Grilled Pork Steak & Grilled Onions

Okay this is a real summertime favorite of mine. It's simple, easy, economical with very little ingredients, and its dynamite! If you don't have a grill, or it happens to be winter, you can do this in a saute pan. It works just as well.



Here we go.....


Pork Steaks with Gilled Onions

 For the Marinade:

¼             cup         Extra Virgin Olive Oi

1              tsp.        Salt

½             tsp.        Black Pepper

½             tsp.        Granulated Garlic

1              tsp.        Chopped Fresh Garlic

1 ½         tsp.        Dried Oregano
The juice of 2 lemons

Mix the marinade in a bowl and pour it over the pork steaks. This should be enough for 4 steaks. Allow them to marinade at least a couple of hours, overnight is even better.

Meanwhile, slice 4 onions. Toss them in a bowl with a couple tablespoons of Olive Oil, a little salt, and a pinch of sugar. Wrap them in a piece of foil and place the foil package DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE HOT COALS IN THE GRILL. This will allow them to caramelize nicely.

Grill the Pork Steaks over an open flame to an internal temperature of 155° (or until they’re “done”). Serve them with a lemon wedge.

Buon Appetito!

Pasta e Piselli

Well, this is more of a tip than a recipe but here goes....

As you're boiling your pasta, add 2 cups of frozen peas to the water 5 minutes before your pasta is done. But, make sure that your water is boiling fiercely or the peas will inhibit the water from coming back to a boil. Then, mix some sauce (not too much!!) with the pasta after you drained it, add a couple spoons of grated cheese, and you have perfect Pasta e Piselli!

Buon Appetito!
