STICKY ORANGE MUFFINS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads Breakfast

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 Oranges
1/4 c Honey
2 c Flour
1/2 c Uncooked oatmeal
-(not instant)
1 tb Baking powder
1 t Salt
1/2 c Sugar
2 Eggs — slightly beaten
2/3 c Milk
5 1/2 tb Butter — melted

PREHEAT OVEN TO 400F. Either grease the muffin pans or
line them with paper baking cups. Using the small side
of the grater, grate the rind from the oranges,
removing only the bright orange part, and set aside.
With a small, sharp knife, remove all the remaining
peel and, if necessary, trim the oranges all around so
that the slices will fit into the bottom of your
muffin pans. Cut the oranges into slices about
1/4-inch thick, pick out all the seeds and set the
slices aside. Put about 1 teaspoon honey in the bottom
of each muffin cup, and place an orange slice on top.
Combine the flour, oatmeal, baking powder, salt and
sugar in a large mixing bowl, and stir with a fork or
wire whisk to mix. Add the reserved grated orange
rind, the eggs, milk, and melted butter, and stir just
until mixed. Spoon the batter over the orange slices,
filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 15-to-20
minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center
of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and
serve warm.

MARINADE FOR CHARCOALED ROAST

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Sauces Rubs

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 Inch thick sirloin tip
Roast
1/2 c Oil
1/2 c Red table wine
Juice of one lemon
1/4 ts Oregano
1/4 ts Thyme
1/4 ts Rosemary
1 t MSG
3 tb Green onion flakes
1 t Salt
Lots of black pepper
1 Clove garlic — pressed
1 Bay leaves
2 tb Meat tenderizer

Place in jar and shake well.. Take large fork and
poke holes in roast. Place roast and marinade in large
Ziploc bag, or in flat pan and squeeze or turn to
thoroughly coat meat. Let marinate 2 days in
refrigerator.

I made a medium fire in the bottom of the smoker and
left out the water pan and placed the roast on the
grill for about 20 minutes per side. It is supposed to
be medium, not well done. You’ll have to check for
doneness then and if not done to your taste, cook
longer. It is FANTASTIC!! Dark brown on the outside
and very tender on the inside.

I also used the same marinade, doubled, and marinated
a whole sirloin tip in a huge stainless steel bowl and
smoked it with the water pan and it was great too, but
only for a crowd!
