Goulash is a Hungarian stew featuring beef, onions, carrots, celery, bell pepper, potatoes and lots of paprika. I love this twist on beef stew as it is a bit stronger in flavor and it has a bit of acidity to it. Use Hungarian sweet paprika for this dish and you need 1/2 cup of it,ContinueContinue reading “Goulash”

Steak frites is a simple dish originating from France and Belgium, and it is basically just steak and French fries. 🙂 Since it is so simple, you want a really good steak and really good fries.

Oven Braised Brisket with Gravy
Usually when you think of brisket in the south, you think of BBQ. I love bbq brisket, but this oven braised brisket with gravy is also one of my favorite ways to eat brisket.

Flank Steak with Avocado Pesto and Charred Corn Relish
My family loves steak, and I am not really the biggest steak fan to tell the truth. I do think a really well prepared steak can be delicious, but I don’t get that excited over it. 🙂 As far as steak recipes go though, this one had a lot for me to enjoy. I haveContinueContinue reading “Flank Steak with Avocado Pesto and Charred Corn Relish”

It’s a hearty and flavorful stew made with beef, onions, beer, and spices, typically served with fries or crusty bread for dipping. We chose to eat with fries. 🙂 TheContinueContinue reading “Carbonnade Flamande”
Loaded Mashed Potato Meatloaf Pie
Loaded mashed potato meatloaf pie is a meatloaf take on shepherd’s pie with a loaded potato topping. The meatloaf recipe was interesting and had a few things I don’t normally add, but really loved. The mashed potato topping was exactly what you’d want from a loaded potato (although sadly the bacon I got from theContinueContinue reading “Loaded Mashed Potato Meatloaf Pie”
