Guy Like It – Barbecued Beef

Michele Pallas shares, “This recipe got its name from my grandmother Jo.  She wrote it down on an index card and included it in a recipe book my mother gave me when I got married.  She wrote on top, “GUY LIKE IT,” and we have called it that ever since!”

 

“Guy Like It” Barbecued Beef Recipe

 

“Guy Like It” Barbecued Beef

1 ½ lbs. beef (any kind of less expensive steak like round works), thinly sliced

1 onion, sliced

1 clove garlic or ¼ tsp. minced garlic

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1/3 cup ketchup

2 Tbsp. molasses

1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp. REGULAR MUSTARD POWDER

½ tsp. medium “HOT” chili powder

 

Place the beef slices in a slow cooker on low or in a covered pan in a preheated 275 F. oven.  In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix well.

Pour over the beef.  Cook until the beef is tender, 4-6 hours.  The steak will be very tender but the same size as when you put it in, there is very little shrinkage.  Serve on rolls or over rice or egg noodles.

6-8 serving

When I took these savory, slow-cooked appetizers to work, they were gone before I even got a bite!  Spicy ketchup, vinegar, molasses and honey blend together in a tangy sauce that makes the wings lip-smacking good.

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp. onion powder

½ tsp. chili powder

½ to 1 tsp. liquid smoke, optional

 

Preheat oven to 375 F.  Using a sharp knife, cut through the two wing joints; discard wing tips.  Arrange remaining wing pieces in two greased 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan.  Bake 30 minutes; drain.  Turn wings; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until juices run clear.

I got this grilled chicken recipe from a friend while living in Hawaii.  It sizzles with the flavors of brown sugar, ginger and soy sauce.  Huli means “TURN” in Hawaiian.

                Sharon Boling                                                                   Coronado, California

 

Grilled Huli Huli Chicken Recipe

Grilled Huli Huli Chicken

1 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup ketchup

¾ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

1/3 cup sherry or chicken broth

2 ½ tsp. minced fresh gingerroot

1 ½ tsp. minced garlic

24 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 5 lbs.)

 

In a small bowl, mix the first six (6) ingredients.  Reserve 1 1/3 cups for basting; cover and refrigerate.  Divide remaining marinade between two large resealable plastic bags.  Add 12 chicken thighs to each; seal bags and turn to coat.  Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

Drain and discard marinade from chicken.  Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.

Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until no longer pink; baste occasionally with reserved marinade during the last 5 minutes.          12 servings
