Teriyaki Meatballs

1 lb ground beef
1 cup quick oats
1 egg
1/4 large onion, finely chopped
1/8 cup oil
1/2 cup ketchup
1/6 cup vinegar
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 cup Worcestershire
1/2 T flour

Combine onion and oil in fry pan. Cook onions. Combine ketchup, vinegar, mustard, garlic salt, sugar, pepper, worcestershire, and flour in saucepan. Mix together with the onions and simmer. While sauce is simmering make meatballs. Mix beef, egg and oats. Form into balls and place in glass baking dish. Pour sauce over top and bake at 375 for about 30 minutes.

These are so yummy. I got the recipe from a friends blog and we seriously eat these at least once a month, which for me is a lot. She doesn't quite follow the recipe but I do because I love them just the way they are. If you don't want to have as much kick don't add the dry mustard; although I really think that is what gives it so much flavor. Serve these up with a side of rice and mmnnn you won't be disappointed!

Asian Beef and Broccoli

1 lb boneless beef top round or top sirloin steak (I just buy whatever is cheap)
2 packages Oriental-flavored ramen noodles, broken up
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1/2 lb fresh broccoli florets
2 medium carrots, washed and thinly sliced

Cut steak into thin strips. Add ramen seasoning from package to cornstarch mixture in large bowl. Toss in beef. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in large nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Stir fry vegetables 1 minute. Add noodles and 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 3-5 minutes. Remove, keep warm. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in same skillet over med-high heat. Stir fry 1/2 of beef at a time, 1-2 minutes or until no longer pink (do not overcook). Serve over noodles and vegetables.
