Easy Fish Recipes - Cooking Fish in the Microwave

Prior to beginning our discussion, it should be noted that microwaves come in many different power ranges. It is difficult to cover them all. We will try to provide a variety of cooking times for different power levels, but at the least will identify the power level used. You may need to adjust per the power setting on your microwave.

Defrosting Fish in the Microwave

For most microwaves, the defrost setting is fairly consistent. Therefore the times listed here will be close for whatever microwave you have. Place the fish in a microwave safe container. In general, fish need 4-6 minutes per pound on the defrost cycle to get thawed. Half way through the defrost cycle, turn over and rearrange fish. Fish should be cold, perhaps even a bit icy at the end. If necessary, allow the fish to thaw for up to 20 minutes at room temperature. Do not leave at room temperature longer.

Cooking Fish in a Microwave

Just like when you cook fish in hot oil, in an oven, or on the grill, fish should be cooked at a high temperature for a relatively short period. The fish will continue to cook internally for some length of time after the microwave is finished. The cooking times listed are for a 700 watt microwave. It is assumed the fish has been previously thawed.

Whole Fish = 6-8 minutes per pound
Individual Fillets = 4-5 minutes per pound
Steaks = 4-5 minutes per pound
The fish will be done when the meat is flaky. You can cook the fish longer if necessary, but do not overcook.

Salmon Steak Recipe

Four 1.5 lbs salmon steaks cut approximately 1.5 inches thick
Butter (1/3 to 1/4 cup)...No Fat Substitute Works
Chopped Parsley
Chopped Onion
Diced Mushrooms
Lemon Juice (2 Tablespoons)
Salt and Pepper
In a saucepan melt butter and add parsley, onions, lemon juice, and mushrooms. Put half in the bottom of a bake dish. Lay in the salmon steaks. Season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining mixture. Cover the salmon steaks and place in the microwave. Cook for between 6 and 10 minutes. Let stand for 3-5 minutes covered. Check to see if the fish is flaky after it has stood for 5 minutes. If not, add time in one minute increments on the microwave.

This recipe can be used with trout fillets, halibut, and many other fish. Do not be afraid to experiment.

T Bone Steak Recipes - Picking the Best Cut of Meat

It's summer, it's warm and it's time to get the grill going. Time to invite the friends over, ice up a cooler of beer and cook some steaks. Nothing to it right? Do you have one of the great T Bone steak recipes? Do you need one? If you've been cooking steaks on the grill, you might know the answer, but for sure there are a few tips you need to follow, even for the most seasoned backyard BBQ king.

Picking the right steak is very important. The T-Bone steak is one of the cornerstones of beef so it's a good choice. Tenderloin, strip and porterhouse steaks are more tender, T-bone falls in the middle, but don't worry, it's good.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture or the USDA grades beef and the highest quality if prime, that's what you want to go for. Choice is the next best and what is found usually in grocery stores. You might have to call around to find prime, but some good butcher shops and Whole Foods carries that quality of steak.

To get the tastiest cut of meat look for good marbling, which is tight, evenly spaced, flecks of fat in the meat. Remember, marbling in meat is like the flavor crystals.

When it comes to the actual cooking, I like to keep things simple: salt, pepper and a little olive oil spread on each side of the steak. I think the pure flavor of steak and charcoal is the best, especially if you've got yourself a great T-bone steak.

Just cook it on each side for a few minutes depending on how you want it cooked.

