Asian Barbecue–Style Steaks and Onions
Ingredients
- 2 large red onions
- ¼ cup molasses
- ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chipotle (or chili) powder
- Large zip-top bag
- 1 ½ lb boneless grilling steaks (such as ribeye, New York strip, or sirloin)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Steps
- Cut onions into 1-inch-thick slices. Combine molasses, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and chipotle powder; whisk until blended. Reserve one-half marinade; place remaining half in bag. Add steaks and onions to bag (wash hands). Seal bag and turn to coat; let stand 20 minutes (or chill overnight) to marinate.
- Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Remove steaks and onions from bag (discard marinade) and sprinkle with salt. Grill 3–4 minutes on each side until onions are tender and grill-marked and steaks are 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Remove from grill and let steaks stand 5–10 minutes to rest; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
- Cut onions into bite-size pieces; toss with reserved marinade. Slice steaks; serve topped with onions.
PB&J Cookie Pizza
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 (16 oz) package pull-apart refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
- ⅔ cup mixed berry preserves (or jam)
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries (such as blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat pizza pan (or baking sheet) with spray. Place cookie dough on pizza pan (as packaged), then flatten dough (using fingers) into single ½-inch-thick round cookie.
- Bake cookie 14–16 minutes until edges are crisp and center is set. Let stand 5 minutes to cool.
- Spread preserves in even layer over cookie, leaving ½-inch border, then sprinkle evenly with berries. Place peanut butter in microwave-safe bowl; microwave on HIGH 30 seconds or until runny. Drizzle peanut butter over berries, then let stand to cool completely before transferring cookie carefully from pan to cutting board (using 2 spatulas). Slice and serve. (Makes 12 servings.)
Serving Suggestions
- Complete your meal with fresh salad blend, macaroni salad, and Bakery potato rolls.
- Don't cook the steaks on high heat, or the sugars in the marinade may burn instead of caramelizing on the steak if you do.
Asian Barbecue–Style Steaks and Onions
The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking steak, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.
