Roasted Sesame Beef And Broccoli

Do you have a favorite dish you order at a Chinese restaurant? If you said Beef & Broccoli, I have a deal for you!

In less than 30 minutes, you can have hot, fresh beef and broccoli with very limited prep and just 15 minutes of roasting.

The best part of this recipe is that you don't have to cook the meat ahead of time. I hope I'm not the only one who specifically looks for recipes that cook the beef, chicken or pork while it's in the oven rather than preparing it somehow first. If this is you, too, this version's a keeper.

Ingredients:
Half an 8-oz bottle of Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing
4 Tbsp soy sauce 
2 large heads of fresh broccoli, chopped
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Instant brown rice
Sesame seeds for garnish
Green onions, chopped for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

2. In a large bowl, combine dressing and 2 Tbsp soy sauce.

3. Add broccoli to the bowl and toss to combine. Pour broccoli into bottom of the baking dish.

4. In the same bowl, combine brown sugar and 2 Tbsp soy sauce. 

5. Add steak pieces and toss to coat. Pour steak on top of broccoli in baking dish.

6. Roast beef and broccoli 12-15 minutes, until beef is cooked to desired doneness.

7. Prepare instant brown rice according to package. Serve with beef and broccoli, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
