Marinated Stir Fry Steak, Baked 


Yum, we just had this for dinner, tonight, and man, was it ever delicious!  I was shopping, this morning, and they had this nice looking Stir Fry Steak, looked really lean, was really inexpensive ($3.81, I think), and I thought, hmmm, that might be nice with our favorite Marinade... so when I got home, I quickly made up the marinade, put the steak strips into it, covered the dish and popped in the fridge until dinner time.  We were just gonna do a regular stir-fry, but I always find that steak feels kind of tough, to me, when it's in a stir fry, so I said to my lovely son, Aidan (he's 13), hey, do you mind if I see what it's like if we bake it?

Sooo, it turned out to be sooo delicious, really tender, think I might go have a wee piece from the fridge, right now!

I served the Stir Fry Steak with broccoli and rice - was delicious, and would have been virtually fat free, if it weren't for the butter on my rice! lol!

Marinade (great for steak, chicken, or pork :)

1/3 cup vinegar

2/3 cup Oil (Olive Oil - whatever oil you like)


Montreal Steak Spice... maybe 2 tablespoons...
I think I put in a fair bit, because we really love Montreal Steak Seasoning - is fantastic sprinkled on veggies, too, especially if you're cooking them in a tin foil package on the BBQ - just a wee bit of olive oil or butter, little sprinkle of Montreal Steak Spice, seal it up and pop it on the BBQ - or I guess in the oven, too! lol!  (This is a great way to cook fish, too... : )

Mix in a bowl or large measuring cup (the 4 cup measuring cup if you want to put the meat right in the same container...), rinse the meat and make sure it's all covered with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for as long as you feel like it - 3 - 4 hours is long enough, but however amount of time you have : )

I cooked the Stir Fry Steak in the oven at 350 Degrees Farenheit, on a cookie sheet with sides (it'll create a lot of juice), just place the meat carefully on the baking sheet with it's own little space. I turned it twice, drained some of the fluid off in the middle, because I really love when the steak gets that crispyish thing on the side... but I'm Scottish, I like my meat well done (buh'dum'bum! lol!) (Sorry!! hahahaha!)

Okay, this was a really good meal, so we'll definitely have this, again, and the whole meal was around the $5.00 mark, for two hungry folks (me and the boy!! lol!).

Happy Eating! Ailsa xox

I just poured the vinegar, oil, Montreal Steak Spice and Seasoning salt into the glass 9" X 13" pan, mixed with my fingers, rinsed the meat and rolled them in the mixture, all right in the pan, and popped them in the oven at 350 for about 2 to 3 hours, maybe longer - depends on how much meat you have, and if you like your meat done really well - err, DIY ur own bad jokes, here - haha! lol! ; )



So, today we happened upon a new cut of meat that I've never seen or heard of, before, but was a great deal, so now it's in the oven $1.13/lb or $2.47/kg Convert Price per kg to $ per pound Divide the $/kg by 2.2 $2.47kg=$1.13/lb🤑🙄

Yum! They taste like delicious Pork Ribs, lots of meat - and I had mine with BBQ Sauce - deeeelish!



Bachelor Sean Lowe with His Gaggle of Girls...

Holy Crap, Batman, can you believe how crazy it is on The Bachelor, already, 2 days in??  Or, more accurately, the 2nd show of the season... yikes!  Oh, man, that little Amanda is a looney-tic, for sures... wow.  All misery doesn't love any company, then Sean appears and she's all smiles - what do you think the odds are that the producers made him keep her on, given her level of craziness??  And don't 'The Bachelors' get to see the footage of all this crazy before they make big decisions? One can only hope so, right?  Is craaazy!



And speaking of crazy, this whole thing of taking someone on some asinine 'dates'... oh, and just for the record, and for our own amusement (or, at least, my amusement! lol! - here's the Oxford Dictionary definition of 'asinine', one of my favorite words! Asinine: adj. 1. stupid. 2. of or concerning asses; like an ass.  Hahahahahaha!  Oh, that makes me laugh! The accuracy is uncanny, ain't it?? lol!  Silly.  So here's the take-away on these asinine dates, where the loser guy takes some unsuspecting girl to leap off a 35 floor building... ladies, only do it if it REALLY appeals to you, not because HE appeals to you.  No normal man in their right mind will put you in danger, and that's a major Red Flag if he does. You should never be made to feel uncomfortable, just so he can see if you're a 'good sport'.  Noooo, that's insane.   But if you've discussed it in advance, and you love adventures like that, no worries, but a first date?  Hmmm... still a Red Flag...

Oh, and didn't Jimmy Kimmel say that Sean Lowe, Mr. Eligible Bachelor, is a Born Again Christian??  Hmmm, looks like they've really loosened up the rules on what you get to do with a whole gaggle of girlies... how many girls did he kiss, tonight?  Yick.  I guess it's impossible to get to know a lady without a little make-out session... lol! Silly.  Go on and do what you like, of course, but don't make a proclamation or purity, first - that's hilarious! Although, it is more fun for me... I just wish he would wear a Chastity Ring ; )

Interesting that there are a few of the women who seem to be there because he'll feel too guilty to get rid of them - is tricky to watch, because it's hard not to wonder if he's really making a connection, or are they fillers 'til the end?  He'.. hurt their hearts, if that's the case, unless they know that, too... it's Kacie B. (do I have that name right?), that I'm thinking of, the most - clearly he doesn't have the same connection, but he doesn't want to hurt her feelings, so there she is... will be interesting to see how long those ones last... 

I did like Desiree, and I like that she called Sean out on that mean-spirited fake scene in the Art Gallery.  Who's coming up with these date ideas?  Bunch of meanies?  Seems unnecessarily cruel and mean.  I don't like that.  And that's no way to see if someone has a sense of humor - much easier, to, say, have a wee chat with them - you'll know right away whether they're funny in a normal conversation... perhaps this isn't the Learning Chanel for Dating, after all... boo!  Bring on the fun dates, where no one has to eat a spider... lol!

Aaah, no drunk girls, tonight - dang it, they're my favorite... but looks like some serious violence coming up - what is that about, the female violence thing?  Is creepy. And new, right?  Is it?  I didn't know women could be horrid until I had to deal with that, myself, last year - who knew?  I thought all women (or most of them - actually, now that I think of it, there are other women who were horrendous, too, but not violent... that's a whole new thing, I think... maybe from The Bad Girls Club?  It's a weird mystery being played out on The Bachelor...

Oooh, The Bachelor, Sean Lowe, is coming on Jimmy Kimmel, tonight - I gots'ta go watch - I love Jimmy Kimmel - he's so funny, and I've never even seen him leap off a tall building, and you can still tell! lol! Go enjoy your normal and fun dates!! Ailsa xox!

Great Deals on Wholesale Items from Alibaba : )

AliExpress by Alibaba.com

Buying wholesale through these companies form China is great - I've bought many, many items through them, and I love everything that I've bought, from Jewelry to fancy wee things to hold my purse on the table (I loove those! I'll find a link for you when I have a minute...! lol!), to fancy wee outfits, and so much more.  I am particularly fond of anything that I think would be great as gifts (you can stock up, then you always have a lovely gift for any occasion), or any products that are good for crafting, since I love to make my own pieces (usually shiny and sparkly! lol!), but mostly, when you buy through a Chinese Wholesaler, these prices are really low, so they are great for re-sale. So if you are thinking of starting your own business, or want to make some extra money on the side, or maybe as a full time job (who knows??), this is a great place to start dreaming and planning... you can try it out, see what kind of mark-up you can do, find a good venue, start bringing in extra income!  WooHoo!! Thanks, Chinese Wholesale!!
