Steak Recipe - How To Make Steak Tender

Steak Recipe - How To Make Steak Tender   You invest a lot of time and money into the steaks for a special occasion and when dinner time comes, they are tough. What happened? How can you cook steaks as tender as your favorite restaurant? The first step to cooking a good steak is to choose the right grade of steak. The top quality beef is graded USDA Prime and commands top prices. USDA Prime grade meats are sold to the restaurant industry and specialty markets and are not as likely to be found at your local grocery chain. The next grade of beef is USDA Choice. USDA Choice is tender, flavorful and only slightly lower in quality than USDA Prime. The meat is well marbled with fat and will be tender and juicy when properly prepared. USDA Choice makes up about 70% of all graded beef and is readily available in your supermarket. USDA Good graded beef is an acceptable grade of beef that has only minimal marbling of fat.

Deviled Egg : Best Appetizer Deviled Egg Recipe

Deviled Egg : Best Appetizer Deviled Egg Recipe  


Deviled Egg


Deviled eggs have earned their niche in the finger-food hall of fame. One of the reasons they’re so popular is that they can be varied in so many ways. For your next barbecue, patio party or picnic, why not go beyond the traditional filling flavouring s of mayo, mustard and pickle relish? Experiment with a little taco sauce and chili powder or Parmesan cheese and pesto to create your own signature deviled eggs.

For mussels, fuss less deviled eggs, simply place the yolks in a 1-quart plastic food-storage bag along with other filling ingredients. Gently squeeze the air out of the bag and seal the bag. Knead until everything is smooth and well blended. When you’re ready to fill the egg white halves, push the yolk mixture toward a corner of the bag and snip about 1/2 inch off the corner. Squeezing the bag gently, fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture. If you’re pressed for time, prepare the deviled egg mixture the day before and refrigerate it right in the bag. In addition to the prepare-ahead convenience, this will allow time for the flavors to blend.

To tote your eggs to a gathering, pack the egg white halves in a separate sealed container from the bagged yolk mixture. Transport both containers in an insulated bag or cooler with ice or commercial coolant to keep the eggs cold (40 degree F or lower). Pack a small set of scissors to cut off the bag corner so you can pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves on site.

No inspiration for a new deviled egg creation? Then, add a refreshing pizzazz to your eggs with sour cream, cucumber and dill. Whichever deviled egg recipe you choose, the eggs will be a welcome alternative to deep-fat-fried snack foods.
