Maui Meatballs September 14th, 2007

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup rolled oats or bread crumbs
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 egg, beaten
1/4 tsp ground ginger
ground black pepper and salt to taste
2 tablespoons corn starch
1/2 brown sugar, packed
1 can pineapple chunks
1/3 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 bell pepper, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix ground beef, oats, onion, egg, ginger, black pepper and salt. Roll into meatballs. Bake for 15-20 minutes on a rack, or until meatballs are done.

While meatballs are baking, combine corn starch and brown sugar in saucepan. Add juice from pineapple chunks, reserving the chunks. Add vinegar and soy sauce. Stir frequently over medium heat until thick. Add pineapple and bell pepper.

Editor’s Note:

These are great served over rice or noodles. The taste is fairly sweet. You can water down the sauce if it comes out too thick, but I have rarely found that to be necessary.

Kabob Marinade May 17th, 2007

1/2 cup olive oil
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup mustard
1-1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cloves minced garlic

Chop preferred meat into sizes appropriate for kebobs. Mix all ingredients together in a resealable plastic bag and add meat. Marinate for 4 or more hours, up to overnight.

This marinade is really wonderful on beef. Like any marinade, half the fun is playing with the ingredient list and seeing what you can come up with. As summer approaches, barbequeing will be more fun and a great way to keep your home cooler.
