When Justin and I were brainstorming on ideas for the blog this week, Justin reminded me that we have been a little bit meat centric, and decadent with our recipes lately.  Justin mentioned that some of our readers have suggested a lighter fare recipe.  We agreed and I do have a few to share, but before I do I wanted to get a greasy, nasty, delicious, and simple recipe for my favorite steak and cheese that you can make with stuff that you probably already have in the freezer or fridge.  I friggin love these things!

Steak and Cheese

8 slices white bread
1 pound frozen Steak-Ums

1 tsp A1 sauce
¼ stick butter
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

2.    In a large sauté pan or electric skillet, heat the oil and butter on med/high, add the crumbled Steak-Ums and brown evenly.  Remove to a separate plate lined with paper towels.
3.    Add the onions to the pan with the juices from the cooked steak and season with salt and pepper, cook till soft and lightly colored.  Then add the minced garlic and sauté further until the onions are a light golden brown.  Add the reserved steak back to the onions and garlic mixture and mix thoroughly
