    OK, so there I was on Sunday night, looking for something to eat. I noticed some dried up sausage grease on the stove from Wednesday (yeah, I'm a lazy ass, but that's another thread).

    So, I go into Emeril mode and melted down that pork fat because, well, pork fat rules! I tossed some garlic in there and sauteed it with some chopped up onion, sliced mushrooms, and some S&P. Then I threw in some pecans that I got back in December (still tasty after a month and a half). Finally, the capper...Parmesean cheese...

    DAMN, that stuff was good! Fattening, salty, high in calories...In other words, the perfect meal! The only thing I'll change before making it again is chopping up the pecans a little instead of adding them whole...I think I'll call it A-Train's Pecan Suprise...

    BAM!

    Starting a cookbook anytime soon A-Train?

    I would have added a little marinated chicken, but you made due with the ingredients that you had at home I guess.

    :p

    Hold up.....let me make sure I read this correctly.

    You sauteed onions, garlic, mushrooms, and salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese in some old, bacteria ridden, three day old sausage grease?

    I am trying to imagine what the finished product looks like.

    Whatever the case may be, it sounds NASTY, GREASY, and overall rather disgusting.

    So how'd it taste?

    I don't know where you've been, HOOP-T, but there are a LOT of people that save their grease after frying up bacon and sausage, ESPECIALLY down South...My mom always had a coffee can full of old bacon grease in it...

    Anyways, I don't have to sit here and read everyone ragging on my cooking abilities...Once I get my own show on Food Network, you'll be BEGGING for my Pecan Suprise :)

    and, yes, it kicked ass...

    I know where DEANBCURTIS was going, so I guess I'll start it off...

    <i>Bart: When you want grease, go to the source. Good old Krusty Burger.

    Homer: Oh, I'll say. Look at that red-headed kid. There must be twenty dollars worth of grease on his forehead alone.

    Bart: I was thinking more of the deep-fryer.

    Homer: All right, we'll try it your way. [the pair stroll behind the counter and find some pimple-faced kid frying a basket of fries]

    Pimple-Faced Teen: Can I help you, sir?

    Homer: [staring directly into his face] My God, you're greasy.

    Pimple-Faced Teen: Mr. Marouka? Help!</i>

    Okay... here is something good to eat...

    Ingredients:
    Stir-fry beef (from your grocer's butcher)
    Chopped up onion,
    Clove of garlic (chopped up)
    Green or red bell pepper (chopped up)
    Steamed Rice
    Red-hot chili peppers
    Low Salt Teriyaki sauce

    Prep:

    Take the beef and marinade it in the low-salt teriyaki sauce over night.

    When you are ready to cook:

    Put a couple of teaspoons of canola oil in a wok and heat it up until the oil is hot. (Actually I add oil by sight so I don't know exactly how much to put in. Put enough oil in to cover the bottom of the wok - not too much!)

    Add some red-hot chili peppers to the oil and let them "simmer" until they start to turn black. This will season the oil and make the dish spicy.

    Add the beef that you've been marinating... without the marinade! Save the marinade for later...

    Stir fry the beef!

    After the beef has been cooking a couple of minutes add the chopped garlic.

    Stir fry the beef and garlic until it is mostly cooked then add chopped onions, peppers, more garlic, etc...

    Add the rest of the marinade and simmer until you are sure all of the botulism in the marinade is dead. : )

    You can sprinkle steak/Cajun seasoning to the beef while it’s cooking and after you've added the vegetables to add salt, more garlic flavor, etc...

    Eat over steamed rice.

    Delicious!
