Recipe Review: Sirloin Tip Roast

 From time to time, people have said I'm a good cook.  But I think of it more as finding good recipes.  Recipes that don't have super complex ingredients and deliver good flavor.  I enjoy the search.   For the last few years, we typically will get a bulk order of beef from a friend that raises steers.  We are going to eat beef and it's our modest effort to buy local and lessen the impact.  When you buy in bulk, you end up with some cuts of beef that can be a bit tougher to turn into something yummy that the family will enjoy.  So I'm often searching for new recipes for those cuts and a thick and lean Sirloin Tip Roast can be in that category.  We are approaching that bulk purchase time of year again so I'm trying to empty out the freezer and decided I'd pull said roast from the freezer and look up a recipe.  It was a rainy weekend so it seemed like a good chance to fill up the house with that classic pot roast aroma.  This reci...

Recipe Review: Sirloin Tip Roast

 From time to time, people have said I'm a good cook.  But I think of it more as finding good recipes.  Recipes that don't have super complex ingredients and deliver good flavor.  I enjoy the search.  

For the last few years, we typically will get a bulk order of beef from a friend that raises steers.  We are going to eat beef and it's our modest effort to buy local and lessen the impact.  When you buy in bulk, you end up with some cuts of beef that can be a bit tougher to turn into something yummy that the family will enjoy.  So I'm often searching for new recipes for those cuts and a thick and lean Sirloin Tip Roast can be in that category. 

We are approaching that bulk purchase time of year again so I'm trying to empty out the freezer and decided I'd pull said roast from the freezer and look up a recipe.  It was a rainy weekend so it seemed like a good chance to fill up the house with that classic pot roast aroma. 

This recipe from Sunday Supp Movement really did the job.  It was pretty straightforward.  I only needed to grab a few items from the store to make it happen.  I used the Rock Crock Dutch Oven from Pampered Chef for all the steps.  It worked out really nicely to sear the roast, saute the onions, deglaze with wine and then put the rest of the ingredients into the oven.  And no tough clean up because like most Pampered Chef items it's dishwasher safe.  I used the super-handy Mix 'n Chop to get the beef shredded while letting the sauce reduce down a bit on the stove after the 3.5 hour bake.  Turned out pretty tender and flavorful like an open faced beef sandwich using up some left over hamburger buns.  

Sorry, no photos of this cook.  Didn't cross my mind.  Maybe next time.

Fox Valley Blogger: Post Packer Draft 2022

 The most hyped "draft" event of all major sports wrapped up this weekend.  I am resurrecting the old blog today to share some thoughts on my local team.  There is a nice summary of the picks here if you are looking for more info.   Clearly, most Packer fans (including myself) were expecting the Packers to take a WR early in the draft after the departure of star WR Davante Adams who was traded to the Raiders earlier in the off-season. Day 1 of the draft probably left many Packer fans disappointed and scratching their heads.  The Packers went after defense early with two first round picks taking an ILB & DL from defensive powerhouse Georgia.  After the initial shock wore off, I started to come around to really like these picks.  For years, the Packers' front seven on defense has always had some holes to fix and it seems the Packers have finally buttoned up what looks to be a solid defense.  Also worth noting, there was a pretty early run ...

Product Review: Cuisinart Deep Fryer

 Hey Folks, I'm dusting off the old blog and we'll see if it sticks.  But for now I'm hoping to share some content and maybe, hopefully, it's helpful to someone.  The last few years I've considered cooking to essentially be my hobby.  I enjoy trying to make good, reasonable food for my family.  Nothing elaborate but basically simple and tasty (I hope).  And sometimes a little bit healthy.   My younger son enjoys some fried foods and frankly so do I.  At one point during the pandemic, he said, "Dad, we should get a deep fryer."  A few minutes later, I visited Amazon and found this Cuisinart Deep Fryer  . A couple clicks later we are waiting for delivery.  So it's been about a year, and I gotta say it was a pretty good purchase.  I've made french fries a few times, donuts, chicken tenders & shrimp.  Not a ton of use because I prefer to use it outdoors to avoid filling up the house with fryer fragrance.  But it'...

Recipe Review: Pork Carnitas

 If you are at all like me, you are always seeking out new recipes to try and get great flavors at home.  Especially since COVID restricted our access to dining out, I have been more motivated than ever to try new recipes at home.   The use of this  Pork Carnitas recipe was prompted by noticing how inexpensive pork shoulder roasts can be at the store.  Sometimes they are on sale and I'm buying 3-4 lbs of meat for just a few bucks.  Especially when compared to the cost of beef nowadays and some items being harder to come by during the pandemic.   Couple that with my appetite for anything "taco" related and this recipe turned out to be a good match for me.  I mean, I would do tacos / nachos etc. just about every day of the week if I had to.  I love those flavors.  This recipe in my opinion is pretty much spot on.  My first run came out a bit salty so I tried low sodium chicken broth as an alternative but that didn't help mu...
