Crunchwrap Suprreme

Google Image

I forgot to get a picture of my crunchwrap supreme, but the above is what my (kind of) looked like. The tortillas we bought were to small, so we used two, we folded it like above (to much filling showing) and then placed another tortilla over it, flipped it and folded it again. Either way, this is really, really good! Everyone in my family loved it!!! And, I know what's in this taco! Don't get me wrong, I love taco bell, but I also like NOT eating a boat load of preservatives! It may look and sound intimidating, but it really is easy, the folding part is kind of hard, but you figure it out quickly.

Large Flour tortillas

1 lb ground beef, cooked (make sure it's hot when you make your wrap)

1 pkg taco seasoning

Sour Cream

Tortilla chips

Warm Queso Style cheese (optional-I preferred it without-it tasted the same without and you save calories)

Shredded Cheddar cheese

Shredded lettuce

Diced Tomatoes

Mix together the beef and taco seasoning. Depending on your tortillas you may need to warm your tortilla a little, take a tortilla, **spread some sour cream in the center, add some beef, then cheddar cheese and then some tortilla chips (you may need to break them up a little), if using-plop on some queso cheese; now add your lettuce and tomatoes. 

On medium-low heat in a skillet put a little butter in the pan. Once the butter is melted, your pan is ready.

Now, fold your wrap, like the picture above (it's OK if a there's a slight opening). Place, folded side down in skillet cook until brown (don't flip early). Brown other side and then enjoy-just be careful it may be hot!

**You could always make it like my mom, fill it like you're going to fold it in half and fold it in half, rather than wrap it. 

Makes 4 wraps.

Punch down and turn out onto lightly floured surface. Shape into 10 balls. Cover and let sit 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the onion and garlic in 1 tbs oil until onion is tender, not brown. Add the oven cooked bbf beef and cook until the beef is heated through. Stir water and soy sauce into cornstarch, add the 2 tbs sugar and the ginger. Add this to the beef mixture. Cook and stir until thickened.
On lightly floured surface, press each ball of dough into a circle, dived the meat amongst the circles; bring edges of dough up and around the filling, stretched if needed, to pinch the dough together and close the bun.
Meanwhile, over high heat, bring water streaming boil. Place steamer rack over boiling water. Cover steamer; steam buns 15-17 minutes, until the dough is bread.

NOTE:
If you don't have a steaming rack (we have a bamboo steamer) google some diy ideas. We used disposable pie pans (I forget how we did it, but we did make one).

For the Oven BBQ Beef:
2 lbs beef
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 TBS thinly sliced green onions
2 TBS dry sherry

Outback Steakhouse Dinner 1 of 4: Steak Seasoning

Now, I don't feel like this really matching Outback's steak flavor....it could the the way we cooked the steaks, it could be the cut of steaks...but either way, I love this seasoning.
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black powder
1/4 tsp onion salt (or powder-the salt gives a little more kick)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp coriander
1/8 tsp turmeric
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
This recipe yields about 4 teaspoons of seasoning.

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl.
To prepare steaks:: Preheat a flat grill (or you could use a frying pan). Sprinkle some of the seasoning over both sides of the steak.
Grill the steaks on each side to your desired level of doneness. Be sure to use tongs to sear all the edges of each steak to a rich brown color.

Mongolian Beef

I made this dish a few nights ago for dinner and it was a big hit! You had to practically fight for leftovers! My family said this is the best Chinese dish I've ever made and that this recipe is a definite keeper!!

3 lbs of your choice of beef (steak, roast beef etc. I used roast beef) thinly sliced
3/4 cup of cornstarch
9 tsp of canola oil
1/2 tsp of  ground ginger
3 TBS of minced garlic
1-1/2 cups of water
1-1/2 cups of soy sauce (I used the light low sodium kind)
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
8 large green onions, sliced into 1 inch pieces
1 head of broccoli cut into pieces

Prepare the meat:
First, make sure the beef slices are dry (pat them dry if needed) and mix them with the corn starch.
Using your hands move them around to make sure all pieces are coated.
Heat half of the oil in a large skillet at medium-high and add the garlic and ginger. Immediately add the soy sauce, water, brown sugar and pepper flakes. Cook the sauce for about 2 minutes and transfer to a bowl. Don't worry if the sauce doesn't look thick enough at this point. The corn starch in the beef will thicken it up later. 
Turn the heat up and add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the beef and cook, stirring until it is all browned (you're just browning the outside of the beef, you're not cooking it through).
Pour the sauce back into the skillet and let it cook along with the meat. Simmer for 20 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and the sauce thickened.
Add the green onions and broccoli the few minutes of cooking, you don't want them to be mushy, you want them more on the raw side. 
Serve it hot with rice.
