From Jenna in NJ.

This recipe will make your friends think you get the food network and are an aspiring gourmet chef, even though you’re broke and don’t have cable. Also, its super tasty and is good to bring along to someone else’s BBQ, since it needs time to marinate anyway.

JENNA'S TASTY BBQ!

Ingredients:

1 - 2 lbs steak. This recipe works great with less expensive cuts of beef, so don’t stress over the money. Just look for something that isn’t too fatty in the middle. If its fatty on the edges, it’ll cook off. I usually spend like $3 on this.

1/4 cup Jamaican hot steak sauce, or use regular steak sauce combined with 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Directions:

Combine steak sauce, sugar and lime juice in a zipper top plastic bag. Place steak in plastic bag, close securely (without air inside) and mush it up to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 4 to 6 hours, turning occasionally. It’s a good idea to drop this sealed up bag into a bowl, just in case it leaks.

If you have a BBQ grill, remove steaks from marinade and place on grill over medium coals. Grill 7 to 10 minutes on each side, turning once. Once done, carve into thin slices against the grain of the meat--this is the trick to making cheap steaks taste awesome!

BROILER DIRECTIONS: If you don’t have a grill (or a yard) or are unwilling to spring for a George Forman, you can cook this up in your top or bottom broiler on low.

In the top broiler, cover the bottom wire rack in foil and then place the steak directly on the top oven rack. In this case, the steak will drip onto the foil below and you’ll only have to clean the top rack. Also, the steak will gave grill marks, which look nice and BBQ like.

In the bottom broiler, cook the steak by placing a cooling rack (like you use for cookies) on top of a foil covered cookie sheet. The steak will cook on the wire rack and drip into the cookie sheet. This will produce gill marks also.

The reason for the rack of the broiler or the cooling rack is to basically keep this steak from touching the pan directly so that it will cook evenly and not dry out.

This goes great with baked potato and any other BBQ side dishes.

This is John from Chandler, AZ. This is my recipe for rib sauce...Well, OK, its not MY recipe. I stole it off a dude on the Food Network, but it goes great on ribs!!

Bourbon Barbeque Sauce:

1/2 cup steak sauce
1/2 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon regular or grainy Dijon mustard
Chipotle Tobasco sauce (for a smokey taste, just add as much in as you like....if you like it hotter, put a whole bunch in!)

salt

Mix this all up until the sugar is disolved. This is a good amount for about 2lbs of ribs....

Hey there!

Well, I'm from New York in England, you know across the little puddle of
water? Anyway I found your site, loved the flash. And I thought I'd teach
you all how to feed yourself for £1 !! that's about $1.40 or something.

Anyway, this will keep you alive for a week, one small dollar for a weeks
worth of food! Impossible you say?

Go to a shop, buy some cheap sliced bread.
Buy tomato sauce
Cover each slice in tomato sauce and put two slices together. (repeat until
end of loaf)

There you go! Food for the week.

Hiya Todd! I have a terrific summer recipie for you. Super duper easy; my
stepdad (nickname Chuckles, a commentary on his flat affect), a PhD in
physics and not so good at real-life stuff, came up with this one and it
rocks.

Dr. Chuckles's Laugh-a-Minit Salad

Ingredients:

A couple of potatoes
Hunk o mozzarrella cheese
Few basil leaves
Fresh tomatoes
Salt
Pepper if you want it
Olive oil

How to do it:

1. Somehow, cook some potatoes. You can bake them and use them that way,
or boil red ones.

2. Slice potatoes up

3. Slice up the mozzaaareellllaaaa cheese

4. Slice up the lovely tomatoes.

5. Ok, so now you layer them: tomato, mozz, basil, potato, and so on. I
like to kind of do it in a ring shape.

6. Drizzle on the olive oil and salt and pepper it.

Yum!

Awesome with crusty bread on the side.

Also, not for nothing, but that was very thoughtful of you to go back to the
car lot and hook up the car guy, and the lady too. You're nice!
