, ,

Serves 4-6

  • 2 lbs. top sirloin, cut into
  • 2-inch cubes
  • 4 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
  • 2 red onions, cut into eighths

Toss beef cubes with olive oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle with ground cumin and mix well to coat. Let marinate at room temperature 45 minutes. Alternate beef cubes and red onion wedges onto grilling skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak 30 minutes prior to this step.) Brush prepared skewers with oil mixture left in bowl. Grill over hot coals, turning occasionally, until well browned and done, about 10-15 minutes.

Tirolean Cordon Bleu

, ,

Serves 4

  • 1 1/2 lbs top sirloin steak
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 1/4 tsp. each: marjoram, salt, and freshly ground pepper
  • 8 thin slices Black Forest ham
  • 6 oz Gruyere, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/4 cup beef stock

Cut meat into 4 serving pieces and make a pocket slit in each. Rub cut side of garlic over steaks; rub with the mixed spices. Insert a slice of ham and several slices of cheese into the pocket. Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat; brown the steaks nicely on the first side, turn and repeat on the second side. Place several slices of cheese atop the steaks, top with a slice of ham. Carefully flip the steaks and cook until ham is browned and cheese melted. Remove to warmed platter, ham side up, and tent with foil. Deglaze the pan with wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add beef stock and reduce by half. To serve, sprinkle steaks with parsley and spoon sauce over.
