Beef Stew

I got this recipe from my mom many years ago when I got married and it is one of our very favorites. It has a lot of red wine vinegar in it. In fact I think I put in more than the recipe calls for. If you aren't a fan of red wine vinegar then you will want to cut the amount down.

This recipe couldn't be easier to put together, requires a crock - pot and a few ingredients and you have a great dinner put together.

Start with the crock- pot, either line it with a slow-cooker liner (my favorite thing) or spray with a cooking spray.

Gather the following ingredients and add to the crock-pot in order.

2 lbs. stew meat
1 package of onion soup mix
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can of mushrooms (undrained)
1/2 red wine vinegar

Mix and set to cook on low for eight hours.

Near the end of the cooking time be sure to cook up your favorite noodles. We like the egg wide
noodles the best. Could be served over mashed potatoes.

Serve with bread and a salad and you have dinner.

Penne with Beef

This is a fabulous dish for summer. Doesn't take long to make and doesn't heat up the house. I got this recipe a year or two ago from Giada De Leurentis from the Food Network.

Ingredients:
Steak (strip is best, I use two)
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
Garlic - I use powder
3/4 cut olive oil and 3 tbls.
1 pound penne pasta
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbls. dijon mustard
salt for pasta water and steak
1/2 tsp pepper for dressing and some for steak
basil - to your liking
parsley - to your liking

Directions:
Season steak(s) with salt, pepper, italian seasoning and garlic powder. In a skillet, heat 3 tbls. olive oil over medium heat. Cook steaks about 7 minutes per side(like six minutes per side). Remove the meat from pan and let is rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak.

Cook pasta. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, mustard, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, herbs and 3/4 cup olive oil. In a large bowl toss the pasta with half of the dressing and the reserved water. Add the steak, more dressing and season with salt pepper.

This super easy and delicious. Give it a try.
