Homemade Tomato Sauce over Ravioli and Grilled Chicken


I put olive oil a whole onion sliced. Caramelized it first. Then added salt and pepper. Added some tomato paste like 1 Tbsp. then I cut up 18 tomatoes into chunks and let it cook down for an hour. Then I added some Italian seasoning and some more salt. Stirred in some cream. And mozzarella shredded cheese towards the end.

Homemade Philly Cheese Steak


You will need: thinly sliced beef strips Adams Steak seasoning (spice aisle, in yellow bottle) Two large yellow onions sliced thinly Two green and two red bell peppers A 4oz can of pickled jalapeños A pack of button mushrooms sliced Provolone cheese slices Hoagie rolls from the bakery Mayo or spicy mayo Salt and pepper Butter and canola oil Ok your first step is to add the thinly sliced onions into a pot with a Tbsp of butter and oil each, add salt and pepper and sauté the onions over medium heat. You want to try to make them translucent and transform the juices into sugar. (this will take about 20-25 mins) Next grab your sliced steak and rub Adams steak seasoning on both sides. Be careful not to over do it because the seasoning contains salt. Then take the onions out of the sauté pan and plan in a bowl. In the same sauté pan, add the bell peppers and jalapeños (with the can juices) with a pinch of salt with a dash of canola oil. Stir and sauté for about 10 mins over medium heat. While that's happening, grab your plates and hoagie rolls and slice them in half and apply your choice of Mayo on both sides. Then add the provolone cheese slices on the top half of the roll. Turn your grill on (I have an electric grill) on about 375 degrees and let it warm up for the steak. Ok now add your mushrooms to your bell pepper mixture in the sauté pan. Stir and let the mushrooms absorb all the juices from the bell peppers. After about five mins, add in your onions and all of its juices. Stir all together and put on low heat. (be sure this does not burn). Finally, grab your steaks and cook each side for about a minute on the grill. I sprinkle some consolation oil on both sides before throwing them on the grill. Once the steaks are cooked on both sides, place them on a cutting board to rest. Do not cut them into bite size pieces until they have rested for at least 3-4 mins. Once rested, grab your butcher knife and chop chop chop. Place the steak on the bottom half of the hoagie roll and then top with the onion and bell pepper mixture. I like to serve these with seasoned waffle fries =)
