The title is hilarious.

It’s simple and anyone could do this for an easy, flavorful meal in a hurry.

Sweep Steak

Recipe adapted from The I Hate to Cook Book

Makes 4 to 6 servings

2- to 3-pound steak or pot roast

Two 1-ounce packets of French onion soup mix

Preheat the oven to 300°. Place the meat in the center of a

large sheet of aluminum foil and sprinkle it with the onion soup

mixture. Fold the foil around the meat so that it is

completely enclosed, and place it in a baking pan. Cook the

meat for 3 hours, until it’s tender, then slice and serve.


With kids and sports and homework and laundry and work and various and sundry other activities, it’s hard to sit down to a yummy meal during the week.

Or maybe I’m just projecting my life onto yours.

Either way, this sounds like the best of all worlds – try it!

Flip Your Steaks By Hand

I’m often up late at night. The TV is on and you can imagine what kinds of ads I see.

Everything from “enhancement” products to hearing aids to – well – THIS:

It’s the Grill Glove!

Seriously, you put it on, reach right on that hot grill, grab your steak, flip it and all is well!

It’s even dishwasher safe. Bonus.

I don’t know what I think about this. Will I accidently burn part the of my arm that’s not covered by the glove as I reach over HOT FLAMES?

Also, do I want to actually pick up my steak with my hand as it is cooking? I’m worried about the “ick” factor here. Will it feel mushy?  

On the other hand, Anthony Sullivan is endorsing it. So you know it has to be top notch.

Who’s Anthony Sullivan again?

What do you think? Do you have any experience with the Grill Glove? Or is this a flash in the pan?
