SIRLOIN STEAK SKILLET

slices mozzarella cheese

For the Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Place a single layer of garlic cloves on

a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Roast in 400

degree preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until soft. Unwrap

and let cool until touchable. Peel cloves and mash with potatoes when

they are ready. Wash and rinse potatoes under cold water. It is not

necessary to peel potatoes, unless you desire. In large sauce pan (or

pot), bring red potatoes to a slow boil for approximately 20 minutes.

The exact time depends on the size of the potatoes used. For faster

cooking, cut into smaller pieces. Internal temperature should be 205

degrees. Remove from heat and drain in colander. In pan or bowl, combine

potatoes, peeled and roasted garlic cloves, and all other ingredients

and mash with a potato masher.

Return mashed potatoes to low heat, if necessary, to bring them to a

serving temperature of 165 degrees. For the Sauteed Onions And

Mushrooms: Melt butter in skillet over medium heat and add onions and

seasonings. Saute and stir until lightly caramelized. Add sliced

mushrooms and stir, as needed to avoid burning, until hot. For the

Sirloin Streak Skillet: Grill steaks to desired degree of doneness. Melt

two slices of mozzarella cheese over two shingled steaks for each plate.

Top with Sauteed Onions And Mushrooms, and serve with Garlic Mashed

Potatoes on the side.

ENJOY!!!
