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.

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.

Crock Pot Chicken

Crock Pot Chicken
 
Recipe Type: Dinner, Main, Poultry, Crock Pot
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 5 mins

Serves: 4
I love my Crock Pot. I love chicken from Burbank’s Handy Market. Together, they make a delicious and easy dinner… Really, prep time is about 5 minutes.
Ingredients
  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1t paprika
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1t olive oil
  • 1C water
  • 1 1/2 t honey
Instructions
  1. Remove giblets and neck from chicken, if they’re still in there.
  2. Sprinkle salt, pepper and paprika in bottom of Crock Pot. Also drizzle with honey. Pour water in. Place chicken in Crock Pot. Drizzle top with oil and honey. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 5-6 hours (until breast meat registers 180F with a meat thermometer).
  4. After cooking in the Crock Pot, it’s yummy crisped in the oven for 30 minutes, uncovered, at 375F, to brown the skin. Or, just serve it as is.
 
Notes

It’s great with Lemon Spinach Risotto! Actually, it’s really good with most anything.
You can save the bones and any skin and make stock the next day too!
