Steamed Artichokes
We love artichokes and they are readily available at this time of year.
Trim the stems from the artichokes and place them in the basket of a steamer.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and Dill Pepper.
Steam for one hour – checking the water level and adding more to make sure it doesn’t evaporate.
Serve with melted butter and mayonnaise mixed with lemon juice and a sprinkle of Chili Powder.
Wine Marinated Eye of Round
This delicious steak take a little preparation to make. The night or morning before you’re going to cook it:
Rub Salt. Pepper, and Herbes de Provence into both sides of the steaks.
Place them in a deep container with a lid and pour in half a bottle of red wine.
Turn ever few hours to ensure equal marinating.
Pan-fry in a couple of tablespoons of Olive Oil 5 – 9 minutes per side – according to your desired level of doneness (is that even a word? LOL!)
