Hungry for Halloween?

She spends all day running four Kansas City haunted houses — making sure the ghouls are grotesque enough, the props are bloody enough and visitors will be sufficiently frightened.

But all Sherri Petz really wants is a great home-cooked meal. And she knows just what she wants.

Soups, stroganoffs and stews are on the menu this time of year and Sherri’s meals always get rave reviews.

Want to try a Spooky Stroganoff? Click here for Sherri’s recipe and other ghoulishly delicious dishes from her haunted kitchen. And try using this beef next time – it’s to die for!

No snakes or eyeballs necessary. Unless you really want to add them, that is.

Have a wonderful, safe and appetite-satisfying Halloween!

Beef AS the wrapper — not what’s inside the wrapper!!

This is absolutely brilliant. And it comes to us from our friends over at seasaltwithfood.com.

Japanese Beef Rolls

Ingredients

8 thinly slices of Beef (sirloin)

8 stalks of Asparagus, trimmed

3 stalks of Scallions, halved

100g Enoki Mushrooms, trimmed

3 Tbsp  Japanese Soy Sauce

3 Tbsp Mirin

1 Tbsp Cooking Oil

Toothpicks or small skewers

Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Oil a baking tray.

Prepare the basting sauce. Mix the soy and mirin. Set aside.

Lay the beef slices, place the asparagus, scallions and mushrooms. Roll them tightly, and secure with toothpicks.

Bake in the oven for 5 minutes and baste the beef rolls with the sauce. Repeat the basting every 5 minutes until the beef rolls are cooked.

Boil the remaining sauce lightly and brush the beef rolls again. To serve, remove the toothpicks. Top it with some chopped scallions! DELISH!
