Philly Cheese Steak .... Kinda.....

I have been rolling this recipe over in my head for months and finally decided to make it a reality. :)

5 lb roast cut very thin (my meat counter did it for me)
2 Cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 Can water
1 Can of Mushrooms
1 package Ah Jus (dry)
1 Sweet onion
2 Green Peppers
hoggy buns
sliced cheese

Sear the meat in a skillet with a little oil
Dump the meat in a crock pot
add Mushroom Soup, water, mushrooms, and Ah Jus Pack
stir and cook on Low 4-6 hours
Saute onion and green peppers cut in small peices until they start to carmelize
(this can be done at the same time as when you sear the meat or just before you eat)

to "plate" toast buns in the oven with cheese on it (only a few minutes make sure to watch it ) if you carmelized the onions and green peppers when you started the meat you might want to put it on the buns before toasting them so that they warm up too. If you decide to do that put the cheese on top of the onions and green peppers to "hold them" in place.
take them out and top with the meat

Enjoy :)

Orange Teriyaki Sauce or Marinade

I love this with the Kalua Pork but it would be good with chicken too.

Marinade
2 C Water
1 C Orange Juice
1/4 C Rice Vinegar
4 Cloves of Garlic
1/2 C soy Sauce
1 C Sugar

Sauce
1 T Cornstarch
1 T Cold Water
1/2 C Sugar
1/4 C Soy Sauce
1/2 C Orange Juice
1/8 C Rice Vinegar
2 Cloves of Garlic

In a small saucepan, whisk together the Cornstarch and cold water until smooth and no lumps. Then, whisk in sugar, soy sauce, orange juice, vinegar, and garlic

bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce it and simmer until thickens

Remove from heat. You'll end with about 1 Cup of sauce

serve over rice or on buns :)

Kalua Pork

Kalua Pork

5-7 lb Pork Butt or pork roast
about 1 T Kosher Salt
1-2 T Liquid Smoke

put pork in crackpot and poke liberally with knife
pour on salt and rub it all over
pour liqiud smoke over pork

let cook in the slow cooker up to 16 hours it should FALL APART :)

I like to eat this with bbq sauce on buns (kinda like sloppy joes)

I only mix bbq sauce with the pork that will be eaten that night

Leftovers can be frozen
