Salmon Stir Fry

Salmon Stir Fry

Ingredients:
- 2-3 Salmon Fillets 
- 1 tablespoon garlic
- 1/4 cup Orange Juice
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil 
- 1 tsp. ground ginger 
- Sliced Green Onions


Directions: 
- Cut salmon into cube size pieces 
- Mix remaining ingredients (besides the green onions) together and add salmon to marinade 

- Marinade salmon for 30 minutes in refrigerator
-  Cook Salmon in Wok on high heat - turn salmon carefully with tongs to cook evenly - this is the tricky part, because you don't want to get crazy with your flipping and have the salmon fall apart. - Cook until cooked through (about 3-5 minutes on each side)

- Add sliced green onions once your salmon is cooked



Serve and enjoy! 

- I made green beans and white rice to go with it.

Dad's Venison Backstraps

This recipe is by far my favorite venison recipe! If you don't have venison, you could use beef instead. We love to have it with onion potatoes and a vegetable. Hope you enjoy it! Here is the recipe...

Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. Venison Backstrap Meat (cubed)
- 2 cups Brandy
- 1/3 cup Butter
- 1 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream
- Salt and Pepper (To Taste)

Directions:
- Brown meat with butter in an electric skillet 
- Once meat is browned (not fully cooked through) - remove and set aside
- Add brandy to butter and meat drippings
- Heat and light brandy mixture - to burn alcohol off: SAFETY TIP - make sure you have plenty of height space for the flame to go - probably at least 2 feet. - sometimes we have done this step outside.
- Once your flame has died down, add heavy whipping cream.
- Bring to a boil and then return the meat to the pan.
- Add Salt and Pepper to taste
- Continue to cook (simmer) until meat has cooked through (about 20-30 minutes, check as it is cooking, you don't want the meat to get tough)
- Sauce will thicken as is simmers.
- ENJOY! :)
