Marinated Ribeyes



1/2 cup barbecue sauce

3 tbsp. olive oil

3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp. steak sauce

1 tbsp. red wine vinegar

1 tbsp. soy sauce

2 tsp. steak seasoning

1 tsp. hot pepper sauce

1 garlic clove, minced

4 beef ribeye steaks, (8 oz. each)



In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first nine ingredients. Add the steaks; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for four hours or overnight.

Drain and discard marinade. Grill steaks, covered, over medium-hot heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145º; medium, 160º; well-done, 170º.)



Potato-Sausage

Foil Packs



1 pkg. (14 oz.) smoked turkey kielbasa, sliced

2 large potatoes, cut into wedges

1 each medium green, sweet red and yellow peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 medium onion, chopped

4 tsp. lemon juice

4 tsp. olive oil

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/4 tsp. salt



Divide the kielbasa, potatoes, peppers and onion among four double thicknesses of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. x 12 in.). Drizzle with lemon juice and oil; sprinkle with garlic powder, pepper and salt.

Fold foil around kielbasa mixture and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

Yield: 4 servings.



Zesty Stuffed Peppers

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 can (11 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained

1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

1 cup cooked rice

1/4 cup steak sauce

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper



In a large kettle over medium-high heat, blanch peppers in boiling salted water for 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside. In a skillet over medium heat, brown beef and onion; drain. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Loosely stuff into peppers. Place in a 9-inch square baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350º for 30-35 minutes or until peppers are done and filling is hot.

Yield: 6 servings.