Hamburger Steaks With Brown Gravy Recipes

A hamburger steak is a perfect comfort food, and hardly even requires poring through recipes.  At its most basic, it’s just ground beef, after all, maybe with a little bit of salt and pepper or garlic powder mixed in.  But that makes for a pretty bland meal, doesn’t it?  A hamburger steak with brown gravy recipe, however -- now that’s what you need to turn a simple meal into a perfect dinner.
When I make hamburger steaks with brown gravy, my recipe calls for Rawleigh Steak and Hamburger Seasoning Mix, as well as Rawleigh Onion Flakes -- they are well worth mail ordering for, as nothing in ordinary grocery stores is comparable.  A pinch of kosher salt, a touch of Worcestershire sauce, and the patties are ready to be cooked; in the winter, you have to resort to frying or broiling, but in summer you definitely want to grill!  
The brown gravy for my hamburger steak, too, must have Rawleigh’s Brown Gravy Mix -- no other mix can compare.  You can make it according to the package directions (and isn’t that a great jar, by the way, rather than those packets that spill powder everywhere when you tear them open?): 2/3 cup gravy mix combined with 1 cup cold water, then whisked into 3 cups boiling water until thickened.  But I like to tinker a bit, so here’s how my hamburger steak with brown gravy recipe looks:
2 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons Rawleigh Steak and Hamburger Seasoning Mix
2 tablespoons Rawleigh Onion Flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Combine ingredients, divide into 6 patties, and cook to desired doneness.
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1/3 cup red wine (one that’s worth drinking!)
2/3 cup cold water
2/3 cup Rawleigh Brown Gravy Mix
3 cups boiling water
Heat butter in a skillet, and add mushrooms; sauté until golden brown.  Meanwhile, combine wine and cold water; stir in gravy mix.  Whisk mixture into boiling water and cook until thickened. Stir mushrooms into brown gravy. Place hamburger steaks onto a serving platter and top with the brown gravy.  Serve hot to a hungry family!
This is easy enough to make for a quick weeknight dinner, but also sophisticated enough to be served at a dinner party.  My hamburger steak with brown gravy recipe is an all-purpose hit!

Easy Vegetarian Recipes For Skeptics

If you are thinking of following vegetarian diet for certain causes - religious belief, health reason, economic reason, animal rights - you will face a barrage of uninformed arguments from skeptical relatives and friends. A common argument about vegetarianism is the difficulty of preparing vegetarian meals. Don't get swayed or discouraged by this argument because there is a lot of choice for vegetarians. A vegetarian diet consists of ordinary everyday foods like grains, vegetables, nuts, and fruits. Legumes and starches like potatoes and rice are also part of the diet. Fish, poultry, and dairy products can also be incorporated depending on what type of vegetarianism you follow. These are all available in your average grocery store. Also, there is a variety of easy vegetarian recipes available in many sources. Books, magazines, newsletters, and even TV shows are veritable sources of healthy vegetarian recipes. You will not miss anything because the choices are limitless.
Vegetarian meals do not deviate much from a regular diet except for the absence of meat. Skeptics argue that this could mean missing out on essential proteins. But this is hardly true nor correct. All healthy vegetarian recipes are well-balanced. They have the required amounts of essential vitamins, minerals, and protein. Examples of protein choices are legumes, nuts, beans, fish, poultry, dairy, and the popular tofu. Calcium, a mineral often associated with milk, is not missed either. Middle Easterners and native Africans are known to have strong teeth and bones but their diets rarely contain dairy or meat. They get their calcium from vegetables and root crops. So there is no reason you couldn't get your calcium requirements from vegetarian foods. In terms of nutrition, a vegetarian diet is even superior to diets with meat. There is less fat and bacteria that enter the body which can cause heart diseases and infections. You can watch meat lover bloat and get fat while maintaining your own healthy body with vegetarianism.
After proclaiming that you are eating healthier with vegetarianism, you'd think that the non-believers will stop bugging you. But no, they're back and possibly bearing the most difficult question for hedonists. They'll ask if you're not depriving yourself of the hearty pleasure and satisfaction only the flavor of meat can give. Fret not because vegetarianism has an answer to that. When vegetarians state that there are easy vegetarian recipes, they don't just mean easy to prepare but also easy on the palate. Contrary to what the skeptics are thinking about vegetarian meals (you know, limp lettuce and carrot sticks), vegetarian meals are flavorful and varied. Recipes range from curries, soups, burgers, steaks, hotdogs, casseroles, pasta, and delicious desserts all made with true vegetarian goodness. In fact, vegetarian meals are more flavorful because they make full use of herbs and natural flavors unlike meats which use a lot of salt.
If your friends and relatives still won't stop bugging you about your vegetarian diet, get a load of healthy vegetarian recipes and cook them a feast. When they see that you didn't even break a sweat preparing the delicious feast, they'll be convinced of the ease of vegetarianism. Give them copies of easy vegetarian recipes and don't be surprised if they'll ask you to go produce-shopping in the following days.

