KITTENCAL'S BEEF OR PORK MARINADE AND TENDERIZER

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine all ingredients except the meat; mix/whisk until very well combined.
• You may now transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag if desired or leave in a large bowl.
• Pierce the meat all over with a fork.
• Add the meat to the marinade then turn to coat.
• Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove meat and discard the marinade.
• Leave the beef or the pork sit out on the counter and bring almost room temperature, this will relax the meat fibers and make for a more tender juicy steak or cut of beef or pork (this is a very important step!).
• Grill or oven-broil to desired doneness.

KITTENCAL'S POT ROAST MARINADE AND TENDERIZER

Steps:

• Pierce meat with a fork all over.
• Sprinkle liberally with powdered tenderizer, then leave sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes in a large bowl.
• In the meantime, in a smaller bowl whisk together minced onion (or onion powder (if using) thyme, marjoram, red wine, wine vinegar, oil, lemon juice and minced garlic (if using) and black pepper.
• After the 30 minutes, pour the marinade over the roast in the bowl; rub in with hands to coat well.
• Place the roast in a large heavy-duty ziploc freezer bag.
• Pour the marinade from the bowl over the roast and close and seal bag.
• Turn the bag several times to coat.
• Place into a large bowl and refrigerate overnight (turning several times during refrigeration time).
• When ready to cook discard the marinade, and leave the roast out at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking (this is important, it relaxes the meat fibers which creates a more tender roast!).
• Season with salt and pepper, then cook as desired.

KATHY'S FILET MIGNON STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Brown the onion and mushrooms in 4 tablespoon of melted butter. Remove to a platter with the liquid. Slice the filets into 1 inch thick steaks and then slice against the grain into 1/4 inch strips.
• Dredge the strips in the 1/2 cup flour.
• Add the remainder of the butter to the skillet and pan fry the strips to rare to medium-rare doneness. Remove from skillet and place on a platter.
• Mix the bouillon, 2 tablespoons of flour and the 1/2 cup water together and add it with the reserved mushroom/onion mixture to the skillet. This will thicken quickly, remove from heat and stir in the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, Kitchen Bouquet and the heavy whipping cream.
• Return the filet strips to the skillet and continue heating until mixture is hot.
