So, the other night for the first time I grilled steaks on my new cast iron griddle.  Amazing.  Now I’ll share my made-up recipe with you

 

Ssvaklor Grilled Steak

2 – 4 oz filets

seasoned cast iron grill for stovetop

2 tbs garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp carne asada seasoning

Directions:

Pre-heat your cast iron grill in a 500 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until it is extremely hot throughout.  Place back on the stovetop and put the burner on the highest heat setting you have.  Mix together all seasonings in a bowl. While the pan is heating make sure the steaks have had a chance to come to room temperature.  lightly oil both sides of the steaks and then gently pat on the seasonings.  Once the grill is sizzling take the steaks and place them along the lines.  Do not touch the steaks for at least two minutes.  After 2 minutes rotate the steaks on the grill lines so you get the nice grid pattern.  Grill for another 4 minutes before flipping.  Repeat the process on the other side of the steak.  Once both sides have been grilled for 6 minutes each side immediately return grill with steaks to the oven set at 400 for 5-6 minutes for a medium steak or 8-10 minutes for a well done steak.  Pull grill out of oven and let the steaks rest for 2-5 minutes before serving.

 

Petal Puffy Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

• 1 cup butter-flavored shortening
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 1/4 cups cake flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Hardware:

• Ice cream scooper (#20 disher, to be exact)
• Parchment paper
• Baking sheets
• Mixer

Directions:

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the shortening, sugar, and brown sugar in the mixer’s work bowl, and cream until light and fluffy. In the meantime, sift together the cake flour, salt, and baking powder and set aside.

Add the eggs 1 at a time to the creamed mixture. Then add vanilla. Increase the speed until thoroughly incorporated.

With the mixer set to low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the shortening and combine well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough. Scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 per sheet. Bake for 13 minutes or until golden brown and puffy, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool and store in an airtight-container.
