Franks Under Wraps Food

FRENCH FRY FRANKS

Steps:

• Make the franks: Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar and paprika in a large bowl. Add the egg and milk and whisk to make a thick batter, adding more milk if the mixture is too dry. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Dip the franks in the batter, then carefully wrap a long curly fry around each. (If desired, thread the franks on wooden skewers before wrapping with fries.)
• Working in batches, fry the franks in the hot oil, turning, until golden on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; sprinkle with salt.
• Meanwhile, make the dip: Whisk the Sriracha, lime juice and mayonnaise in a bowl. Serve with the franks.

FRANK'S STEAK

Steps:

• Combine wine and sugar in a large pot and bring to boil; lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in cloves, orange zest, nutmeg, and cinnamon and remove pan from heat to cool. Put steaks in a large baking dish and pour marinade over them. Marinate steaks in refrigerator for at least several hours and up to 3 days.
• Take steaks out of the marinade, season with salt and pepper, and cook them in a very hot skillet, about 2 minutes each side for medium rare.

GRILLED WRAPPED FRANKS

Steps:

• Pat franks dry.
• Mix baking mix and water until soft dough forms; beat vigorously 20 strokes.
• Divide dough into 10 equal parts.
• Pat 1 part dough around each frank with finger floured with baking mix, completely covering frank.
• (At this point, wrapped franks can be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours.) Brush cooking grill with oil.
• Grill franks about 4" from hot coals, turning frequently, until brown, about 15 minutes.
• ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF COOKING: Bake wrapped franks.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Bake uncovered on greased cookie sheet until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