Kiwi Cuisine Recipes From Britian

Stemming from its British Colonial heritage, culinary culture in New Zealand has long been characterized by straightforward fodder such as steak and fries, fish and chips and baked meats. However, driven by the demands of increasingly sophisticated tourists to the region and influenced by both Asian and Pacific flavors, New Zealand cuisine has quickly evolved to cater to gourmet tastes. Today's New Zealand menus combine the incredibly fresh produce, meat and seafood with an eclectic mix of indigenous plants and exotic vegetables to create complex, flavorful dishes.
Fortunately, travelers heading to these dreamy, green islands in the South Pacific don't have to wait long to indulge in a Kiwi feast. For example, Air New Zealand offers a gourmet New Zealand-inspired menu for passengers traveling in its Business Premier and Pacific Premium Economy classes. Designed by world-renowned consultant chefs, an array of authentic options are paired with fine native wines to offer travelers a glimpse of the country's culinary culture before they even hit the ground.
For a sample of New Zealand cuisine at home, try this recipe handpicked by one of the consultant chefs from Air New Zealand and currently available on all flights originating from North America.
New Zealand Glazed Snapper and Arugula Salad with Vanilla Saffron Aioli
Serves 4
4 vine-ripened tomatoes
12 baby gourmet potatoes
4 medium fillets of fresh snapper
1 cup fresh arugula
Place tomatoes on a tray of rock salt in the oven at 320° F and roast until skins begin to split.
Remove from oven and keep warm. Slice potatoes into thin slices and pan fry in olive oil with sea salt till golden and crispy.
In a large pan, fry the snapper (sprinkled with sea salt) skin-side-down until golden. Turn the fillets over to finish cooking the fish. To stop the fillets from curling up, use a fish slice to press down on the fillets as soon as they go in the pan. Hold for 20 seconds at the start.
Toss arugula in a bowl with 1 teaspoon of New Zealand or regular extra-virgin olive oil.
Arrange potato slices on warmed dinner plates and squeeze "circles" of vanilla saffron aioli around the potatoes. Place snapper on top with arugula and roast tomato to the side. Brush with lemon caramel and serve while hot.
Vanilla Saffron Aioli
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground New Zealand or regular saffron
1 vanilla pod or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 egg yolk
6 oz. grape seed oil
Boil the vinegar and saffron together. Cut the vanilla pod in half lengthwise and rub the seeds into fine salt. If using vanilla extract, skip this step. In a bowl, whisk vanilla salt or extract onto the yolk, whisk in vinegar and slowly add in the oil, whisking well. Place in a bottle until ready to use. This makes it easy to serve and will keep in the fridge for up to four days.
Lemon Caramel
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1 lemon
Boil sugar, water and salt till golden caramel in color. Remove from the heat and cool slightly before carefully stirring in the lemon juice. Use a pastry brush to coat the snapper fillets.
This authentic New Zealand dish can help spice up your menu.

A Look at the Recipes and Variants for Preparing Salsbury Steak

One of the most popular Southern American dishes, Salsbury steak makes part of the local culinary flavor; served with grilled onions and gravy, this dish is very commonly called “country fried steak”. Though traditionally known as a steak, this is actually some form of hamburger made of ground beef and lots of seasonings. There are plenty of recipes and variants for preparing the Salsbury steak, and one is often more rewarding and delicious than the other: the ingredients range from cheese fillings and mushrooms to corn flakes. Though the seasonings and the dressings that accompany a Salsbury steak may be different there are some ingredients that cannot miss from the composition.





Make sure that the ground beef you buy for the Salsbury steak be lean enough for your taste; you will also need eggs, bread crumbs, onions and some rice. Some recipes also include further grated vegetables in the composition such as raw potatoes and carrots, and this combination also works fine. The egg is a must have ingredient of all Salsbury steak types since it makes the ground meat and the rest of the components stick together. Pepper powder, chilly and green parsley are the seasonings that work best for the matter, and you could also drop some garlic too.





Divide the meat into even portions according to the number of people you are going to serve, and make some patties. In the meantime heat some vegetable oil or butter in a frying pan and add the patties; it will take no longer than five minutes of cooking on each side before the Salsbury steak is ready. Take the patties out and keep them covered with an aluminum foil so that they remain warm while you prepare the sauce and the side dish. Varying from one recipe to another, this is when things get different. Let's see what to do for a mushroom sauce to serve with the Salsbury steak.





Either canned or fresh mushrooms can be used for the Salsbury steak, you'll only need to sear them in butter, add some Worcestershire sauce or Dijon mustard, spices and a small cup of water. The cooking time depends on the kind of mushrooms you are using: usually the canned ones are prepared faster but they don't have the same aroma. Two or three minutes before taking the mushroom sauce from the stove, add the Salsbury steak to the composition and let them boil together. For anyone who'd like to have the Salsbury steak a little crisp, simply pour the dressing over it.

