GARLIC STEAK AND POTATO FOIL PACKS

INGREDIENTS

2-2½ pounds top sirloin steak, trimmed of fat and cut into 2½-inch pieces
1 pound baby yellow potatoes. quartered (or halved if they are already less than 1 inch in size)
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste (I use about 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Fresh parsley or thyme for garnishing

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl combine steak, potatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic, and seasonings and toss to combine.
Divide steak and potatoes between four 12x12 inch sheets of foil, then wrap the foil tightly around the contents to form your foil packs.

Grill over high heat for about 10 minutes on each side or until steak and potatoes are cooked through

OR

bake at 425 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until cooked through to desired doneness.

**If you prefer a char on your steak, you can open up the packets at the end and cook for a couple minutes directly on the grill, or for baking you can switch oven to broil for a few minutes (with packets opened).

Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley and serve immediately.

Churoos

Ingredients

4 cups vegetable or canola oil for frying
1 cup water
1//2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot to between 350 and 375 degrees.
Meanwhile, make the dough by heating water, butter, vanilla, and salt in a large saucepan. Once the butter is completely melted and the mixture begins to simmer, remove from heat and stir in the flour with a wooden spoon.
Add in the eggs one at a time, stirring and mashing the dough together until the egg is fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag fitted with a large star-shaped tip.
Working in batches of 3 to 5, pipe the dough directly into the hot oil using scissors to trim to the desired length.
Cook until dough puffs and turns golden brown, turning halfway through so all sides evenly cook. This should just take 2 to 4 minutes total.
Carefully remove churro from oil using tongs and place on a paper towel-covered plate to drain.
Once the churros have cooled enough to handle, put the sugar and cinnamon into a resealable plastic bag. Put the churros in one or two at a time and gently shake until churro is coated.

Yogurt 4 table spoons (tbs)
Salt 2 tbs
Red chili powder 1 tbs
Black pepper powder 1 tea spoon (tsp)

Well mix everything and apply this mixture on chicken. Use fingers to push it inside the roasting cuts. Refrigerate for few hours. Now ready to cook.

Gently wipe chicken with hands to remove access spice mixture and save it for next stage. 

Now heat up fair amount of oil and fry the chicken (2-3 minutes if whole or 1 minute if quarters). Let it rest for 5 minutes and apply spice mixture we saved before frying.

Now place chicken in the steamer (any steamer is good). Cover the pot and put on full flame for 5 minutes then turn flame medium low and let it steam for at least one hour. More is better.

Frying chicken in beginning keeps it intact as one piece and it comes out very moist and tender.
