In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a delectable Sizzling Filet Mignon Steak Sandwich. One of the tenderest cuts of steak is grilled on an electric kitchen grill and spread with a mild, but nippy, horseradish sauce, and topped with sautéed mushrooms and onions. This sandwich is completed with a toasted onion bun and crisp lettuce leaves. Delicious!
Ingredients: (for 2 sandwiches)
(2) filet mignon steaks, trimmed of fat and about a quarter-pound each (You may use any boneless steak you like.)
meat tenderizer, to taste (No MSG)
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
extra virgin olive oil, enough to spread completely over uncooked steaks
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 medium onion, sliced into half-slices
About 8 portobello mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil for sautéing mushrooms and onions (1 tablespoon for each)
2 onion buns, split into halves, and toasted in an oven (cut side up)
fresh lettuce leaves
Prepare your 2 steaks, by placing on a tray and trimming off any excess fat. Sprinkle both sides of the steaks with meat tenderizer, to taste. Grind fresh black pepper over both sides of the steak. Pour extra virgin olive oil over both steaks, and use your hands to rub the seasonings and oil into the steaks. Set aside. Now, prepare your spread. In a small bowl, mix together ¼ cup mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of prepared horseradish. Stir until blended, and pour into a small serving bowl. Set aside. Plug in your electric kitchen grill and let it get hot. Place your 2 seasoned and oiled steaks on the grill and close. The steaks will cook very quickly, within about 5 minutes or so, depending on their thickness. Check them occasionally, if you are looking for a particular degree of doneness. While you steak is grilling, place your sliced onions in a small skillet with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and place your sliced mushrooms in another small skillet with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Saute the onions and the mushrooms over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. As your onions and mushrooms are cooking, place your cut onion bun halves in an oven that is preheated to 400 degrees and set on broil. Watch the buns closely, because they will brown in about 1 minute. Remove them from the oven when brown. Check your steaks, and remove them from the grill when done to your taste, and let them rest on a plate for a few minutes. When your onions and mushrooms are done, place them in individual serving bowls. You are now ready to emble your filet mignon steak sandwich. On the bottom toasted bun half, spread a small amount of mayonnaise-horseradish spread. Next, place a small amount of sautéed mushrooms, and a small amount of sautéed onions. Now, place 1 grilled filet mignon steak on top of your vegetables, and place some fresh lettuce on top of the steak. Cap your sandwich off with the other toasted bun half. (Note: You may omit any of the toppings, or add more of your own—green peppers and cheese are some good choices for additions.) I think you will love this sandwich! It is very simple, and the filet mignon cut of beef steak is so tender and juicy! The steak is very flavorful alone, but is nicely complemented by the flavors of the spread, the vegetables, and the onion bun. I hope you enjoy this sandwich!!!

In part 1 of the Basic Bodybuilding Nutrition Program I covered proper nutrient intake of protein, carbohydrates, fat, and water. And the amounts of each that you should be consuming daily based on your individual needs and fitness goals. In part 2 I’m going to outline some practical ways that you can fit a healthy eating plan into your busy lifestyle.
The whole idea of eating 6 well-balanced meals per day is by no means a new concept. Most of you who are reading this already have a good idea of how you should be eating. But for the majority of people the main excuse is they don’t have the time to eat properly.
But this is just not the case. Eating a “junk-food” diet probably takes just as much or more time then it does to eat a healthy diet. At lunch time getting in your car and heading on over to the fast food joint, waiting in line at the drive through, and then heading back to work takes a lot more time then if you had your food prepared in advance and ready to eat.
The key to successfully following a healthy bodybuilding nutrition program is planning ahead. When you cook your food always prepare for several meals. It doesn’t take any more time to cook larger quantities of food then it does to cook smaller amounts of food for just one meal. Purposely plan to have left overs that you can re-heat in the microwave, this saves time and makes it easier to have quick nutritious meals on hand. I’ll often grill several steaks at a time, cook several chicken breasts at a time, bake several potatoes at a time, cook up a large pot of rice, etc.
A Well Stocked Kitchen
In order to prepare and eat healthy nutritious meals you need to have the necessary kitchen supplies. Get yourself a good set of pots, non-stick frying pans, measuring cups and spoons, food scale, a good set of kitchen knives, blender, kitchen grill (such as the George Foreman grill), electric kettle, good spatulas and other cooking utensils like tongs, ladel spoons, etc. These are the basic tools that you’ll need to prepare your meals.
For packing and storing your food you will also need to get some plastic food storage containers. Get a half dozen smaller sized containers for packing individual meals. And also get a few bigger containers that you can use for storing left overs in the refrigerator. Make sure to get good containers with tight fitting lids so they will not pop open easily.
Get a couple shaker bottles for mixing up protein drinks and also get an insulated lunch bag or small hand held cooler for taking your food with you to work. You will be able to get all of these kitchen supplies at places like Wal-Mart for a fair price.