12 Ways to Cook a Steak

Sometimes we get in a rut and eat the same thing over and over again. Well, if you've been fixing steak for the past few years in the same old ways, it's time for your taste buds to come alive with flavor. It's time for your spirit to soar with joy when you stimulate your new taste buds in very dissimilar ways. Here are some ideas for you on dissimilar ways to fix steak.

1 Add a Touch of the Ocean

Cook Steak

Cut a slit in a steak that's one and a half inches thick and stuff a raw oyster in it. Skewer the slit shut with a toothpick. Grill the steak in a skillet and then place the steak on a warm plate. Use the pan drippings to sauté scallions and garlic. Add a tiny oyster juice to the mixture, warm briefly in the pan and pour over the grilled steak. Warning: This one may be good for the sex drive!

2 Simplicity is Often Best

Brush steak with melted butter before grilling or barbecuing. Right before serving, add salt and pepper.

3 Garlic Lovers Will Love This One

Cut garlic cloves in half. Rub garlic cloves on both surfaces of the raw steak. Cook steak over fire until done. Add sautéed onions, garlic, and parsley on top of steak when finished.

4 Papaya Rubs Tenderizers the Meat

With ripe papaya strips in your hand, rub the fruit into both surfaces of the steak before cooking. Use the fruit side, not the outer peel side. Set the steak aside at room temperature for 10 minutes. Repeat process two supplementary times. Then cook. This one helps enhance digestion.

5 Mushroom Stuffed Steak

When your heart tells you to fix a steak as a ease food, mushrooms may help.

With a big 2-inch t-bone steak or porterhouse, make any slits into the meat large adequate to stuff a teaspoon of mushroom into the slit. Soak fresh button mushrooms in water for 20 minutes, then drain and dice. Add a sprinkle of herbs such as basil, oregano, dill, and rosemary. Mix together. Spoon into the slits. Close slits with a toothpick. Cook steak. Serve with mushroom gravy or mushroom soup on top steak.

6 breakfast Steak

While steak is grilling in the broiler or in a skillet, fry an egg in clarified butter in an additional one small skillet. Use clarified butter; you've probably been using regular butter all these years! Cook the egg sunny-side up. When the steak is complete cooking to your preferred doneness, transfer it to a warm plate. Add the egg on top. With a tiny salt and pepper, you're ready to go.

7 Cowboy Style exterior on the Range

With all the ways to fix a steak, cowboys loved to fire up the campfire and add dried cow manure to the fire. After the fire is at the right temperature, add the steak to the grate about 4 inches away from the heat source. Salt and pepper to taste. One cowboy reported that he wasn't too thrilled about the establishment method until he tasted the steak. There were no leftovers that night!

8. Shake the Steak With Herbs

Get a plastic bag or ziplock bag. Add 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, a few tablespoons of olive oil, a half cup wine, and herbs such as 1/2 teaspoon basil, oregano, summer savory, thyme, lemon pepper and salt. Just shake the herbs into the bag into a surprising combination. Add the steak to the bag. Shake, thus coating the steak with the mixture. Take off steak from bag and grill. This steak will be filled with flavor. You'll want to call all your friends and tell them how this one tastes.

9. Shake The Steak with Herbs and Flour

There are so many variations of how to fix steak it would amaze even your grandfather. This time, get an additional one plastic bag. Add 1/2 cup white wine, a few tablespoons of olive oil, a few tablespoons of flour, and herbs such as 1/2 teaspoon basil, oregano, summer savory, thyme, lemon pepper and salt. Add the steak to the bag. Shake, thus coating the steak with the mixture. Take off from bag and grill. Serve with a bottle of wine.

10. Love Anchovies? Fix a Steak with Them!

Fix your steak as usual, grilling it, broiling it or barbecuing it. When it's finished, add a salty topping of diced green olives with red pimento and anchovies.

11. Kiwi Peach Steak

Of all the ways to fix a steak, this is my favorite. Take one very ripe kiwi and one very ripe peach and dice into very small pieces. These fruits should be very juicy. Mix in a nonmetallic bowl. Use this as your marinade for the meat: add the steak to the bowl, exterior the steak with the mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 6 hours. Then when you're ready to cook, wipe off the fruit from the steak and place on grill. Great flavor. Serve with peach pudding when you're feeling fruity!

