This is what I'm attempting for tonight's dinner with my dad and stepmom:

Of course, being me, I have deviated from the recipe.
It's 7 a.m. and I have just set 4 pieces of sirloin tip steak to marinate in the crock pot reservoir in the fridge. I made my marinade with:
- somewhere around 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
I came home about 12:30 and embarked upon the stuffing. Her recipe calls for one golden delicious apple, "one half block" of feta, something like 1/3 cup chopped almonds and two cloves garlic. I had more steaks than her, but she said she had leftover stuffing. Now, my stepmom doesn't like garlic...
So I mixed:
- About 3/4 cup feta (instinct says I should have used more)
- two gala apples- 1 teaspoon pepper
- about 3/4 teaspoon minced garlic (the jar kind)
And I eliminated the nuts. Cheese and meat are enough protein. The nuts can't add that much texture...
I rolled about a large handful and a half of stuffing into each steak and returned it to the juice in the crockpot and put the crockpot on high. Then I tossed some extra stuffing on top. I planned to reduce the heat to low when I get home from my meeting, which will probably be after school at 3:30.
