New Food Thread, RIP tandin

Is blade steak just a sliced butt?

 

Get no starches these days.

 

Ironically, Pubix has "pork shoulder blades steaks" in their weekly ad for $1.99/lb

 

What should I cook tonight

 

fish, scallops?

crab legs in season. publix had a couple of lbs or tanner legs for only like 11 or 12 bucks

 

I was thinking maybe fish but there's this creamy potato recipe I have I've been wanting to make so I may audible to steaks on the bge

 

But I mean I could fish ya know

 

anyone have a random ahi tuna recipe/dish? cook it about once a week. pretty much been the standard: evoo s&p marinate. sear while basting 1-2 times with a soy/pepper/garlic mix and then drizzle this on top after slicing. and do it with rice/veggie.

wouldn't mind changing it up but only other way I've had it is salad/sushi

 

Wait that's weird?

 

Add some watermelon. Perfect for summer.

 

I use this recipe and reduce some of the marinade for sauce:

I really like this as a side for it:

Have also done this, and is really tasty. You could keep the avocados separate and use a round form with a layer of those on the bottom and a layer of the tuna mixture on the top for more impressive plating.

like that edamame salad as a side. big fan of veggie mixes. Last couple of weeks I've done: diced zucchini, tomatoes and corn pan seared and then put a red wine vinegar / scallion mix on it. good stuff

 

Office Potluck "picnic" tomorrow for 4th of July. After the baked potato and gravy cake's cornbread turned out awesome figured I'd use the rest of the cornmeal and make cornbread for this. Wanna do something fancy-ish. Was told that sweet Jalapeno cornbread was not Merica. so I'm gonna try bacon peanut butter cornbread

 

If you're set on beef, then I can't help you. But man, I haven't made much more delicious tacos than the serious eats carnitas tacos (I combine the no waste carnitas from J kenji Lopez alt and the other top recipe on the site).

 

Made some chicken picatta and broccoli rabe tonight. First time making it. Turned out well.

Used an ugly plate to honor the early days of the cooking thread.

 

Most Mexican recipes are pretty generic...

I wouldn't try to get too crazy with it, beef provides a lot of flavor. Stick to your basic chili powder, cumin, garlic, onion. Chop up your favorite peppers in it and it really doesn't need too much more.

 

To mess with the flavor you can try different ways of incorporating the chiles, whether you used dried or fresh or roast them over your burner right before using them etc.

 

hey man, not everyone has dated a korean chick!

 

I get irrationally angry when white people over pronounce Mexican food to sound authentic.

 

My Korean place is easy

'may I have an L3 please'

 

The carneceria by me steams their beef for shredded or barbacoa.

Season, wrap in foil, steam till it falls apart.

 

Adobo sauce + crushed tom/rotel or maybe a sofrito

yeah I watch Giada on mute

 

She is so damn annoying

 

When I do Chuck or arm I like to cut it into big cubes and leave the tops uncovered by liquid tip develop good Brown on one side I'd slow cookering.

 

If

 

I know some of those words

 

you have a stroke when typing this?

 

LoL, phone and talking to some one else.
Cube meat
Season
Liquid
Leave tops of meat uncovered to Brown.

It's good to place meat on a bed of sliced onion to hold above the liquid

 

BayouMafia , add "sometimes" to the beginning of ^ post and read in the Mushmouth voice. you are welcome.

 

Had a craving after TLAU mentioned ahi yesterday, so did some tuna tartare tonight:

 

I figured someone would mention that. The tuna is mixed with a bunch of stuff including soy sauce and lime juice which cures it kinda like a ceviche. I agree it would look better if it was a nice red color, but I prefer the taste will all the other stuff mixed in. Straight raw tuna tastes a bit bland to me.

 

Note to self: less is more. Cornbread was aiight but would have been better with just bacon and honey. Peanut butter turned it into a halfway dessert with too much moisture and kinda... Not good as a side with a meal. Win some lose some

Would make for bomb late night food though

 

Never heard of making cornbread with peanut butter. Maybe it's just me, but that sounds nasty.

 

Just winging it tonight with what I had in the fridge/pantry.

Base layer of quinoa and black beans with seasoning of s&p, cumin, and garlic. Next layer was roasted sweet potatoes and shallots. Final layer is sautéed chicken, which I topped with a quick little pan sauce of tomato paste, minced chipotles in adobo, garlic, and some pickle juice. Decided to also drizzle on a simple avocado sauce for some contrasting color and a cooling element to the chipotles.

Not bad for just making it up as I was going.

 

I just braise the chuck roast with a can of chipotles in salsa and a bit of chicken stock. Very similar to a Chipotle version of barbacoa.

 

Pork steaks turned out really good. Served with asparagus and an Apple onion sauce.

Who knew
