Welcome to my BLOG and THANK YOU for popping by!  I would absolutely LOVE if you became a 'follower' by clicking in the left hand side bar and SUBSCRIBED to email updates too!

So the sun was finally shining and mood's were lifted around here in the Pacific Northwest...it's officially GRILLIN' season!  And with Memorial Day weekend approaching....HERE is a GREAT recipe for you to try out!

Prep Time:  15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 6

1 - pound of medium sized precooked, peeled and detailed shrimp

1 - pound of lean cut sirloin steaks (The least amount of marbling visible, means the leaner it is)

1 - lime (for juice and shredded lime peel)

1 - canned jalapeno, finely minced

4 - tablespoons of garlic, minced (WE LOVE GARLIC)

4 - tablespoons of soy sauce

2 - tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

2 - teaspoons chili powder

1/2 - teaspoon of cayeene

1/4 - cup cilantro, roughly chopped

3 - tablespoons honey

Start soaking your skewers about an hour before you plan to put meat on the grill.  (So they don't catch fire as I can assure you I HAVE DONE BEFORE!!)

Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat around 350 degrees.

Cube up your steak into large bite size pieces.  (not too small or they will fall off the skewers)

  Now start chopping up your ingredients and add them ALL to one bowl except the meat....and whisk...

I 'zest' the entire peel of the entire lime AND squeeze ALL the juice I can get out of the lime once I'm done...ALL into your mixing bowl.

NOW...spread half of your Chile-Lime mixture into the steak bowl...and half into your shrimp bowl.  Toss the meat to coat evenly. 

Next --- we start to skewer them!  I use TWO skewers --- that way they don't fall off as easy while they cook and they ARE SO MUCH EASIER TO FLIP! 

And....READY, SET, GRILL!  Or in my house....hand them to my hubba hubba and ask him to 'do his thing'!!!

It should take approximately 1-2 min per side for the shrimp and 2-3 min per side for the steak depending on how thick your pieces are.

AND....DRUM ROLL PLEASE!  TASTY DELIGHTFUL HEALTHY GOODNESS!

IF you like steak and shrimp....YOU WILL LOVE THIS!

GRILLED PEPPERCORN FLANK STEAK!

 
Nutritional Info Per Serving:  ONLY ABOUT 250 CALORIES!!!
Preparation Time: About 5 minutes
Cook Time:  About 15 minutes on the grill
Number of Servings: 4
                                                                                     

1 -  1 pound Flank Steak
4 -  tablespoons Spicy Brown Mustard
1  - Black Peppercorn Marinade Packet
Pam Cooking Spray

Preheat grill to High Heat

Spread 2 tablespoons of your Spicy Brown Mustard on each side of your flank steak.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of your Black Peppercorn Marinade Packet evenly on each side of your flank steak and massage into the mustard coating. 

Note:  I buy these packets and then save the leftovers for another recipe.  Use these empty Spice Jars to save it in your spice cabinet!  Like mine here....

Place your marinated steak directly on the hot grill just long enough to make seer marks and then flip.  Once you have seer marks on both sides, lower heat to medium heat and grill until desired temperature.  

We like a medium steak without any blood but showing some pink.

Whaaaaa.....Laaaaa!  Once again you have achieved GREATNESS in the kitchen!  Toss together a quick salad and you have one healthy meal for your family!  ENJOY!

THANK YOU THANK YOU  for STOPPING by my blog.    I would LOOOOVE to hear your comments and all about how YOUR cooking adventures went.

How did yours turn out??
