Beer Braised Short Ribs

Serves 8

The meat practically falls off the bone and into your mouth. This is a great dish to make when you have to be home anyway. It just sits in the oven for a few hours; you don't have to bother with it.

6 to 8 pounds beef short ribs, about 18 ribs

Salt and freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

16 garlic cloves smash ed

2 inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch slices

16 ounces beer

6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

1 cup hoisin sauce (available in the supermarket near the Asian foods)

Directions:

1. Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large heavy pot with a lid (Dutch oven) over high heat. Brown the ribs on all sides, in batches if necessary.

2. Remove the ribs and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat.

3. Return the pot to the stove, lower the heat to medium and sautÃ¯Â¿Â½ the onions, garlic, and ginger for about 6 minutes. Add the ribs back to the pot along with the beer and vinegar.

4. Cover and simmer on low medium heat for 1 hour.

5. Preheat the oven to 355 degrees F.

6. Pour the hoisin sauce over the ribs and stir until well mixed. Put the pot to the oven, covered, and bake for 2 hours.

7. Skim off ALL fat from the top of the pot and serve.

'Sharon's Swiss Steak'
-------------------------
3lbs of cubed steak (that's about 5 or 6 pieces)
2 Campbells onion soup
flour
*****************
On a sheet of waxed paper..lay meat out & sprinkle 2 tsp of flour on each piece, patting it into the meat. S&P. Flip and repeat on other side.

In a large frying pan..add oil & when quite hot-sear meat for about 40 seconds on each side & remove from pan.

In a 13x9 pan..pour 1 can of the soup all over the bottom. Place meat portions single layer in the pan & pour other can of soup evenly over the meat.

Cover w/foil & bake at 350 for 60-70 min. or until meat is fork tender. I always throw baking potatoes in at the same time-the meat's juice is awesome on the 'taters! No knife needed to cut this meat..at the table!

This recipe is from the Cooking Forum. I sure miss Marilyn's recipes. They were the best!

MARILYN'S BRUSSEL SPROUTS

18-20 Brussels sprouts, cut in half
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
3/4 c. milk
1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. cracker crumbs

Clean sprouts by cutting off the tip of the stem and removing the tough outside leaves; wash in cold water. Place in a single layer in a medium skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add enough water to fill the bottom of the pan. Cover and bring to a simmer, steaming sprouts until a knife inserted comes out easily. Do not over cook. Immediately remove from skillet and place in ice water to stop the cooking and set the bright green color. Remove liquid from skillet and add butter, melting completely. Whisk in flour along with salt and pepper until smooth and bubbly; cook for about 2 minutes. Whisk in cold milk gradually until smooth and mixture thickens. Stir in cheese, remove from heat and stir in mayonnaise. Add sprouts to sauce and pour all into a casserole dish. Sprinkle top with cracker crumbs and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes until bubbly. Serves 4.

Triple Ginger Cookies Epicurious Two hours ago I was about to crawl back into bed, since Christmas hugs and kisses always seem to lead to New Year's colds and flu. But then I made my second batch of Alice Medrich's amazing triple-ginger cookies and a miracle happened: I'm well (almost). This recipe, in her enticing new "Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies," calls for no less than three-quarters of a cup of diced crystallized ginger plus two tablespoons of minced fresh ginger plus two teaspoons of ground ginger. Talk about a decongestant. I thought I was imagining things, but I see in the late Maggie Waldron's great "Cold Spaghetti at Midnight" that ginger is good for nearly anything that ails you. It's famous as a stomach soother (my in-law equivalent hates the crystallized kind because she remembers it as a seasickness antidote on whale-watching trips), but apparently it will also "curb flatulence." And it does help with colds and flu, Waldron says, prescribing a tablespoon grated into a warm cup of water to beat a cough and a few slices to be chewed to sweat off a fever. I was fine with raw cookie dough. (The best detail Waldron offers is that pharmacists in the 16th century (presumably in Europe) were "given a monopoly on gingerbread after it was decided that it was actually a drug made from ginger. Angry grocers fought back and eventually won the right to sell it, but the memory of the furious battle can be found today in fairy tales where the wicked witch almost always lives in a gingerbread house.") ALICE MEDRICH'S TRIPLE-GINGER COOKIES 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 teaspoons ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1 stick still-warm melted butter 1 large egg 1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/2 cup for rolling 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup dark molasses 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger 3/4 cup crystallized ginger cut into 1/4-inch dice Arrange racks on upper and bottom third of oven. Heat to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and spices and whisk to blend well. In a larger bowl, blend butter, egg, sugars, molasses and fresh ginger. Blend in dry ingredients and crystallized ginger. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the second half-cup of sugar. Arrange 2 inches apart on non-stick or parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake about 10 minutes, until the cookies puff and deflate, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through for even baking. Cool on racks. Store in an airtight container (they seem to get stronger over time).

This recipe has rave reviews. A fast, creamy pan sauce dresses up these simple seared pork chops; serve them with rice or noodles to soak up the sauce. Pork Chops with Mustard Sauce (Fine Cooking) Eight 1/2-inch-thick boneless pork chops (about 3 oz. each) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 Tbs. all-purpose flour 1 Tbs. unsalted butter 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil; more as needed 1/2 cup dry white wine 3/4 cup heavy cream or 1/2 and 1/2 1/2 cup lower-salt chicken broth 1/4 cup stoneground or country-style mustard Season the chops lightly with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Put the butter and oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. When hot, add 4 of the pork chops and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer the pork to a serving platter and tent with foil. Repeat with the remaining chops, adding another tablespoon of oil to the pan if necessary. Pour off any fat in the pan, add the wine, and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Increase the heat to medium high and boil until the wine is reduced to about 2 Tbs., 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cream, chicken broth, and mustard and boil until reduced to a saucy consistency, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return the pork and any juices to the pan, turn to coat with the sauce, and then transfer back to the serving platter. Drizzle any sauce remaining in the skillet over the chops and serve.

Bacon and Mushroom Bite-Size Quiche Makes 3 1/2 dozen. Serving size: 1 quiche. Ingredients * 8 slices bacon * 1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, chopped * 1 tablespoon butter * 1/3 cup green onion, chopped * 1 2/3 cups Swiss cheese, shredded * Pastry for double-crust pie, (homemade or purchased) * 5 eggs * 1 2/3 cups sour cream Directions Heat oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured board, roll out the pastry dough 1/ 16-inch thick. Using a 3-inch cutter, cut out 42 circles; re-roll scraps as needed. Fit circles into bottoms and slightly up sides of lightly greased 2-1/2-inch muffin pans. Meanwhile, fry bacon slices until crisp, drain; crumble or chop. Chop mushrooms, saute in butter until limp and liquid evaporates. Combine bacon, mushrooms, green onion and cheese. Divide filling equally among muffin cups. In large bowl, beat together eggs, add sour cream and stir until smooth. Spoon about 1 tablespoon into each muffin cup. Bake until puffed and light brown, 20-25 minutes. Cool in pans 5 minutes; lift out. Serve warm or let cool on wire racks. If made ahead, wrap cooled quiches airtight, and refrigerate overnight. Reheat, uncovered, in a 350 degrees F. oven for about 10 minutes. When I go to Sams I buy a bag of real bacon which is cooked and crumbled, it is a large bag and last a long time and can be used in so many dishes. Keeps me from having to fry up just a few slices of bacon for my recipes. And really bacon goes on pretty much anything! If you look for it is is not in the fridge section it is usually with the big seasoning containers or with the salad dressing. I often have to ask they keep moving things. from the Diabetic Gourmet Bacon and Mushroom Bite-Size Quiche
