No sous vide or torch, I'm just a wizard with a nonstick pan I guess? This was the thickest cut I think I've ever cooked, it was a 1.5lb ribeye that was probably 1.5" thick

My method: about 2 hours before cook time, take the steak out, pat it dry, liberally apply kosher salt, set on a wire rack in the fridge. When the time comes, I pat the steak dry again, apply more kosher salt and pepper. Half a stick of salted butter into my pan on very high, steak goes in when it's melted. Sear that side for about 2 minutes, then sear all the edges. While the edges are searing, I throw in a sprig of rosemary and a few smashed garlic cloves. Afterwards, with steak now on the last remaining unseared side, spoon the butter over it constantly until that side is done, then form a makeshift bed out of the rosemary and garlic cloves and put the steak on top of it. Thermometer goes in with the alarm set to 123F, then into the oven at 275F until it's done. Take it out, spoon the butter over it one last time, rest for 10 minutes, consume.

The asparagus is done in the oven @ 400 for about 15 minutes with just salt/pepper/crushed red pepper/olive oil, then I add some grated parm and throw it under the broiler for a minute

Mushrooms & onions just in a pan with oil/salt/pepper/crushed red pepper, then add some balsamic to the pan after 7-8 minutes of cooking, and just cook until the liquid disappears and they get nice and brown

That's an incredible lack of gradient for a pan steak, good work! I am a dumb and bad cook for presuming.

Thank you :)

I was really worried by the end of cooking time that the gradient would be terrible but I was pleasantly surprised!

It's a grill on top with little nonstick pans under a low heat broiler below it, so you grill the meats and veg on top and melt the cheese / toast the bread below

It's very much like fondue in that it's meant to be a group thing that takes a good amount of time while you drink several bottles of wine

Last night we made Chrissy Teigan's "wonton" soup which uses cut up wonton wrappers as noodles and the meat that would normally go in the wontons just in the broth. Shrimp & pork meatballs, mushrooms, broth, scallions, jalapenos, cilantro, and fish sauce. It was amazing, will definitely be making this constantly

Looks like breast meat. Why not thighs? Thighs>breasts. Fight me.

I've been saying this for years and my wife finally agrees with me, I think using thighs for chicken meatballs instead of breasts is what finally converted her. Meatballs from breast meat are far too dry and end up kinda spongy , whereas the fat from the thighs really makes for a much better texture

Monday night's meal was a portobello mushroom cap (I know it doesn't look like it but it's there!) stuffed with shrimp, onions, and garlic, topped with breadcrumbs and parsley and baked, with a side of buttery, garlicky, lemony angel hair with some extra shrimp filling

I use a lot of jarred curries because I can't be arsed and they're delicious. Tried doing that cracked coconut method on Sunday before adding a healthy amount of madras curry, garlic, and ginger and holy hell I was not expecting it to make that big of a difference. The coconut flavor shined through way more than any time we've made it previously, so thanks to whoever suggested that!

tonight: a pork loin experiment



salt & pepper, only put rosemary and thyme on one cause i wasn't sure if it would be too much with everything else going on (it wasn't)

turned my oven as low as it goes (170F), set thermometer to 145 (took about 2.5 hours). let rest while making the rest!



blackberry balsamic reduction



chopped up the almonds and mixed em in the goat cheese with some honey



i could just eat this straight. it's so good.



3-4 minutes under the broiler while i fry up some fresh sage in butter





and there we have it: a slow-cooked pork loin with a honey & almond goat cheese crust, blackberry balsamic reduction, and fried sage, with a side of roasted brussel sprouts and onions

it was loving delicious and i will definitely be making this again.

as a bonus that i didn't think about until i started cooking: after straining the reduction, i was left with a mass of macerated blackberry & balsamic goodness, so i had to run out to the store for the some vanilla ice cream



couple scoops of ice cream, some of that compote, and a pinch of kosher salt :discourse:

I really like the effects of dry brining steak, and it takes so little effort aside from planning. Even if you can only do it for a few hours before you cook it, it's worth it. Overnight is the best though.

Indeed. Salt & laying on a wire rack for 24 hours in the fridge before cooking makes a massive difference. Also works great for chicken wings.

Those last 2 both look awesome. Definitely want to do some kind of fish + pasta like that in the near future. Sounds like a great Summer dinner.

it's nice because it's ingredients we generally have around and you can easily poach from frozen so if you forget to plan something it's super simple to throw together

we just do cherry tomatoes sliced in half + 2 cloves of sliced garlic in a pan for about 6 minutes, deglaze with some white wine, add a cup of veg/whatever stock you got on hand, some frozen fish filets and some basil, cover and simmer for 20ish minutes, salt and pepper throughout

make pasta, throw on more fresh basil and some parm, bam, dinner
