Meat Cuts Reference

The Langdale Sunday Beef Tri-Tip
From the kitchen at Spicewood

Ingredients:
3  lb Beef Tri - Tip
One Medium Yellow Onion
3 lbs of mushrooms
1 Quart of beef broth

Instructions:
1. Searing
Heat your grill to maximum temp with lid closed. Prepare Tri - Tip on a plate with only salt and Olive Oil,
unless your butcher pre-seasons yours for you, then no need.  Once the grill has reached max temp place cut on
grill for 1-1/2 - 2 minutes, no more.  Flip for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes keeping an eye on
the cut to make sure the drippings don't flame up too much.

2. Remove from grill and return to oven prep.

3. Place meat in a large baking pan, chop onion spread evenly,
add beef broth, mushrooms, salt.
Cover with lid or tin foil.
Place in oven at 300 for 1 hour then turn down to 200 for 1.5 hours
Remember, this cut is similar to a top quality steak and is much better when it is prepared rare to medium rare, so do not over cook it.

Sparkys Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
Approximately 5 pounds of red potatoes
One stick of butter
3 cups of sour cream
1/4 cup of minced Garlic

Instructions for Mashed Potatoes:
Peel, chop, clean, boil and then mash potatoes.
( Tip: We like the red potato skins on the potatoes and so do most of our kids, so I don't usually peel the potatoes )
In a mixing bowl combine the butter, sour cream and minced garlic,
and then add the cooked potatoes and mix thoroughly.

Instructions for Beef Gravy:
Use drippings from the roast to mix together with 
flour and milk for beef gravy.
Serve together with your choice of vegetable and dinner rolls.

( Looks like we had ham that day, it must have been Easter Sunday.  I do love ham gravy, but ham on Sundays is unusual for us. )