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her memorial Day Onion Burgers. Also, as an added treat, Betty’s “ghost” husband Rick appears (at the request of many of you!)
Ingredients:
1 1/4 pounds ground beef
1 oz. envelope onion soup and dip mix
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (optional)
In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 pounds ground beef and a 1 oz. envelope of onion soup mix. Mix thoroughly. Add 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce (if you want a smoky flavor). Form into 5 hamburger patties. Grill on an outdoor grill, or an electric kitchen grill, or fry them in a skillet. An outdoor grill gives the best results. Cook to the desired degree of doneness. Remove to a serving platter.
Menu suggestions:
You can serve these burgers on Kaiser buns, with mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard with lettuce, tomato slices, Swiss or Cheddar cheese slices, sauted mushrooms and onions, etc. Accompanying dishes can be Betty’s Barbecue Bean Bake, Betty’s Homestyle Memorial Day Potato salad, and some potato chips, pickles, olives, and any other items of your choice. A great dessert for this meal is Betty’s Chocolate Turtle Dessert Pizza. Have a *great* cookout!!!

Betty demonstrates how to grill the perfect ribeye steak in this video–succulent and tasty!
Ingredients:
(2) 8 0z. ribeye beef steaks
meat tenderizer (to taste)
Fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
extra virgin olive oil (enough to cover and marinade)
Remove the two ribeye steaks from the refrigerator. Place them on a roomy tray for preparation. Sprinkle meat tenderizer on both sides of the steaks to taste. Next, grind fresh black pepper over both sides of the steaks to taste. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the steaks and roll them a few times to get them covered completely. Let the steaks sit until they come up to room temperature. (If you are rushed, you make leave them chilled.) Place the steaks on an outdoor grill and grill on each side, turning once until the desired degree of doneness is reached. (If you do not have an outdoor grill, use an electric kitchen grill, being sure that the steak you have chosen is boneless, so that the lid will close.) When cooked to desired doneness, remove the steaks from the grill and put them on a tray to bring inside. Place them on a serving dish, and serve with Texas toast (recipe below).
Top make Texas toast, spread soft butter on both sides of a thick-sliced piece of bread. Place in a skillet over medium heat. Toast until lightly browned on the bottom, and then turn once to brown the other side. This will take only a few minutes and should be done right before dining.
This entree goes well with my Perfect Loaded Baked Potato and my Zesty Strawberry-Blueberry Spinach salad. An easy, elegant and tasty meal! Enjoy!!!

In this video, Betty demonstrates the preparation of New York Strip Steak for grilling. It’s an all-American favorite!
Ingredients
(2) 1-pound beef strip steaks (These will be about 1-inch thick.)
meat tenderizer, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
extra virgin olive oil, enough to cover both sides of both steaks
Sprinkle meat tenderizer on top and bottom of each of the steaks. Next, grind fresh black pepper from a pepper mill on top and bottom of each steak. Now, cover top and bottom of each steak with extra virgin olive oil. Grill in the manner most comfortable to you. We used an outdoor gas grill to grill one steak almost well done and the other one medium. (These can also be grilled indoors on an Electric Grill.) Either way, they should turn out great! This method of preparing steaks is my favorite. It can be used as a marinade, and the steaks can be prepared ahead of time and stored, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator. The steaks should be brought to room temperature before grilling. Serve with Betty’s Super Flavorful Twice Baked Potatoes, a fresh green salad, and some French bread for a great meal! And don’t forget the strawberries dipped in chocolate for dessert!!!
