BIG DADDY'S SPICY BEEF PATTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brown the ground beef in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, paprika, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir together, and then add the jalapeno. Remove from the heat, and add the bread crumbs and the beef broth. Stir well to combine and set aside to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, curry powder and water. Set aside.
• On a work surface, flatten the pie crusts and cut out 3-inch rounds using a cookie cutter.

BIG DADDY SPICY BEEF SALAD

Steps:

• Add the chipotles, 1/2 cup olive oil and the lime juice to a food processor or blender and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Pulse until it becomes a thick puree. Coat the flank steak with the chipotle mixture and let it marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to high heat.
• Add the jalapenos, cilantro, red peppers, red onion, peanuts, orange juice, soy sauce, sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large bowl. Toss the ingredients well to combine. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste, and set the bowl aside.
