Oh my.....that sounds outstanding! Got a recipe or should I just play with the ingredients? I have a nice pot of cilantro growing out front.

ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICHES


3 to 4 pound Beef Roast

4 or 5 large cloves of fresh garlic

1 large onion

Oregano or “Italian” seasoning

Pepper

2 envelops of Au jus mix

Sufficient number of hard crust Hoagie buns

1 Green pepper


Peel garlic cloves and slice them into thin slices. Trim excess fat from beef. Using a small paring knife, stab the beef with the knife about one inch deep. Before removing the knife, rock it to one side and slide a garlic slice into the beef by sliding the garlic down the side of the knife. Hold the garlic to keep it from sliding out when you remove the knife. Repeat this procedure about every inch on all sides of the meat, top, bottom, sides and ends.

Liberally sprinkle pepper and oregano or “Italian” seasoning all over the outside of the meat.

Place the meat on a rack in a covered roasting pan. Support the rack at least ½ inch from the bottom of the pan. Pour water into the bottom of the pan to a level just below the level of the meat.

Peel the onion and cut off the top and the bottom and cut it in half from top to bottom. Placing each half on either the top or bottom surface, cut the onion vertically so as to produce strips of onion about 1-1/2 to 2 inches long, ¼ inch wide. Put as much of the onion strips as possible on the top of the meat and the rest on the rack or in the water.

Cover the pan and place it in an oven set to 200 degrees (important that the water not boil.) Cook for 8 hours.

When done, remove the meat from the pan (remove the onions from the top of the meat and leave in the pan.) Remove the rack.

Place the pan on one of the top burners of the stove and put a moderate fire under it. With a spoon scrape the bottom of the pan to dislodge anything stuck to it and mix it with the juices.

Mix the Au Jus mixes with two cups of water and ad to the pan. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes. After the mixture has simmered, check the thickness of the gravy by looking at a small amount in the spoon. Add at least one more cup of water while checking to make sure you do not dilute it too much.

Let the meat cool and place it on a plate and put it into the refrigerator until fully cold. Pour the gravy into a large saucepan or kettle big enough to hold the gravy and the beef after it is sliced. Place in refrigerator.

When the gravy is cool remove the solidified grease from the top and discard the grease. Slice the beef as thin as possible, and place in the saucepan or kettle and heat.

Clean the seeds from the green pepper and slice it into thin strips and place in a pot of water and boil until tender.

Place the buns in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes to make the crusts hard. (If the crust is not hard, there is a potential for a big mess.) [Experience talking] Slice the buns lengthwise. Scoop the beef onto the bottom half of the bun, (careful, not too much gravy) place a few pepper strips on top of the beef. Spoon a little gravy on the top half of the bun, place the top on the beef and serve and ENJOY.

It's okay, Connie. Your tilapia are probably farm grown. It's just that tilapia here taste like mud 'cause that's where they're caught.

As a kid in upstate NY, we fished all the time in summer. Creeks and streams were ok but we got the most fish from the swamp. My mother would always marvel at the catch we brought home while inspecting our clothes and shoes. Swamp fish became fertilizer for the garden.

Do you like pasta sauces?

Will you share them with us?

Chilli-getti

Fry 1 1/2lbs lean ground beef w/garlic salt, chilli powder, then drain
Use large pot, add several cans tomato sauce and tomato juice to thin it (like it not too thick)
Add sliced mushrooms, more chillipowder
Add browned ground beef, cook for a while longer
Boil spagetti, mix it all together

Add parmesan cheese on finished product. Eat it with tortilas or garlic bread. You can add spagetti to any chilli, but I find it works better with thin sauced chilli.
