Gluten Free Beef Tenderloin

Image: Fillet Mignon - Beef Tenderloin Roast

This Christmas we only had a small amount of guest, therefore, serving a fine cut of meat was  inexpensive. If you have a special dinner coming up soon, consider a beef tenderloin, which is the same cut as filet mignon. It is easy to cut, carve, and serve. Because it is so tender and juicy, no gravy is required, however, if you’re serving it with mashed potatoes you can make gravy, if desired. I rarely measure ingredients for gravy, but have provided you with the ingredients and instructions below. There is nothing specific you need, besides oil and seasonings. When making beef tenderloin, remember…keep it simple! You can’t go wrong! Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Tenderloin”

Braised Beef Stew in a barbecue beer and wine sauce

Who would have thought a barbecue type sauce would turn out so well with braised beef stew, but it did, with the help of a few gourmet ingredients. Braised meat brings so much more flavor to dishes. Being allergic to tomatoes, I used my tomato-free barbecue sauce which worked wonderful with this recipe, being that it’s a bit more savory than traditional barbecue sauces. This is a must try recipe. I hope you enjoy it. I’ll certainly be making this again soon. Continue reading “Braised Beef Stew in a barbecue beer and wine sauce”

Another great way to make a turkey casserole with your leftover turkey from Thanksgiving is to make a gluten free turkey divan, which is a creamy casserole made with pasta, broccoli and cheese. The original version, chicken divan originates from a hotel in New York that served it long ago. What really makes this recipe, is the crunchy topping of bread crumbs. I hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful, and that you’ll be able to enjoy this recipe sometime this week. And if you have kids, this is a great way to disguise the taste of broccoli!

For another way to use your leftover turkey and fixings, give this gluten free frittata recipe a try. Fritta is Italian meaning “to fry”. It is made with beaten egg and is fried. It often includes vegetables, or even meat. As a child my grandmother used to make the best artichoke frittatas. The more cheese the better! I created it with a bit of twist, as this one is not deep-dish, but no more higher than a pizza. I hope you enjoy this Italian favorite.
