Memorial Day

It is getting close to Memorial Day and Welch’s has there Sirloin Strip Steak on sale for $5.99 lb!(thru May 26th)

You may ask “what can I do with Sirloin Strip Steak?”
Well here are a couple suggestions:
The first thing you can do is put a little Garlic and Season Salt (or soy sauce is good as well) and grill it over medium heat approximately 5 minutes per side. (cooking times vary by how done you would like your steak)
You can also cut your Sirloin Strip Steak into about 1 inch pieces and make your own Shish Kabobs. With the steak you can cut an assortment of vegetables (we recommend Peppers, Onion and Mushrooms) , Sausage, Chicken and even Pineapple .If you don’t feel like doing all the work we do have premade Shish Kabobs at the store but if you feel adventurous here are a couple of recipes to help you out:
