Welcome to the Family Recipes

Lamb Marinade

1 1/2 cups of salad oil
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp. dry mustard  (I never use this much)
2 1/4  tsps salt  (way too much)
1 Tbsp black pepper  (I don't use this much either)
1/2 cup wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsps. dried parsley flakes
2 crushed garlic cloves (I use powdered garlic)
1/3 cup of lemon juice


Combine all ingredients in a bowl until blended and store in quart 
container, preferably glass.  (mayo jar).  Since you are not making 
shish-kabobs with lamb I would suggest not soaking the steaks but 
just brushing some on them early in the day.  Both sides use glass 
pan not metal, like a cake pan.

Banana Nut Bread

Banana Nut Bread    

Heat oven to 350   Cook time 1 hour

Need two bowls - one for wet stuff one for dry

Wet
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup margarine or butter =  1 stick
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (3-4 bananas)
1 TBSP lemon juice

Dry
2 cups sifted flour
3 Tsps.  baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped nuts

Cream sugar and butter, add eggs one at a time and mix well after each
one. Stir in bananas and lemon juice. (juice prevents blackening of
bananas.

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.  Add to wet ingredients and
stir quickly but not too much.  Add nuts.

Pour into greased loaf pan ( 1 large or 2 small)  Bake 1 hour at 350 and
test with toothpick at 45 mins.   Usually tastes better on second day,
but is lovely hot out of the oven.

Use Pam on pan, easier than greasing. and can be made with egg beaters
for less cholesterol


Italian Steak

0.5  cup crushed garlic
0.25 salt/pepper
1.0  cup chopped red onion
1.0  Tbsp+ oregano (use to taste)

In 9X12 Pyrex baking dish add, crushed garlic, red onion, oregano, bay          
leaves, salt/pepper, balsamic vinegar, and Olive oil.  Marinade steak for 3      
hours. When done coat entire top sirloin in Italian Bread crumbs, place on          
grill (see below).

Prewarm BBQ / Oven to roughly 400deg.F for 15 minutes. When hot place steak
on grill for 12.5 minutes. Turn once with tongs.


The bread crumbs hold the juices in keeping the meat tender. This adds a
unique twist to the same old steak.  Sure to be a family favorite.  For
Debbie, squash, eggplant, and a whole host of other vegetables can be
substituted for the meat. Serve with salad, vegetables, and wine (RED).

Bon Appetite!
