Top Round Steak into a zip top bag and refrigerate overnight. Whenever you think about it, go to the fridge and give the bag a couple of squeezes and flip it to the other side. Remove from the fridge to come to room temperature an hour before cooking.
• When ready to cook, preheat oven to broil.
• Remove steak from the bag and lay on a piece of foil set on top of a baking sheet. Cook the steak on the top rack of the broiler (4-6 inches from the heat) for 5 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and cover with a foil tent to keep warm and let the juices re-distribute.
• Pour the remaining marinade in a saucepan, put on the stove over a medium heat, and reduce by half.
• To Plate:.
• Scoop about 1 cup of polenta onto each plate. Top with a little crumbled bacon and Parmesan Cheese. Thinly slice the steak on the bias and lay a few strips on top of the polenta. Spoon some of the marinade reduction over the top. Top with a spoonful of tomato relish.

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together brown sugar, A-1 and 1/3 cup of water and wisk until blended. Cut steak into thin strips. Cut onion into wedges and dice the tomato. Add to marinade and stir to cover ingredients. Cover and place to the side.
• In a large sauce pan mix 4 cups water, cornmeal, pepper seeds and garlic pepper (may also add salt if desired) and bring to a boil while stirring. Once boiling reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove from heat.

Steps:

• For polenta:
• Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add green onions and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Add 3 cups water and salt; bring to boil. Gradually whisk in polenta. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thick and creamy, stirring occasionally, about 13 minutes. Stir in cheese and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cool to lukewarm. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate; polenta will become firm.)
• For baked eggs:
• Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; fry until beginning to brown but still pliable, about 4 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Cool slightly. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings for Spring Greens with Sherry Vinaigrette.
• Line sides of eight 1 1/4-cup custard cups with 2 slices bacon each, forming collar. Place 1/2 slice bacon on bottom of each cup. Divide polenta among cups, about generous 1/3 cup each. Press polenta over bottom and up sides of bacon. Mix cheeses in bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese mixture over polenta in each cup. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Crack 1 egg into center of each cup. Sprinkle eggs with remaining cheese, green onions, thyme, and black pepper. Transfer cups to rimmed baking sheet. Bake until egg whites are almost set, about 20 minutes. Let eggs stand at room temperature 5 minutes (eggs will continue to cook).
• Run small sharp knife around edge of cups; tilt cups and slide bacon, polenta, and egg onto plates and serve.

Steps:

• Sauté chopped bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to bowl. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Add onion and garlic to drippings in skillet and sauté until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, corn, and bacon; bring to boil. Gradually add cornmeal, whisking constantly. Cook until polenta is soft and thick, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Add Fontina and Parmesan, stirring until melted, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve hot.
• Available at Italian markets, natural foods stores, and some supermarkets. If unavailable, substitute 1 cup of regular yellow cornmeal, and cook mixture for about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
• In an oven-proof dutch oven, with a tight fitting lid, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season steak with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Place in dutch oven and cook on all sides until browned, approximately 2 - 3 minutes per side.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the A.1., jam, 3/4 cup water, garlic, mustard, brown sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice. Pour over steak, cover, and place in preheated oven. Bake for 2 hours, until steak is fork tender. Remove steak to a large plate, cover with foil and let rest. Place the dutch oven with juices on stovetop over medium heat. Remove approximately 1/2 cup of juice to heat-proof bowl, whisk in the potato starch, pour back into dutch oven; stir to combine. Heat sauce until thickened, approximately 2 minutes; keep warm.
• Using two forks, shred the steak into bite-sized pieces; keep warm.
• Bring milk and remaining 1 1/2 cups water to boiling in a large saucepan over high heat. Add in the garlic powder, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gradually stir in the polenta and cook, stirring constantly, for approximately 3 minutes until thickened. Stir in the parmesan cheese and butter.
• To serve, spoon polenta into a serving bowl, top with shredded steak and gravy and enjoy!

Steps:

• FOR POLENTA CAKES:.
• Combine milk, water, cayenne and salt in a saucepan over low heat and bring to a boil.
• Using a whisk, add the polenta. Once the polenta is combined, switch to a wooden spoon and stir frequently until the polenta has become thick and smooth. Stir in the goat cheese. Keep stirring until all the goat cheese is melted and blended in to the polenta.
• Line a 9x13 pan with plastic wrap. Pour the polenta into the pan, cover with more plastic wrap and smooth the surface. Chill in the refrigerator overnight.
• When ready to use, remove the polenta from the pan. Using a cookie cutter approximately the same size as the burgers (I used a shot glass), cut 16 polenta cake rounds. add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a sauté pan over medium heat, and cook the polenta cakes on both sides until golden brown.
• FOR BURGERS:.
• Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Put brown sugar in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Coat the bacon liberally on both sides with the brown sugar. Place bacon on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook in the oven 20 minutes or until bacon is crisp. When the bacon is cool enough to touch, crumble it and set it aside.
• Add any leftover brown sugar to a bowl with the ground turkey, A1 sauce, and black pepper. Gently mix until all the ingredients are combined.
• Form the turkey mixture into 16 balls, roughly the same size. Flatten the balls into mini burger shapes. Poke each burger a few times with a toothpick. (This releases air and ensures the burgers don't shrink too much).
• Pre-heat a non-stickskillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers in two batches, 2 minutes per side. During the last 30 seconds, place 1 cheddar cheese square on each burger and put a lid on the pan (to melt the cheese).
• Place 1 burger on each polenta cake and top with some crumbled bacon. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in large pot. Add 1/2 diced onion and saute for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tbl garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes.
• Add 2 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in dried polenta and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours until smooth, adding in additional broth or water as needed.
• Stir fresh corn into polenta and continue cooking on low.
• Spray large pan with cooking spray and brown ground turkey. When turkey starts to brown, add in 1/2 diced onion, 1 tbl garlic and mushrooms.
• Cook for about 10 minutes, deglazing the pan if needed with water. Add in A1 Sauce, brown sugar, mustard and vinegar. Stir until well combined and cook 5-10 minutes, adding in water if needed to keep saucy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm and set aside.
• Check polenta for consistency. If done, remove from heat and stir in 4 tbl butter, 1/2 cup parmesan and mascarpone. Season to taste.
• Serve turkey mixture over polenta and sprinkle with fresh herbs. If serving a crowd, you can also mix the polenta and turkey together.

Steps:

• In a 2- to 3-quart microwave-safe casserole with a lid microwave the bacon, uncovered, at high power (100%), stirring after each minute, for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until it is almost crisp. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the casserole and stir in the onions. Microwave the mixture, uncovered, at high power, stirring every 2 minutes, for 8 minutes, or until the onions are softened but not browned, and transfer the onion mixture to a bowl.
• To the casserole add the water, the broth, and the sage, whisk in the cornmeal, a little at a time, whisking until the mixture is smooth, and microwave the mixture, covered, at high power, whisking after 3 minutes, for 5 minutes, or until it is thickened and the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the butter, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, half the onion mixture, and salt and pepper to taste and divide the polenta mixture between two 1 1/2-cup gratin dishes or spread it in a 3-cup gratin dish.
• Top the polenta with the remaining onion mixture, spreading the onion mixture evenly, sprinkle it with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan, and bake it in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 15 minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted.
