My favorite steak

When it comes to meat I am not as picky as I am with some other foods. I won't freak out if a steak is overcooked and somewhat dry, I will eat it just fine.BUT... my husband is not me. He must have his meat nice and juicy AND almost well-done, which is practically impossible.Therefore I am on constant lookout for a fool-proof juicy steak recipe that will make my hubby singing praises.Well, today was pretty pretty close, he gave two thumbs up!:)
Here is what I've done.

My favorite skirt steak recipe, not really a recipe, just 3 simple steps ;)


1)The day before I marinated a SKIRT STEAK in the mixture of following: cooking oil + soy sauce in equal parts, garlic, salt, pepper to taste.

2) Next day, for lunchtime, I just threw it onto the grill ( it is actually a panini maker, but it works great on chicken and steaks of reasonable thickness :) for around 5 min. ( note, I had the heat coming from both sides, if using regular grill or pan, flip to cook another side until desired doneness)
That's it!! REALLY!

3) After a few minutes rest, I sliced it and made a killer sandwich for my hubby, then nibbled on these super juicy pieces all afternoon. It was completely cooked just as we like it ( no pink) BUT the juiciness was so overwhelming, I couldn't get enough of it!

Samsa - crunchy deliciousness!

I grew up eating these delicious samsas. Its buttery-flaky-crunchy shell filled with juicy fragnant lamb meat & onions mixture... and the spices....oh, my mouth starts watering as I am writing this. Whether made by my mom or bought at the local bazaar, these yammy crunchy pockets have always warmed up my soul. And now thanks to step-by-step instructions from here I was able to make these all by myself and they came out GREAT! I like to eat them while they still very hot from the oven, but samsas keep pretty good for a few days ( cover with plastic wrap) and can be served room temperature.

Самса - хрустящие вкусняшки!

С детства любила эти вкусные самсышки! Что может быть вскуснее нежной хрустящей корочки с сочной душистой начинкой из свежего бараннего мяса, лука и прянностей?? Слюнки текут как только вспомню об этом! Вкусная самса, сделанная моей мамой или купленная в любимом местечке на базаре, поднимет настроение и согреет душу в холодный пасмурный день. Ну а теперь, благодаря пошаговым инструкциям отсюда, я попробовала приготовить их сама и они получились просто ОТЛИЧНО! Даже сама не ожидала! Самые вкусный момент для меня - это схватить горячую самсу прямо с листа и обжигая пальцы ( и иногда и язык ;) съесть не отходя от плиты! Самса отлично сохряняется несколько дней в закрытом полиэтиленовой плёнкой блюде, и хорошо съедается и при комнатной температуре!
