Garlic Stuffed Flank Steak Recipe

This dish has it all, it's quick, it's easy, and it's elegant.  I love that this dish can be made ahead, but it's the presentation that makes this entree special.  Your guests will think you spent hours preparing this meal.  Shhh, don't tell them!

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsb.) olive oil
• 1 1/2- 2 lbs. flank steak pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
• wooden skewers (soaked 30 minutes before grilling)
• 4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp) Cherchies®Garlic Seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon (tsp.) pepper
• 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
• 1 large red pepper, chopped
• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp.) Cherchies®Pepper Pizzazz Seasoning or Cherchies®Lem 'n Pepper Seasoning

Preparation

If cooking immediately, soak skewers 30 minutes before cooking meat.  

Prepare the cream cheese mixture and the meat.  Mix together the cream cheese, garlic seasoning, and pepper and set aside.  Pound the flank steak between two sheets of plastic until the meat is about 1/2 inch thick.  Generously season both sides of the flank steak with Pepper Pizzazz or Lem 'n Pepper Seasonings.

Spread the seasoned flank steak with the cream cheese mixture.

Add the chopped pepper and spinach. Carefully roll the meat with plastic wrap (Use the same plastic that you used to pound the meat).  If going to cook immediately, take the soaked skewers and pierce the steak roll with the skewers about 1 inch apart.  (If making ahead, wrap rolled meat in plastic and refrigerate, making sure to take meat out 30 minutes before cooking).

Turn griddle or pan on medium and drizzle with olive oil.  Slice the steak roll between the skewers and add the steak skewers to the griddle or pan.  Cook on each side for a few minutes or until done to your preferance (Pink, no pink...).  Your family or friends will think you are a culinary genius!  Enjoy!

Summer Meatball Sliders Recipe

Summer Meatball Sliders Recipe

For a last minute lunch, I whipped up these cuties for my daughter and her friend.  They were playing in the water and I asked them to give me a warning when they were hungry.  Immediately, they said, "Warning!"  Yikes, I needed something quick.  I came out with these 5 minutes later...mom saved the day, plus the little umbrellas were a hit, a perfect summer treat:)

Ingredients

• King Hawaiian rolls (or any slider rolls will do)
• Frozen Meatballs (I usually make my own meatballs (using our Garlic Seasoning) and freeze a bunch for later
• Your favorite spaghetti sauce
• Shredded Mozzarella cheese (optional)

Preparation

In a medium pan, heat meatballs in sauce until the meatballs are cooked.  When meatballs are cooked, place one meatball on each of the slider rolls.  (Optional, add mozzarella cheese on top of meatballs) Secure with your favorite pick.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2-3 Chicken breasts, cut into cubes (more for a crowd)

• 2 Tablespoons (Tbsp.) Cherchies Garlic Seasoning (Can substitute Cherchies Garlic'n Herbs No Salt Seasoning)

• 1 teaspoon (tsp) pepper

• 1 Pineapple cut into chunks (scales removed and cored. For this recipe, I only used 1/2 of the pineapple).

• 1 pound of cherry or grape tomatoes, washed

• 2 Tablespoons Cherchies Champagne Mustard (more for a crowd). Like it spicier? try Cherchies Hot Banana Pepper Mustard

• 1/2 jar of Cherchies Strawberry Hot Pepper Jam (try Cherchies Cherry Hot Pepper Jam, Cherchies Cranberry Hot Pepper Jam, or Cherchies Lem'n Raspberry Marmalade for a different twist)

• Cooking spray

• Skewers (soaked 30 minutes prior to cooking)

• *2 cups of cooked rice seasoned with Cherchies Garlic and Herbs No Salt Seasoning (optional)

Preparation

Soak skewers in a shallow casserole dish 30 minutes prior to cooking.

On a large plate, season both sides of chicken with Cherchies Garlic Seasoning and pepper.  Set aside. In the meantime, spray grill with cooking spray, light grill, and turn gril onto high.

While the grill is warming, core and cut pineapple into chunks and cut chicken into cubes.  Skewer chicken, pineapple, and tomatoes onto skewers.  ( I usually put the vegetables and fruit on seperate skewers, due to the differnt cooking times).  Turn grill down to low.  Place chicken on grill and cook for a few minutes on each side.

After the chicken has cooked for a few minutes, add the pineapple skewers to the grill, and cook for a few minutes on each side.  If you've never had grilled pineapple, you're in for a real treat!  All the sugars in the pineapple come to life, for flavors that will make your taste buds tingle.

The tomatoes are the last to enter the grill, since they don't take as long to cook.  (They look pretty with grill marks).

While the kabobs are cooking, make the glaze.  Combine champagne mustard and pepper jam in a small bowl.  As kabobs are finishing cooking, brush half of the glaze onto the kabobs, reserving the rest for the presentation at the end.

Remove chicken, pineapple, and tomatoes from the grill and set aside to absorb all the juices.  Serve over rice seasoned with Cherchies Garlic'n Herbs No Salt Seasoning (optional).  Brush skewers with remaining glaze.  Dinner is served! Enjoy.