12. Soy Sauce Standby

Use soy sauce as a marinade. Add up to 1/2 cup wine and kitchen herbs to the marinade. Soak steak in combination for 30 minutes prior to cooking. Makes a very tasty steak.

Common Tips you Can not Ignore When Making Steak Recipes

Steak is one of the common elements of international cuisine, regardless of its specificity; the only variations are those related to cooking modes and seasonings. The uniqueness of the steak recipes is actually given by that one ingredient that makes a dish different from another one in almost all aspects, since taste change is actually the rule that governs gastronomy in general. Furthermore, dressings, sauces, salads and side dishes contribute to the differentiation of steak recipes; it is one thing to fry beef and serve it as such, and it is something else to add raw vegetables and let them sear together.





Then, we could easily say that beef is to the western world, what lamb is to the eastern one; but steak recipes for such kinds of meat have common points that cannot be ignored. For instance, adding wine when cooking meat is perhaps among the most frequent shortcuts taken to enhance flavor and speed up the tenderizing process of the muscular fiber. Steak recipes that rely on red wine usually require laurel leaves, green and black pepper beans as well as several cloves of fresh garlic. Take one of these ingredients out and the taste will not be the same.





Preparing steak recipes with white dressings is another common element of most cuisines: sour cream, milk and flour are basic ingredients while the spices and the preparation specificity differ. Such steak recipes are ideal for any meat lovers as they can be prepared rare or well done, grilled or broiled. What it truly matters for the success of all steak recipes is the quality of the meat used; hence, fresh meat is definitely preferable to the frozen or semi-processed one. Try cooking the steak recipes at the microwave as little as possible since the flavor is not the same as food prepared directly on the stove or over a coal fire.





As for the possibility of learning new steak recipes, the Internet is probably the most comprehensive source of information since it provides more complex data than any authentic cooking book. When accessing gastronomic pages online, you'll also find some steak recipes specific to other cuisines than the one you are used to; this is a good way of preparing a surprise for the family or a romantic dinner for your partner. Always be careful with the ingredient dosage; generally speaking, all steak recipes indicate the number of people the dish is meant for. If you are fewer than that, try to adjust the spice quantities yourself as they are the most likely to influence flavor.

Steak Recipes

Steaks are the easiest to prepare among all the meats. Tender steaks like the sirloin and the T-bone (filet mignon is the tenderest but it is very expensive and not easily available in the markets) are usually grilled. Most recipes differ in the marinade that is to be applied to the steak. Marinades use wine, lemon juice, soy sauce, tomato juice, etc; or even fruits like papaya and pineapple. Steaks are marinated for 6 to 24 hours, depending on the recipe and then placed on the grill. A charcoal grill is the best bet to get the restaurant-like flavor. Based on the tenderness of the steak, they are turned twice or thrice to get the desired level of doneness. Steaks should not be disturbed when they are grilling, as this does not allow the crust to form on their sides. Also they should not be poked with forks as this would allow the juices to run out of the steak.

Among the best known recipes of steak preparation is the Bæuf au Poivre, literally meaning 'Beef with Peppercorn', a traditional French recipe. This is an exotic dish, which uses only the prime cuts of the filet mignon. Beef steaks from the tenderloin (four of them of about 1" thickness should serve four people) are first sprinkled with salt like kosher. Then peppercorns are crushed and patted onto both sides of the steak. Steaks readied in such a manner are then placed on a 12" skillet pan over a medium fire. They are cooked for 8 to 10 minutes on one side, without disturbing. Then they are turned over. Desired doneness is checked with a meat thermometer or just by touching if the person is experienced. Then mustard and Cognac is added to the skillet and further cooked for about 30 seconds. Each filet is then cut in four slices and served with Dijon sauce.

Cook Steak

Almost all countries have their own traditional steak recipes. Asian recipes with porterhouse steaks are spicier, using a lot of soy sauce and peppers; cooked in the rotisserie style. They specialize in various types of kebabs. The Irish blend steak and bacon together with raisins to make a spicy-sweet recipe called the Steak and Guinness Pie. As in most other dishes, the Swiss use salsa in their steaks and serve it with mushroom soup. But the best and the most exotic dishes come from La France. The French have experimented and mastered several gourmet dishes. Despite there being several hundreds of steak recipes all over the world, Americans specialize in the humble grilled steak, which is just as flavorful as any of the other high-brow names going around.
