Thoughts On Chinese Cabbage Slaw:

While this Chinese Cabbage Slaw recipe might be considered an Asian dish, I decided to file it under the "Salads & Slaws" category. I have also added the label "Asian" to make it easier to find in the search here on this blog. This recipe is a great Asian salad recipe. The Chow Mein noodles and almonds give the salad a little crunch to it. You may like the texture and the flavor of the red wine vinegar is sweetened with sugar. If you haven't tried it, and you like Asian salads, I would think you'll like it. This slaw will complement any Asian main dish.

More Information For You:

The term "Asian Salad" was invented by Americans. It is basically any mixture of Asian food ingredients. Many people love Asian salads and I have met a few people who don't like these salads. It is mostly the texture that some people do not like. There are also people who think that something pickled is what makes an Asian salad. Visit Cut Fruit Collective's blog to read their article called The Origins of "Asian" Salad to learn more interesting facts and opinions.

A Few Questions For You:

Did you notice my last recipe? If you missed it, it is called Daydream Pie Recipe and if you are looking for a great dessert, this is it! It is so simple and sweet. Take a look at the recipe and share your comments with me.

My Thoughts For Today:

I made a happy mistake!

I made a small purchase on Amazon and was expecting it in the mail for my wife. I noticed an Amazon package had arrived and I grabbed it without thinking and opened it. I thought it was what I had ordered. The moment I placed my hand in the package and felt the product I knew it wasn't what I ordered. In a flash of a second, I thought my wife must have ordered some sort of makeup product. I pulled it out and it was not makeup. I immediately looked at the address on the package and saw it had my wife's name on it. We order products separately and I knew I hadn't ordered it. It was LOS POLLOS HERMANOS SOUTHWEST chicken seasoning. My birthday is at the beginning of June and I concluded she bought me this seasoning for my birthday since it is not something she would normally purchase. I had made a mistake. It was a happy mistake because I knew she bought it for me. I texted her and apologized. She thought it was funny. I told her I would pay better attention to the labels on Amazon packages in the future.

If you don't know about LOS POLLOS HERMANOS it is a fictional restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The chicken restaurant is on an AMC show called Breaking Bad. It is one of my favorite series. We visited locations from the series while on vacation passing through. It was a great experience. I do have some videos I can share of our travels. Let me know if you would like to see them and I will add them here.

Keep on cooking!

Dutch Oven Barbeque Beef Recipe - (Main Dishes, Beef)

Ingredients:

1 rump roast (3-4 pounds)
1 onion (medium, sliced)
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or to your taste)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 bottle catsup (14 ounces)
1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
Hamburger buns

Directions:

Place the rump roast in the Dutch oven. Combine the remaining ingredients, except the hamburger buns, and pour it over the rump roast. Cover the Dutch oven and bake at 250 degrees for 3 1/2-4 hours or until the meat is tender. Cool the meat slightly, cut into thin slices, and serve on hamburger buns.

Thoughts On Dutch Oven Barbecue Beef:

Dutch ovens are great to bake and cook with. This recipe cooks the rump roast slowly and seals in the juices along with a great aroma because of the special barbecue sauce mix. I love barbecue beef any time of the year. You can make this recipe all year round because it is baked in the oven. If you have a grill with a good thermostat that will work great for outdoor cooking. This recipe can be served with potato salad or baked beans. In the Southern parts of the United States coleslaw is served on top of the barbecue sandwich. I first learned about coleslaw in barbecue in West Tennessee. It actually tastes great!

Interesting Information For You:

The Dutch oven comes from the Netherlands. Cast iron Dutch ovens were created by Abraham Darby. If you are an outdoors person you can use a Dutch oven over a campfire. There are so many different foods that can be cooked with a Dutch oven. Dutch ovens are even commonly used in South Africa and other countries. You can visit the Wasserstrom blog to learn the history of the Dutch oven, more about its origin, all the countries where it is used, the many uses, and even how to care for your Dutch oven. You will also learn how to shop for a Dutch oven that is perfect for you.

Some Questions For You Today:

Do you own a Dutch oven? If you don't own one, maybe you have a friend who would let you borrow theirs until you purchase one. You will need one for this recipe. Have you ever eaten food cooked in a Dutch oven? Please share your experience with me. Did you see my last recipe that was posted yesterday? If you missed it, it is called Kahlua Cake Recipe and I think you will like it. Check it out!

My Thoughts For Today:

Read on to see my secret seasoning recipe for grilled pork steak.

I love cooking out on the charcoal grill. I know propane is quicker but I love the charcoal flavor that gets into the meat. I bought pork steak and seasoned it my special way. I am glad to share what I use here. In past posts, I have mentioned how much I like Tony Cachere's Creole seasoning. That's my secret for pork steak. I begin by sprinkling black pepper on my steaks and then follow up with Tony Cachere's Creole seasoning. I rub it in the meat really well and I carefully season the whole meat. Not too much but completely seasoned. My pork steak has a spicy taste to it so if you have delicate taste buds you might want to use less. You just have to experiment.

The beans, coleslaw, macaroni salad, and potato salad were all store-bought. It is the holiday weekend Memorial Day on Monday so I am sure we will eat more food like this before going back to work.

Keep on cooking!

My Thoughts For Today:

Weber Grill

Pork Steaks

I feel I am a little late in getting the grill out and cooking great-tasting meats but I had a craving to make the time. I wanted to cook pork steaks. To me, the taste of charcoal-grilled pork steak is very nostalgic. I have great memories of my family cooking pork steaks. It was a great summertime for the family. The cookout would usually include canned pork and beans, BBQ chips, potato salad along green beans.

I have mentioned in previous posts I love using Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning and I use that seasoning on my steaks and black pepper as well. The taste is terrific and I would suggest you try it. You will want to lightly sprinkle the creole seasoning as it can be very salty. The combination is wonderful.

As always, Keep on cooking!
