Tabasco Classic - Perfect Seared Steaks **** Tabasco Hot Barbecue Beef 4servings 4 New York Strip Or: 0 Rib Eye Steaks 2" Thick 2.66667 teaspoons Tabasco Pepper Sauce 0 Freshly Cracked Black Pepper 0 salt This is our favorite way to cook steaks outdoors on a charcoal grill, and it works well with hamburgers, too. Start with a good "steak fire" of white coals 3 to 4 inches below the grill. To test the fire, put the palm of your hand just above the grill. If you can keep it there only for as long as it takes to say "One thousand and one," the fire is ready. ~--------------------------------------------------------------------- ~-- Place the steaks on a cutting board and, with the back of a spoon, briskly rub about 1/3 teaspoon Tabasco sauce and some pepper into both sides of each steak. Grill the steaks over a hot fire for about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. To broil, preheat the broiler, place the seasoned steaks on an oiled broiler rack, and cook 6 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Add salt to taste.

Meatless Loaf Vegan Vegetarian 4servings 2 tablespoons Sunflower or other veg. oil 2 medium onions chopped 4.5 ounces TVP granules 1 cup Hot water or vegetable stock 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs 0.5 tablespoon Mixed herbs (such as parsley sage,rosemary and thyme) 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley 2 garlic cloves crushed 1 Egg (or egg replacer) (beat egg if using) 2 tablespoons soy sauce 0 Salt and pepper to taste SAUCE 32 ounces Canned chopped tomatoes 6 ounces tomato paste 0 Salt and pepper to taste Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, heat oil and saute onions until lightly browned. Add the TVP mince, stir and cook for two minutes. Pour the hot water or stock over the saute and simmer for four minutes. In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, herbs and garlic together with one cup cold water. Stir in the egg and leave to one side for ten minutes. Combine the cooked TVP mince with the breadcrumbs mixture, then add the soy sauce. Stir well and season to taste. Using your hands, shape the mixture into an oval mound and place it in the center of a large baking dish, leaving plenty of space all around for the tomato sauce to run. Heat the tomatoes, tomato paste and seasoning in a small saucepan, and pour over the loaf, then bake for one hour. Serves 6. JTK's notes: I usually add more herbs & chopped garlic, and saute chopped vegetables like celery, carrots, and/or mushrooms after onions are done but before adding TVP. Hot sauce is a good addition, too, or other flavored sauce like veg. Worcestershire. The egg replacer works fine --- not sure if it's even necessary. Also, I make the tomato sauce differently (sometimes I use canned/jar or homemade frozen sauce, and I prefer canned whole tomatoes, pureed, to prechopped ones), but it doesn't matter much. I make breadcrumbs from whatever bread is available, preferably wholewheat (lightly toasted for dryness) --- doesn't matter much either. Cracker crumbs would probably do as well, if you don't have bread around or a food processor/blender. I've made 1.5x recipe into a single loaf OK, but larger wouldn't work (would have to make separate loaves, if larger quantities are desired) makes 1 loaf, approx. 6x10" (fits comfortably into a 9x13" pan with a couple inches margin around for sauce --- see above).
