stir-fry veggie grillers

These meals were prepared with the 'veggie grillers' from Walmart, 23-oz. trays with coarsely-cut onion, bell peppers, zucchinis and mushrooms on a stick.

These are all favorite vegetables for us, and not having to buy everything separately and cutting it all up was a good argument for the higher price. However, I found that the onions and bell peppers wouldn't cook enough to my liking when on skewers, so I de-skewered them and stir-fried instead.

a. NY Strip steak with stir-fry veggie grillers

2020-07-31

NY Strip steak, T-bone and ribeye were not cuts I ever bought before the Covid-19 pandemic. They used to be double the price of a good chuck roast or top round London broil., but those cheaper cuts more than doubled in price at Peppers, while Walmart didn't sell them at all. Because Peppers didn't offer online ordering and curb-side pickup, I started buying at Walmart for safety reasons. Yeah, these cuts are tender enough as steaks, but I don't like that up to 1/3 of them is pure fat. :-(

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2-3 servings:

1 thick NY strip steak
1 23-oz. pckg. veggie grillers
olive oil
S&P
rice (7-grains-mix)

Cook rice according to instructions on the package.
Season rice and steak to taste.

Pic5-7: steak

Grill for 15-25 minutes @ 350 ºF. according to the thickness of the steak, until done to your preference.
Remove from the heat and rest 5 minutes before serving.

Pic8-10: stir-fried veggie grillers

Stir-fry / stew until done to your liking.
- I need to fully cook onions and bell peppers.
- That means I start stir-frying until the edges show some browning.
- Then I add 1-2 cups of water, reduce heat, cover and simmer 15-20 minutes until onions and bell peppers are fully cooked and sweet of taste.
Serve it all together. Enjoy.

b. T-bone steak with BBQ veggie grillers

2020-06-24

The very same vegetables as the recipe above (minus rice,) but with a sauce this time.
I served tem with T-bone steak this time, same oven-grilled as above, but shorter time because this steak was only half the thickness of the one above.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

1-1 1/2 lb. T-bone steak
1 23-oz. pckg. veggie grillers
BBQ- or other sauce of your choice
olive oil
S&P

Pic5: do this

Stir-fry / stew the vegetables until done to your liking.
- I need to fully cook onions and bell peppers.
- That means I start stir-frying until the edges show some browning.
- Then I add 1-2 cups of water, reduce heat, cover and simmer 15-20 minutes until onions and bell peppers are fully cooked and sweet of taste.
This time I added 3-4 tbsp. BBQ sauce to the vegetables for a different accent.
Oven-grill the steak for 10-15 minutes @ 350 ºF. or until done to your preference.
Serve and enjoy.
