Written by , Posted in Beef, Dinner, Leftovers, Low Carb, Main Dishes, Meat

Rosemary Butter Pan Seared Tri Tip
Recipe Type: Main, Leftovers, Beef
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Total time: 15 mins
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 2 pieces of leftover tri tip (I originally cooked mine in the Crock Pot)
  • 1 T butter
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1/2 C pan drippings (from cooking the tri tip originally)
  • 1 T olive oil
Instructions
  1. In a Cast Iron skillet, melt butter, add rosemary and oil. Add tri tip.
  2. Spoon butter mixture over tri tip for about 30 seconds (the amount of time doesn’t have to be precise).
  3. Cover and cook, over med-low heat, for about 10 minutes (my tri tip had been frozen, and was still quite cold – from the fridge might require less time).
  4. Flip, add drippings and cook another 10 minutes, or until it’s 165F.
  5. Spoon butter mixture over tri tip for 30 seconds or so.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
Notes

We ate this with leftover polenta and Steamed Honey Carrots.

“Tasca Cacciatore” (Pocket Cacciatore)
Recipe Type: Leftovers, Main, Poultry

Prep time: 10 mins

I had a contest because I needed a name for this recipe. The winner was Angie. She won a free menu. Thanks for the clever name, Angie!
Ingredients
  • 8 swiss chard* leaves, stems removed (I didn’t cook them first, but you could steam them to make them easier to work with)
  • 2 small yellow squash**, chopped
  • 1/4 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 C daikon radish, chopped
  • 2 small carrots, chopped
  • 1 C cooked chicken, in small/medium chunks
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1/4 to 1/2 C spaghetti sauce (I used homemade, leftover from a few weeks ago, that I froze)
  • 1 C cooked quinoa (leftovers that I froze)
  • 1 1/2 C chicken stock (I used homemade, that I froze, from a chicken we had a few weeks ago)
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 1/4 t smoky paprika (my new favorite seasoning)
  • salt and pepper
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • Parmesan cheese, for topping
  • You could also use Kale, or another large green
  • You can substitute for other veggies – this is a great way to clean out the vegetable drawer!
Instructions
  1. Lay 4 chard leaves on a plate so that they overlap and form a + sign (I hope this makes sense). Sprinkle with seasonings and oil. Pile 1/2 C chicken, half the garlic and onion in the center. Fold the leaves in, making a wrap/roll. Repeat with the second set of 4 leaves and remaining garlic and onion.
  2. In a greased loaf pan (I used a Corningware), pour stock, and mix in quinoa and spaghetti sauce.
  3. Place chard rolls in pan, on top of quinoa mixture.
  4. Place veggies around rolls (not on top, because they might burn). Drizzle rolls with olive oil.
  5. Bake at 375F for about an hour, or until the internal temperature of the roll comes to 165F.
  6. Top with Parmesan cheese. We had it with garlic bread and red wine.

This recipe is not mine. It comes from His Hill, and Sheila Stachofsky. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods, so I have to share. Thanks, Sheila!

  • 1 package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 can Ranch Style Beans
Instructions
  1. Brown meat with onions, and drain the grease off.
  2. Add all together and simmer for at least 15 minutes, until thoroughly heated.
  3. Serve over Fritos or tortilla chips, with sour cream, jalapeños and grated cheddar cheese on the side. Also very tasty with Ranch dressing over the top.
