Best Steak Ever

Here you will find the original recipe for the best home cooked steak we have ever had. It is from Alton Brown from the Foood Network. I have put it below however all credit goes to Alton.

Ingredients

• 1 boneless rib eye steak, 1 1/2-inch thick
• Canola oil to coat
• Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Directions

Place 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet in oven and heat oven to 500 degrees. Bring steak(s) to room temperature.
When oven reaches temperature, remove pan and place on range over high heat. Coat steak lightly with oil and season both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper to taste.
Immediately place steak in the middle of hot, dry pan. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium rare steaks. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)
Remove steak from pan, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate.

Tater Tot ‘Skins’

1 bag frozen tater tots
2 – (8 oz.) bags shredded cheese – cheddar, Colby jack, Mexican blend, etc. ( I have used each of these kinds and they all work well. )
1 lb. bacon – cooked and crumbled (Real bacon bits can substitute in a pinch)
1 bunch green onions – thinly sliced tops and bottoms
Sour cream to serve alongside

**These amounts make about two pans (48 tots). If you double the cheese, bacon and onion amounts, it should finish out the bag of tater tots.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In mixing bowl, combine shredded cheese, bacon and onions; set aside. Place one tater tot in each hole of a mini muffin pan. Place pan in oven and heat until the tater tots get soft enough to smash. Remove pan from oven and smash all tater tots flat. Top each tot with a mound of the cheese, bacon, onion mixture. Return to oven until browned, hot and bubbly. Serve with sour cream.

Enjoy!

Pizza Dip

2 - (8 oz.) cream cheese
2 – (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 – (14 oz.) jar of pizza sauce
Sliced pepperoni

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spread cream cheese evenly in 9x13 baking dish. Spread pizza sauce over cream cheese (I don’t use the whole jar… I use about 2/3 of it). Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce. Top with pepperoni. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Serve with Tostitos. It’s also very good served on bread. I slice a baguette into small rounds, then toast. Enjoy!
