Recipes Cookbook - Skirt Steak Orzo Pasta Skillet

Skirt Steak Orzo Pasta Skillet | #Blueapronrecipes #Hellofreshrecipesmeals #Wholefoodrecipes #Hellofreshrecipes #Healthycasserolerecipes #Cookingrecipes #Parmesanbasilorzo #Orzosidedish #Chickenorzorecipes #Cookingrecipes #Dinnerrecipes #Pastarecipes

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces orzo pasta about 1 1/3 cup
  • 15 ounce can tomato sauce or puree
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 large red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • fresh chopped chives for garnish
  • For marinating the steak:
  • 12 ounces skirt steak
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Add all marinade ingredients to a ziploc bag. Toss to coat the steak. Marinate in the refrigerator until ready to cook, at least 1 hour.
  2. Heat an oiled skillet over medium to medium-high heat for a few minutes. Add marinated steak. Cook for 3 minutes, flip the steak, and cook another 3 minutes. Turn the heat to low and and let cook for another 10 minutes or until desired doneness. Transfer to a plate and cut into slices.
  3. Heat the same skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic, cooking until the vegetables soften, a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add orzo, tomato sauce, chicken broth, basil, and oregano. Stir. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then gradually lower heat down to medium-low to maintain the simmer. Let simmer until the orzo is cooked and the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently so the orzo does not stick to the pan.
  5. Remove pan from heat. Add salt to taste, if necessary. Divide orzo into serving bowls, top with skirt steak, and garnish with chives.

Recipes Cookbook - Low-Carb Deconstructed Pizza Casserole

Low-Carb Deconstructed Pizza Casserole |#Nocarbdiets #Ketodietrecipes #Lowcarbeating #Ketogenicrecipes #Ketorecipeseasy #Lowcarbketo #Ketodinnerrecipes #Ketosnacks #Ketodietforbeginnersmealplan #Ketozucchinifries #Lowcarbrecipes #Ketobreakfast

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes (do not use petite dice)
  • 5 links (19.5 oz.) uncooked turkey or pork Italian sausage
  • 2 tsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste (I didn’t use much salt.)
  • 8-12 oz. fresh mushrooms, washed and cut into thick slices (I used brown Cremini mushrooms.)
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 15 slices pepperoni, cut in half (I used regular pepperoni, but you can use turkey pepperoni if you prefer)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
  2. Spray an 8 inch x 11 inch glass casserole dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.
  3. Pour the diced tomatoes into a colander placed in the sink and rinse with cold water. Let tomatoes drain a minute or two, then spread them out on paper towels to dry (or blot dry with another paper towel on top.)
  4. While tomatoes dry, heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan, squeeze the sausage out of the casing, and cook sausage over medium-high heat until it’s nicely browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. (I use an old-fashioned potato masher (affiliate link) to break the sausage apart.)
  5. While sausage cooks, wash mushrooms, pat dry, and slice into thick slices.
  6. When the sausage is done make a layer of sausage in the bottom of the casserole dish and top with the drained tomatoes, spreading them out over the top of the sausage.
  7. Season with dried oregano, salt, and fresh-ground black pepper. (I didn’t use much salt.)
  8. Rinse out the pan if needed, then heat the other 2 tsp. of olive oil over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot add the mushrooms and cook, stirring a few times, until all the liquid is released and the mushrooms are starting to brown.
  9. Layer the mushrooms over the sausage-tomato mixture.
  10. Cut pepperoni in half.
  11. Sprinkle the grated Mozzarella over the top of the casserole and lay the pepperoni pieces on top of the cheese, spacing them evenly so the whole top is covered with pepperoni.
  12. Bake about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. Serve hot.
