Hmmm, we both had a "where's the damn mushrooms??" day. I was chopping stuff for stirfry and discovered no mushrooms. I swear, it spoiled my entire day. 🤡

These rascals freeze well if you slice them, freeze them spread out on a tray covered with wax paper and transfer them quickly into bags. You have to grab them at the last minute to cook them. No sitting on the counter.

Steak was a last minute thing because I grabbed a couple hitting their Expiry Date. I got my list out and scrawled "potato, sour cream, chives" but forgot to write "shrooms," even though they had been a fleeting thought.

I'm gonna pan-fry the steak without use of my range hood because it has a roof-mount fan, and the ice is blocking it. Step 1: Remove the smoke detector batteries.

I went through a period where I froze stuff like parsley, cilantro, etc. because it seemed I never had it when I needed it, but it never turned out well and I didn't need it as often as I thought I might. Maybe I'll try freezing shrooms next time I buy some, because I never use them all.

I freeze a lot of bell peppers (red/yellow/green); they freeze well and don't get stuck together in a glob of ice. They aren't good for salads but they still work well in cooking. I have also frozen mushrooms but not lately.

When I grow parsley, clilantro, etc. I use my dehydrator and dry the herbs.

Ad hoc pepper steak. The closeout steaks I bough yesterday were meh, so I bought some shrooms, and onion and peppers to jazz the second one up with.

Sounds good. That would be good on a ciabatta roll with some melty cheese.

If I have leftover not-so-great steak, I slice it thin and combine with sauteed peppers and onions to make quesadillas (mushrooms optional :D). Place on a flour tortilla and add shredded white cheese; heat on a hot griddle.

I used to make quesadillas quite often, then it fell out of rotation. A favorite was shredded smoked pork on a tortilla brushed with bbq sauce, then shredded sharp American cheese.

I've been debating what spices to use in the pepper/shroom/steak. Suggestions?

Quesadillas are good with so many leftover meats. Who doesn't love melted cheese??

Are you pan grilling the whole steak and sauteing the onions and peppers? I'd probably hit it with fresh black pepper and maybe some garlic salt. Any spices you like would probably be good, but I'm usually a minimalist with steak.

I cooked both last night since I was making a mess, and planned to reheat the meat (which I already seasoned with Kosher salt & pepper from my high-dollar Pepper Cannon.) I'm gonna saute the onion, green pepper (no red available) and shrooms, then toss in the cut up meat to heat it through. I got half a baked potato left for the side. I make my own spice blends so I'll take a look and see what I got...either Mexican, Greek or Cajun. I'll have to see who we got good relationships with today. :cool:
