THP Radio - What's For Dinner Contest Show

I can't wait to hear the recipes you two picked to try :wink: Fun!! Fun!!
 
Finally got a chance to listen to the show, great stuff guys!
 
I'm finally listening to this show after being on the road for over two weeks. After seeing and hearing you two at the Florida Outing festivities, you guys definitely don't need a script for these shows because this is EXACTLY how you are together. Freakin' hilarious!

Here are the finalists recipes:

Simple Steak Salad


Recipe:

5 oz. Baby Spinach
1 cup diced Mozzarella
1/4 cup Red Onion diced
1 cup chopped cucumber

Balsamic Vinaigrette (we just use a store bought)

The key to this recipe is the steak, you have to use a tri tip sirloin and you have to grill it. Season it simply with seasoning salt and pepper and let it come to room temperature before grilling. Use at least 5 oz. of steak per person and grill it to medium/medium rare depending on thickness.

Because the tri tip is a bit more marbled it almost makes you forget that you are having a spinach salad for dinner, it's one of our favorites I hope you like it.

Linguine with vegetables in a basil broth:


Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts

• Canned artichokes – I would use a can of them, but you can use less if you don’t like them as much as me.

• 2 cups of sliced Crimini mushrooms (you can buy them pre-sliced)

• 2 small roma tomatoes

• 1/2 cup frozen peas

• 1 clove of minced garlic (about ∏ tsp or less)

• 1/4 cup dry/semi dry white wine (Pinot Grigio is best and you can enjoy it with the dinner.)

• 1 can of chicken broth

• 2 tablespoons butter (real butter)

• Either fresh or dried basil, whichever is easier. 8 leaves if fresh, about 1/2 Tbsp if dried.

• 1 8oz box of Barilla linguine

• 2 Tbsp of olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste



Preparation:

• Drain the artichokes and quarter them if they are whole.

• If the mushrooms aren’t sliced, slice them.

• Dice the tomatoes and try to get as much of the seeds and guts out. You can use a small spoon for this.

• If you have fresh basil get about 8 leaves and slice them crossways about the thickness of a match.

• Mince the garlic if you need to.

• Cube the chicken breast about the same size as dice. Salt and pepper it lightly

• Clean up your chicken board and get everything together and ready to cook.

• Turn on your vent fan if you have one.


Directions:

• Get your water boiling and drop the pasta and stir.

• Have a big sauté pan heating up on medium.

• Right before you are ready, add the oil and turn it up to high for a minute or until the oil lightly smokes. You will probably leave it on high/medium high the rest of the way. You need to heat to brown the chicken.

• Add the chicken and then put the mushrooms on top of them. Let this sit for a minute or two.

• Once the chicken starts to brown on one side (you will start to smell it), stir and let it and the mushrooms get a bit browner.

• Add the artichokes, tomatoes and garlic, then cook another minute or less. Make sure to stir and don’t burn the garlic!

• Add the wine and stir the bottom of the pan to get all the little bits that are stuck. This is flavor country!

• Add about a 1-1/2 cups of the broth and let it come to a boil. You want to reduce (boil down) the broth by half. Will take a few minutes.

• Add the butter and basil and stir till melted. Turn off the heat right away. Salt and pepper to taste (seriously, taste the sauce first and then add more if you need it. Salt will really liven it up, but you don’t want too much).

• Drain the pasta, put it back in the pot and stir in the sauce.

• When on the plate, top with some parmesan cheese.

Pad Thai:


INGREDIENTS
1/2-16 oz box (8 oz) Thai Rice Noodles
4 tablespoons oil, divided (we use olive oil)
1-2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup coarsely chopped peanuts (we just just full un-salted peanuts)
1-3.25 oz packet A Taste of Thai Pad Thai Sauce
2 cups bean sprouts
Optional:
1/2 lb chopped chicken, pork or raw shrimp, deveined
4 scallions, chopped
1 Block Tofu

Garnish: chopped cilantro and lime wedges

DIRECTIONS
Soak Rice Noodles according to directions for stir-fry on box.
In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil.
Add egg(s) and scramble lightly, about 20 seconds. (May add optional scallions, tofu, chicken, pork or shrimp, stir-fry until cooked through.)
Add remaining oil and drained noodles. Stir-fry 4-7 minutes or until noodles are firm but tender.
Add peanuts and Pad Thai Sauce. Stir-fry 1 minute or until combined. Stir in bean sprouts. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.


Notes:
- We actually add about 3-4 TBSPs Peanut Butter to the Pad Thai, some hot sauce, and mix that all together. We like it more saucy.
- we add additional veggies - Green/Red Pepper etc.
- I usually add chicken to it, and we always add tofu. My wife is a vegetarian, so this one meal does us both, as I add the chicken to mine.
- to make it even healthier, you can use egg white instead of normal eggs.
