Make it Monday

I bet you thought I forgot about Make it Mondays.  Surprise!  Here is what's for dinner:

Superhero Spinach and Cowboy Steak with Whole Wheat Macaroni

Spinach

Ingredients:

1-2 pounds fresh spinach

3 slices of bacon

1/4-1/2 onion

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1/2 cup stock of choice (we use beef because of Caleb's chicken allergy)

pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

How to:

Cube and cook bacon in a skillet.  Once fat starts to show, add chopped onion in rendered fat.  Saute until translucent.  Add garlic and cook for a few more minutes.  Be careful not to burn the garlic so it doesn't turn bitter.  Add pepper flakes and stir in spinach a handful at a time until they begin to wilt a little.  Add stock in a box and cook until they are completely wilted and ready to eat. (About 10 minutes)  Serves 5

Steak

Ingredients:

2 t-bone steaks

1/2 cup soy sauce

teaspoon of sugar

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon of chili oil

1 clove minced garlic

1 tablespoon grated onion

1 tablespoon minced ginger

1 tablespoon sesame oil

salt and pepper to taste

How to:

Set t-bone steaks aside.  Combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili oil, garlic, grated onion, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl.  Transfer to a gallon size plastic bag.  Add t-bones and preheat grill to medium-medium high heat.  Cook steaks for 3-4 minutes on each size for medium to medium well.  Let it rest for a few minutes and enjoy.
