How is your week going? Mine has been pretty good. Except that I might be getting "S*&%". Yes I cannot even type the word let alone say it. Sick! There I typed it! I absolutely hate, hate, hate being sick. It seems menial and slows me down. So here I am, home from work, laying on the couch watching Netflix. Who is brining me soup?!?!? Anyone?? haha
Last night, when I was feeling ok, I experimented in the kitchen a bit. My sister and brother-in-law have a little "farm" outside of Austin. They have deer, pigs, chickens, among many other animals and vermin. My brother-in-law gave me some venison backstrap when I was there a couple weeks back. Typically my favorite way to prepare this cut of meat, is to "chicken-fry" and make gravy. GASP! My mom perfected this way of cooking it, so I wasn't even going to attempt it last night. Not to mention it's incredibly unhealthy(but so dang tasty).
I thought venison fajitas was a good way to prepare the meat. I took some tequila and made a marinade, which it rested overnight. Here is the recipe.
Tequila Marinated Venison Fajitas
1 lb Venison(approximately)
2 tbsp Tequila(any brand)
1 Lime, juiced, zested set aside
1 tbsp Liquid Aminos
1 handful Cilantro, chopped
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
Whisk all ingredients together. Place venison in a plastic bag or air tight container and pour marinade over top. Refrigerate overnight(or for a few hours at least)
Remove and grill or cook in pan-whichever you prefer.
I cooked these in coconut oil in a nonstick skillet. It didn't get the "char" I like from the grill or a cast iron skillet would have, but they were still very tasty. Operation Sherry-needs-a-grill is in full effect!
Here are an article I found informational regarding working out while sick.
And
I hope these are helpful if anyone is battling a summer cold.
Time for some rest! See ya tomorrow!
