Tip of the month
Here is a really great basic tip for everyone and a commonly overlooked step in preparing beef.

Whether you are roasting or grilling beef, make sure to leave out your meat so it becomes room temperature before cooking. Do not leave it out for more than 2 hours. This will help insure that your beef is tender and keep it more flavorful.

Mint glazed Petite Lamb Chops
A great recipe for spring and very simple to make - you'll look like a pro and will surely impress your guests or family.

  • Preheat a skillet or grill to 375 degree's
  • Brush both sides of lamb chops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper
  • Sear the lamb chops for two to three minutes on each side. Lamb chops need to be served medium rare.
  • Remove from grill or skillet and brush with the mint glaze

Mint glaze: Yields ½ cup for 12 petite lamb chops. Also great with pork chops and beef. Place the following ingredients in a bowl and wisk until blended. Use a pastry bruch or similar - and bruch on to cooked meat.

  • ¼ cup of Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbls of drained horseradish
  • 3 tbls of fresh mint chopped
  • Finely salt and pepper to taste
