Valley Stir Fry ~ World of Warcraft

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon flour
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter
1 teaspoon ginger (I used powdered, if using minced use 1TBS)

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, water and flour. Set aside.

Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium high heat. Stir-fry ginger and garlic for 30 seconds.

Add the steak and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until evenly browned.

Add the vegetables and stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes.

Lower heat and simmer until the sauce is thick and smooth.

I love stir fry's, they are so versatile that you can substitute chicken for the beef and any kind of vegetables. 

The sauce is a must, this was my first time making it and everyone loved it.

Vegetable Soup ~ Skyrim

You will need:
(I forgot to add the bag of frozen veggies and the 2 cups of rice to the photo below. So sorry.)

2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 of a green pepper 
1 can black beans
1 c muchrooms
1 c baby carrots
6 cups beef, chicken or vegetable broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes with juice
2 c rice
1 (16 ounce) bag of frozen mixed veggies
salt and pepper to taste

Cut up the vegetables into bite size pieces.
I used a beef stock base. 
(I made a beef stew a few weeks ago and I saved and froze the broth that was leftover after everyone ate the beef, potatoes and vegetables. I am so glad I did, it saved me from buying or making more stock.)

The best thing about soup is you can put anything in it. You need a base broth of vegetable, chicken or beet stock then the rest is up to you.

I put everything in a crockpot and let it simmer all day. 

If you don't want to use a crock pot, here are directions for stovetop.
Add your choice of broth and bring to a boil.
Add carrots, celery, green peppers and beans.
Boil for 10 minutes, then add.
Mushrooms, tomatoes, bag of mixed vegetables and rice.
Boil for 10 more minutes until rice in tender.
Set to low heat until everything is soft.
Taste test to make sure everything is tender enough for you, be careful!

Yum!

Citrus Beef with Noodles ~ World of Warcraft Expansion Idea

So spicy, it was delicious. I think sprinkling the green onions on it would be an amazing addition to taste and visual appeal. I omitted them and afterwards wished I hadn't.

2 tbs lemon juice
2 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper


1 tbs olive oil
12 ounces boneless sirloin steak
Garnish with onions and lemon or lime wedges, if desired.

Cut into thin strips.

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. 

Add steak; cook until browned, stirring frequently. 

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk.

Remove from heat; drizzle evenly with ginger-lime mixture. 

Garnish with onions and lemon or lime wedges, if desired.

Yum!

Skyrim: Cooked Beef

My first Skyrim recipe!

You will need:

1 (16 ounce) jar Salsa (I used 2-8 ounce packets)
1/2 C Brown Sugar
1/4 C Honey
1 tsp Chili Sauce
1 large onion, sliced
1 (3 pound) Beef Roast

Stir the salsa, brown sugar, honey, chili sauce until incorporated.

Add the beef to the baking dish, trimming to fit, if needed.

Pour brown sugar, salsa and chili sauce mix over roast.

Add sliced onions. I added water a few times just to make sure it doesn't burn.

Cover and cook on Low for 3 to 5 hours at 300 degrees F (148 degrees C) or until the beef is fork-tender.

The last 30 minutes I sliced the roast up into thick slices & covered it with the coating.

A superb sweet and tangy marinade.

Yum!

Wampa Rump Roast

You will need:
1 - 3 lb Beef Chuck
Bag of Baby Carrots
2 Large Potatoes, cubed
2 C Beef Bouillon
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Doesn't that look great? I get all my meat from a local butcher shop, Strasburgh meats. I recommend them, over a grocery store or a Wal-Mart anytime.

I use bouillon cubes so I need to heat the water to dissolve them.

Put the roast in the center of the pan and pour the 2 cups of beef bouillon over it.  Cube the potatoes and place the carrots all around the beef.

Season with salt, pepper and dried onion flakes.

Bake at 350F (176 degrees C) for 2 hours. Check every 30 minutes and add water if needed to keep from scorching. Internal temperature should be 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

So good and so tender. Yum!
