Steak-Out featured on Good Morning New Orleans

Steak-Out franchisees Everett and Bonnie St. Andre of Slidell, LA were featured on a live in-studio interview on the ABC Affiliate WGNO-TV Good Morning New Orleans on Monday. Also included below is the text for the Marinated Beef Kabobs recipe that is posted on ABC 26’s website.

The grilling segment lasted a little over three minutes and gave Bonnie and Everett St. Andre the ability to promote their upcoming Kabob LTO. Everett discussed and demonstrated with the host the type of skewers viewers should use when attempting to cook kabobs, the type of meat they should use, along with how long you should cook the kabobs on the grill. Everett also discussed the various types of desserts Steak-Out offers that would make a perfect pairing with kabobs.

Each kabob will have four cubes of beef cut into 1-1/2" pieces. Each Kabob will weigh about 7 oz. Metal skewers are easy to work with and inexpensive at most stores. If you use wood skewers, soak them in water with one Tbsp. of salt for 20 minutes before using. This will keep them from burning up when cooking on the grill.

You can replace the beef with boneless skinless chicken breasts. Do not marinate chicken more than 12 hours.


Ingredients:
• 2-3 lbs – Sirloin, Round Steak, Chuck
• 6-7 wood or metal skewers – 10-12"

Directions:
1. Cut meat into 1-1/2" cubes, approximately 1-1/2 oz to 2 oz each
2. Place four cubes on each skewer.
3. Place beef skewers in marinade for approximately 15 minutes to 2 hours for cuts like tenderloin, or 6-24 hours for top sirloin, round steak or chuck. Store in refrigeration.
4. Preheat grill on medium heat.
5. Spray Smart Balance Omega 3 oil on grill.
6. Place Kabobs on grill across grill grates.
7. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side turning until all four sides have grill marks.
8. After grilling the last side, brush on reserve marinade. Flip once and sauce again.
9. Total cook time to medium temperature- approximately 12-13 minutes.

Athens woman improves health on 'Steak-Out diet'

By Karen Middleton karen@athensnews-courier.com

Life seemed to be dealing Kathy Bates a never-ending series of bad blows –– numerous serious surgeries resulting in one case in sepsis, pneumonia, blood clots and kidney failure, a hip replacement, divorce after 42 years of marriage and ongoing medical problems including arthritis and high blood pressure.

When she could no longer work at a job she enjoyed at Bryant Industrial Maintenance & Alabama Trailer Shop in Decatur, she had to go on disability.

Despondent, Kathy began to eat, and before she came to terms with her situation, she was carrying 230 pounds on her 5-foot frame. She knew she was exacerbating her medical problems through weight gain, which for her could be lethal.

“I tried several different diets, frozen dinners, and nothing worked for me,” said Kathy. “Sometimes I would order from Steak-Out.”

Kathy thought the restaurant’s chicken sandwich would be the best low-fat alternative for her, but she found the regular 7-ounce sandwich was too big and didn’t result in weight loss.
