stick butter until soft and light brown. Remove and set aside.
2. Slice cube steak against the grain. Season with Lawry’s or other seasonings.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons butter over high heat (in same skillet) until melted and beginning to brown. Add meat in single layer. Cook one side until brown, then flip and cook until brown, about a minute on both sides.
4. Add 1/2 cup (at least) Worcestershire sauce, 5 to 6 shakes Tabasco, and 2 tablespoons butter. Add cooked onions. Stir to combine.
5. Butter halved French rolls and brown in skillet.
6. To assemble, lay bottom half of French roll on plate. Place meat mixture, followed by a spoonful of juice from the pan. Top with other half of roll, cut in half, and devour!
