BEEF TIPS WITH MUSHROOM, SHERRY, GARLIC AND BUTTER-ALMOND-CITRUS RICE

Steps:

• Heat a sauce pot over medium heat, add butter to the pot and melt. Add almonds and toast 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice and the zest of an orange and a lemon then turn the rice to coat, cook 1 minute. Add stock and bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover and cook 17 to 18 minutes.
• While rice cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 turns of the pan. Pat meat dry. When oil ripples and begins to smoke, add the beef and brown 3 minutes on each side. Remove when evenly deep brown and reserve on plate.
• Add remaining olive oil to skillet, 3 turns, heat until oil ripples then add mushrooms and brown 7 to 8 minutes. Add garlic after 5 to 6 minutes. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper cook a few minutes more. Add sherry, reduce 1 minute, add beef stock and beef tips and their juices to pan. Reduce heat and cook 3 to 4 minutes more. Turn off heat.
• Fluff rice with fork and serve with the beef and mushrooms.

MAMA CINDY'S SUPER SIMPLE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, add ground beef, egg, pickle juice, ketchup, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. With clean hands, dig in and knead ingredients, mixing them well through the beef.
• 2. Form the ground beef into a small loaf, and place into a loaf pan. Using a spoon or fork, make an indented area along the top of the loaf.
• 3. In a separate bowl, add the remaining ketchup and brown sugar. Mix it well to make a sauce, breaking up any chunks of brown sugar.
• 4. With a spoon, spread the "sauce" over the top of the meatloaf. Bake at 375 for 45 to 50 minutes. Serve with organic green beans and baked potato for a hearty and satisfying meal!
