Here’s to a New Year!

I always love the new year.  This year we have my daughter’s wedding in June to look forward to.  We are all very excited about it!

On my Facebook page for A Recipe A Day, I said that I don’t like resolutions.  In fact, I hate the word.  It sets me up for failure.  I usually make goals and my goals for this year are more cooking, more blogging, more reading, more crocheting, teach myself to knit, and work on that household organizing that always seems to get away from me.   What are your goals for this year?

I decided to start the new Gooseberry Patch giveaway tomorrow instead of today since it’s a busy day.  We are taking down the few decorations I put up this year and watching football and basically sitting on our butts.

Last night, Mr. Meat Eater and I stayed home and grilled steaks and watched movies.  I made garlic mushroom steak which is one of my favorite recipes.  It’s super easy, can be used on any cut of steak, and is delicious!

I got this recipe off a now non-existent message board on AOL years ago.

Garlic Mushroom Steak

Steak:
1/4 cup steak sauce
1 small onion, chopped
1 tbsp brown sugar, packed (use more if you want it sweeter)
3 New York strip steaks (use your favorite cut)

Mushrooms:
2 (8 ounce) pkgs mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsps olive oil
2 tbsps soy sauce
2 tsps steak sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsps chopped fresh parsley

Steak: Mix the steak sauce, onion, and brown sugar in a ziplock bag, add the steaks, and smoosh it around (after closing the bag) to make sure all the steak is covered. Marinate at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. I usually marinate about 5-6 hours.

Mushrooms: Mix the sliced mushrooms with all the ingredients except the parsley in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350º for 10 minutes, uncover and stir, return to oven for another 8-10 minutes.  You can also put this all in some heavy-duty aluminum foil and toss on the grill with the steaks.

Remove the steaks from the marinade (throw away any leftover marinade) and grill to your desired degree of doneness.

Makes 3 servings.
