KITTENCAL'S BEEF OR PORK MARINADE AND TENDERIZER
This is a teriyaki style marinade ---who ever said that marinades are only for flavor and not tenderizing has never tried this recipe! this marinade produces the most fabulous tasting beef and pork and tenderizes like nothing you have ever had before! I developed this recipe almost 20 years ago and still use it to this day, this works fabulous on a London Broil, it makes the best kabobs and pork tenderloins!--- the longer the meat marinades the more tender and juicy it will be, so plan ahead the meat needs to stay in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours to 24 hours (even better if left for 24 hours!) the amounts listed are enough for 2 pounds beef or pork so you might want to double or even triple the ingredients, if I am doubling or tripling I usually cut back on the soy sauce and still only use 2-3 tablespoons fresh garlic, you can add in 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder also, the powdered meat tenderizer is only optional you do not have to use it this works great even without it! don't forget to allow the meat to come down to almost room temperature before cooking, this will relax the meat fibers and create a more tender meat --- DO NOT substitute the honey for anything else but pure maple syrup, and if possible I recommend using honey that is what works as the tenderizer

Steps:
- In a large bowl combine all ingredients except the meat; mix/whisk until very well combined.
- You may now transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag if desired or leave in a large bowl.
- Pierce the meat all over with a fork.
- Add the meat to the marinade then turn to coat.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Remove meat and discard the marinade.
- Leave the beef or the pork sit out on the counter and bring almost room temperature, this will relax the meat fibers and make for a more tender juicy steak or cut of beef or pork (this is a very important step!).
- Grill or oven-broil to desired doneness.

KITTENCAL'S PORK STEW WITH PASTA
I have been making this for years, it's a full flavored tomato-based stew that needs to simmer over low heat for a couple of hours or more to blend the flavors and thicken the sauce, so make this on a day when you have some time, it tastes even better the second day --- serve this with crusty bread and lots of Parmesan cheese!

- Heat olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat.
- Shake any excess flour off the pork.
- Brown on both sides in hot oil; remove to a bowl or large plate.
- Add in more olive oil if desired, then add in the onions, crushed chili flakes, thyme, bay leaves and oregano; saute for 5-6 minutes (adding the minced garlic the last 2 minutes).
- Add in the tomato paste; stir using a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes.

- Add in beef broth or consomme, water, Worcestershire sauce, diced tomatoes with juice and button mushrooms, and return the pork back to the pot, stir with a wooden spoon; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer COVERED for 1 hour on low heat, stirring occasionally.
- After about 1 hour of cooking, uncover and let simmer over low heat (UNCOVERED) for about 1 more hour or until the pork is tender, stirring occasionally, and seasoning with salt to taste.
- Skim any fat that has accumulated on top of the juice in the pot.
- Ladle the pork and juices over cooked rigatoni or penne pasta in bowls, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Delicious!

KITTENCAL'S RICH HOMEMADE BEEF STOCK (CROCK-POT OR STOVE TOP)
Brushing the bones with tomato paste then browning in the oven firstly then combined with the slow cooking crockpot method will produce the most flavorful richest beef broth --- I usually prepare the ingredients early in the morning, by late evening you will have a wonderful rich beef broth, or you may cook overnight --- the stock may be frozen after cooling, if you don't have a crock pot you may certainly simmer this over very low heat on top of the stove, it will still be delicious! The more bones you use the richer your stock will be, so use lots!

Steps:
- Place the bones on a greased baking sheet and brush liberally with tomato paste (use only tomato paste not tomato sauce).
- Bake at 350 degrees F turning once during baking.
- Bake for about 25 minutes on each side or until browned.
- Place in the crock pot or large stock pot along with remaining ingredients, then add in enough water to cover.
- Cover and cook on low for 12-24 hours OR on HIGH for 6 hours (if cooked on high setting the stock will be lighter in color and less concentrated) or if cooking on the stove top simmer on lowest heat for about 4-6 hours.
- Remove from crock pot or stock pot; strain and refrigerate.
- The stock will keep well for 4-5 days or may be frozen.
- Note: veal bones may be replaced for beef bones.
- **Note** you may certainly use more than the amount stated for beef bones, the more used then the richer the stock.
