Beefy biscuit cups

photo came out blurry, sorry!

What I had:

• 3/4 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup barbeque sauce
• 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
• 1 (12.0 ounce package) refrigerated biscuit dough (I had the jumbo ones and it worked out)
• 1/3 (cup) shredded Cheddar cheese

What I did:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the cups of a muffin pan.
• In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, cook beef until evenly brown. Drain excess fat. Stir in barbeque sauce and dried onion. Simmer for a few minutes over low heat.
• Flatten each biscuit, and press into cups of the prepared muffin pan. Make sure the dough comes to the top of the sides of each cup. Spoon a portion of the meat mixture into each dough cup.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, and bake for 3-6 more minutes, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn.

Notes after eating it:

• Smaller biscuits might be better because they might rise up around the beef, but it didn't matter, they looked pretty this way too.
• I would add more seasoning to the beef mixture, it was slightly bland.
• Toddler loved it! 

Sweet and spicy petite sirloin steak

What I had:

4 boneless petite sirloin steaks (about 2.5 lbs)
1 1/2 cup beef broth (I used 2 bullion cubes)
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon blackberry preserves
1 tablespoon Cholula garlic chili saucepinch salt and pepper, to taste

What I did:

Mix the garlic powder, salt, and pepper together and rub both sides of the steaks, pressing the mixture into the steaks. 

Heat a skillet and cook steaks, 8-10 minutes each side or as well done as you like it. Place them on a plate on the side.

Add the balsamic vinegar, beef broth, preserves and chili sauce into the skillet and cook it down till its a thick sauce.

Spoon sauce over steaks and enjoy!
