Beef BBQ

Okay, I’ll admit it, I am a bbq junky! I love bbq anything! I have recently taken to making up my own bbq sauces when I’m cooking because we don’t care for the store bought organic varieties much.  Hope you enjoy this one, I know I did.

Beef BBQ

  • 2 lbs stewing beef (I use grass fed pastured beef)
  • 3-4 c chicken broth (I use organic free-range)
  • seasonings for cooking beef: garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cumin, turmeric, dry mustard, chili powder
  • seasonings for bbq sauce: garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, turmeric, chili powder
  • ketchup
  • honey
  • liquid smoke

Slow cook beef in chicken broth and seasonings for cooking beef on low for 4-6 hours or until fully cooked but tender and juicy.  Drain meat and pull apart into shreds.  For the sauce, I mixed ketchup honey and seasonings for bbq sauce with a few drops of liquid  smoke, I am sorry I don’t have more accurate measurements, I have a bad habit of dash it, mix it, taste kind of cooking.

Salmon Patties

I am not a huge fish fan, BUT I will eat tuna and sometimes salmon.  This salmon patty recipe is one of my favorite ones so far.

      Salmon Patties

  • 14 oz salmon (wild caught)
  • 1 egg (free range)
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs (I save from my fresh milled bread)
  • 1 t worcestershire sauce (use a good quality one with natural ingredients)
  • olive oil for frying

In a bowl mix together all ingredients.  Heat small amount of oil in a skillet on med-low.  Grab golf ball sized amount  of salmon and pat it into a flat patty and place into skillet cook 5-7 min turning once, you just want a nice brown crusting to form on each side.
