If you want something nice, just keep in mind you do need to do some sort of cooking upon coming home because meat is good in the slow cooker but vegetables all day in the slow cooker will be mush. Something like braised short ribs would be good. Make sure you sear the short ribs and deglaze them on the stove first before transferring to the slow cooker for the braising step. Then when you get home you can do something fairly simple like mashed potatoes and sauteed green beans. To speed up the process, before work cube up your potatoes and leave them in the fridge in bowl under cold water to keep them from browning and prep your green beans by blanching them in salted water for a few minutes, then putting them in an ice water bath, then transfer to a colander in the fridge to dry. Then after work just bring the potatoes to a boil in salted water until tender, mash with some cream or put through a ricer and stir in cream. While the potatoes boil mince some garlic and shallots, sautee those with butter and add your green beans and heat through. Serve the braised short ribs and their sauce over the potatoes with the green beans on the side.

Certain types of pasta sauce you can simmer for a long time, like a classic Sunday sauce or bolognese. You can let those sauces go all day and then just need to boil pasta and finish pasta in the sauce to serve.

Make a salad. I've gotten good results with an ardennaise salad. Slightly out of season in the north of the world, though.
- Dressing: a mix of honey, raspberry vinager, pepper, salt, oil, and diced strawberries. This can safely be kept for 2 weeks in a closed container in the fridge.
- Salad: a mix of your favorite kinds of vegetables (shredded lettuce, diced bell peppers, shredded chicory...) and any kind of black or red berry you can get your hands on.
- Pan-fried potatoes (and pepper, salt, rosemary, thyme...). You can boil and slice them the day before or in the morning. They only take a few minutes to heat up and become crispy.
- Something savory - oven-warmed bacon-wrapped goat cheese; shredded and heated chicken...

Thanks guys. I think I might marry these ideas and either do pasta + that salad or the ribs. What I need to know now...

I just learned about ground coffee dry rubs for meats. I tried it on a seared, stuffed pork chop. It was a bit bland, honestly.
Any suggestions on how to better use this type of rub? Or perhaps a better meat compliment?

Yeah, what did you do, specifically? Learning about something != doing it correctly. And often I have people who don't necessarily like just the rub on pork, but think it's a fantastic complement with a little sauce.

Was your rub something like this?:
2 tablespoons freshly ground coffee
2 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon coco powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander

Some people forget sugar, or forget the other zesty spices which feed off the smokiness of the coffee. You might also want to try a darker, more darkly roasted coffee if you aren't grilling it (since the smoky flavor is kinda the point). Maybe broil it for a while?

I'm not much of a griller, though, so someone else may have more accurate ideas about what's going on.

I was just gifted a bag of assorted hot peppers - jalapenos, habaneros, banana peppers. I'm not terribly interested in making hot sauce. What are some ideas to use them? I'm thinking of stuffed peppers (at least for the jalapenos/banana peppers). Any good recipes for those? It's probably about two lbs of assorted peppers.

If I Saw It, Here's How It Happened.
Anyone have a specific, go-to, amazing Pressure Cooker Chili recipe? I don't have a lot of experience making chili, so an actual recipe with amounts of this and that would be appreciated. I was thinking that one with chunks of beef that would take time to break down would go well with the Pressure Cooker.

Not having made much chili, I don't know the ingredients/ratios well enough to know if the recipes I find online are crap. But, I assume most probably are.

It's for a Chili Cook-Off this Friday at work, and I think even a recipe that's "Pretty Good" by GWS standards would wow my co-workers.

I'm not opposed to slow cooker recipes either, but since I have a PC, why not use it? Except the recipes I'm finding all seem to be focused on the "LOOK HOW FAST THIS COOKS!" rather than how delicious it is, which is what I'm going for.

Beans/No Beans, I don't care (as long as the fight doesn't start again over this.)

This recipe looks pretty amazing. Any idea if (and how) it could be altered for pressure cooking so I could make it on Thursday night after work? http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/01/the-best-chili-recipe.html

I took a medium dark roast, ground the beans into a fine powder. I mixed it with a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, a tap of red pepper, and Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning. I rubbed it rather thick, shook off the excess. Sliced it open and stuffed it with the usual bacon, spinach, cheese. Heated my black iron skillet and seared both sides until nice and crusted. Then I baked it.
It may have been sugar, the roast, or perhaps the method I cooked it. I'll have to try again! Thanks.

Generally any recipe where there is a braising step where you simmer for some numbers of hours you can replace that step with pressure cooking for a shorter period of time. So you can follow the recipe, pressure cook for 30 or whatever minutes instead of the cooking for 2-3.5 hours in step 6. You may need to cook it a little bit more after pressure cooking with the lid off if you need to evaporate some of the liquid.

It differs from cooker to cooker based on what pressure it actually gets to (not all get up to the full 15 psi that recipes are designed for). It also depends on what elevation you're at. In general I usually decrease the cooking time to 1/4-1/3 the time it takes at atmospheric pressure where I live. For chili: chuck, shank, brisket take about 30 min. Here's a great reference for other times including beans https://fastcooking.ca/pressure_cookers/cooking_times_pressure_cooker.php

This varies bigtime depending on geographic location. Where do you live, roundabouts? A lot of once thought to be cheaper cuts have gone up in price specifically due to the higher demand.

The cuts themselves vary a lot depending on region... I have a hard time coming up with an answer because cuts have different names in French than English, and often don't actually have a direct equivalent.

With marinade, I'd recommend flat iron steak (macreuse) or flank steak (bavette). The former is cheaper around here.

As-is, sirloin steak (both faux-filet and contre-filet translate to sirloin steak, faux-filet being the tastier but fattier cut). I think what is normally called T-bone steak includes the faux-filet with some extra bones?

Note that "cheap", "lean" and "tasty" tend to be mutually exclusive, especially in the case of steaks...

I'm in Oregon. I don't do anything to the steak except salt and pepper and throw it on the cast iron real quick. I've had good luck with the cheapish "round tip" cut they have at my safeway. The marbled stuff is just a bitch to chew, and all the cuts taste good to me when they're super rare.
