Nutrition per portion

Ingredients
  • 1 TBSP OF OLIVE OIL
  • 2 TBSP OF MINCED ONION
  • 2 TBSP OF MINCED GARLIC
  • 1 CAN OF TOMATO PASTE
  • 1 CUP OF CHICKEN BROTH
  • 1 TSP OF SALT
  • 1 TBSP OF SUGAR
  • 1 TBSP OF ITALIAN SEASONING
  • 1 PACKAGE OF PIZZA DOUGH
  • 1/2 CUP OF CHEESE
  • 1/2 CUP OF SLICED ONIONS
  • 1/2 CUP OF SHRIMP
Method
Preheat the oven to 500 F or highest temp it can go for 35 or 40 minutes. On medium heat In a small saucepan place 1 tbsp of olive in with minced onions. Saute until onions in oil for about 1 minute. Then add garlic, crushed red pepper and salt. Continue to stir until the garlic becomes fragrant. Add tomato paste and cook the raw taste out of it for 5-7 minutes by stirring. This will help with tartness. Using a whisk, pour the cup of chicken broth in slowly. Whisk the broth in slow to create the desired thickness of the sauce. You may not use all of it depending on your personal taste. Once you have your desired thickness, add the sugar and italian seasoning then stir to incorporate. Half cover with small lid and allow the sauce to simmer on low. I let mine cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes taste and adjust for flavor. If you find that the sauce is too thick add more chicken broth to thin it out until desired likness. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. In a large cast iron pan 12 inches. Place a tsp of oil at the bottom and rub all sides. Remove and access oil with a paper towel. Pull the dough into the shape of the pan. Make sure the dough covers all sides. Once it does, allow the dough to stay covered with a towel until ready to bake about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the crust will be room temp and slightly bigger. Start to layer your desired toppings. Because the cast iron isn't the same temp of the oven, I would suggest you start to cook the pizza on the stove over medium low heat for 10 minutes. Then place it in the over for 15 minutes but check after 10 as everyone's oven is different. If your pizza is done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the cast iron pan and enjoy.        

#NoFail Seared T-Bone Steak

Steak! Steak! Steak!

This is by far the easiest way to cook a seared T-Bone steak. This #NoFail Seared T-Bone Steak reverse sear method will give you doneness that transition through the meat evenly. Leaving you with a restaurant quality steak. It just a few simple steps to get your steak house steak at home. Let’s get started…


What you will need:

T-Bone 1 1/2 Inch Thick

Salt to taste or 1/8 tsp

Pepper to taste or 1/8 tsp

2 Garlic Cloves

2 Sprigs Rosemary

2 Sprigs Thyme

1 Tbsp Butter

1 Tbsp of Canola Oil

Tools:

Cast Iron Skillet

Tongs

Wire Rack and Sheet Pan


Instructions:

Preheat Oven 200F.

Dry the steak from any moisture. Then salt and pepper the meat on both sides. Place the meat into the oven and bake slowly for 35 minutes. This will allow the meat temperature rise slowly ensuring an even doneness for your steak. Place your cast iron skillet into the oven as well to get the pan heated for searing.

After the 33 minutes, remove the cast iron skillet from the oven and add canola oil inside. Place on the stove on medium high heat until the oil sees a smoke point. The oil will give off tiny puffs of smoke when moved. When the 35 minutes has passed remove the steak from the oven and place it into the hot skillet. Add butter, rosemary, garlic, and thyme. Allow the meat to make contact with the pan for at least 2 minutes each side.

While cooking on each side, continue to baste the meat with the flavor oil. Baste until your desired doneness. My method will allow you a medium doneness. If you would like a more doneness allow 4 minutes each side doing the same technique. Once the steak has cooked for 2 minutes each side remove it. Allow to rest for 2 minutes.

Once it is rested you can cut and serve. This steak can go with anything. I made mine with seared portobello mushrooms and pepper bacon wrapped asparagus.

I hope you give this recipe a try, and  I love you for cooking.

Happy Cooking!

Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo

A few weeks ago, my youtube sister asked me to make an easy version of Gumbo. Well Coilsoflove this one is for you! Gumbo is a New Orleans style stew that is made differently in everyone’s home. Traditionally it is made with the holy trinity (onion, celery, and green peppers) with seafood elements in a deep brown broth.

However, my mother always made our family gumbo in a tomato based sauce. Today, I am going to share our family recipe with my own little twist. Just know that these meats and seafood options are interchangeable but the overall flavor is always DELICIOUS! Enough talking let’s cook!
