Buffalo Teres Major Steak and Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Roasted Butternut Squash and Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower

Today’s Menu: Buffalo Teres Major Steak and Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Roasted Butternut Squash and Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower

So to start this day off I prepared a Poached Egg and a toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin. And as always my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Cool morning, 48 degrees. For the day it was around 68 degrees and partly sunny. There’s a few trees in the neighborhood that’s starting to turn on the Fall Colors already. After Lunch In went over to Dad for a while, he wasn’t feeling real good today. Not sure if he’s going to be able to come back home this time. Still hoping he can regain strength and be able to come home. For Dinner tonight Buffalo Teres Major Steak and Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Roasted Butternut Squash and Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower.

I used the Wild Idea Buffalo 8oz. Buffalo Terres Major Fillets that I had just ordered from Wild Idea. It’s sometimes tough to find these Steaks, they sell out as soon as they become available because they are so tender! Beyond any doubts one of the most tender cuts of any steak, Beef or Buffalo, you can find. I pan fried it in Extra Light Olive Oil and seasoned it with a bit of Crushed Dry Thyme along with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I fried it about 4 minutes on one side and about 3 1/2 minutes on the other side, it gets done very quickly because it’s so lean. The Fillet came out medium rare with a beautiful char on it! These Wild Idea Buffalo Teres Major Steaks are tender and delicious, love them! I also prepared some Sauteed Mushrooms to go with my Steak. I don’t think there’s a better partner for Steak than Mushrooms!

Then for one side I prepared some Roasted Butternut Squash, easy recipe for some delicious Butternut Squash! And this too has quickly become a favorite. I purchased 1 small package of Diced Butternut Squash at Kroger. They sell packages of it that they dice up. This is a lot easier than peeling and seeding one yourself, especially if you don’t have a good knife to cut it. I’ll need; 1 package of Diced Butternut Squash, Crumbled Bacon Bits, 1 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick Grinder Sea Salt, and 1 teaspoon McCormick Grinder Peppercorn Medley.

To prepare it; Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the Squash on a sheet pan and drizzle with the Olive Oil, Salt, and Peppercorn and toss well. Arrange the squash in one layer and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the Squash is tender, turning once with a spatula. And done, very easy to prepare. With the small amount of Seasoning and Olive Oil, it really brings out the flavor of Butternut Squash!

I also prepared some Roasted Cauliflower. I used a package of Kroger Packaged Cauliflower Florets. To prepare them I needed; 1 Package of Cauliflower Florets, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and pepper to taste, 1/4 cup or more) hot sauce, and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping. Then to make it is really easy I just tossed the cauliflower florets in the oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, arranged in a single layer on a baking sheet and roasted in a preheated 400 degree oven until lightly golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Then, the good part, toss the cauliflower in the hot sauce! I served it with Litehouse Lite Bleu Cheese Dressing/Dip for dipping. It’s one delicious side dish! I also baked a slice of the New York Bakery Lite Garlic Texas Toast. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Wild Idea Buffalo – 8 OZ. TERES MAJOR FILET

The Teres Major, also known as the Shoulder Tender, is second most tender cut on the animal. Cut from the blade of the shoulder within the primal chuck, it is considered to be of similar quality to the filet mignon with its mouth-watering flavor and tenderness.
