Looked a lot prettier before I started destroying it... NY Strip with some garlic mashed red skinned taters.

I use my uncles steak seasoning which is salt, crushed peppercorns, garlic powder, smoked paprika, little bit of cumin, and marinate it in a mix of Worcester, balsamic, and olive oil. Pan seared in a cast iron and basted it in butter and thyme before serving.

Real Ramen is ridiculously complex. Well, it can be. Getting the Tare just right is difficult. Finding ingredients can be tricky. It is one of those things that as much as I love to cook, it is something I am unlikely to ever attempt again. Although it was good, the time, effort and cost just was not worth it.

I was thinking about you.
You soo have to try this!

Quick Beef Pho
Ingredients
Pho Stock:
2 tablespoons beef bouillon or base
1 tablespoon Vietnamese fish sauce
1 tablespoon white sugar
One 2" piece ginger, sliced into thin tiles
1/2 yellow onion, large dice
Pinch kosher salt
2 whole cloves
2 whole star anise
1 cinnamon stick
Assembly:
1/2 pound thin rice stick noodles, rinsed
1/2 pound beef strip loin or fillet, shaved thin
1 cup Vietnamese basil leaves
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
5 jalapeno or serrano chiles, sliced thin
4 scallions, sliced thin on the bias
1/2 yellow onion, sliced paper thin
1 lime, cut into wedges
Hoisin sauce, for the table
Chili sauce, such as Sriracha, for the table.
Directions
Special equipment:
cheesecloth and butcher's twine for the satchel
For the Pho Stock:
Add the beef base and 1 quart water to a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a low boil.
Add the fish sauce, sugar, ginger, onion and salt to the stock and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Wrap the cloves, star anise and cinnamon stick in a piece of cheesecloth and tie it into a satchel.
Add the satchel to the broth and simmer for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 45 minutes.
.Around the 30 minute mark, taste the broth to see that the spice flavors have been extracted, and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Strain the aromatics and satchel from the broth, return to a sauce pot, and reserve for assembly.
For the assembly: Bring the broth back to a simmer.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Using a sieve or basket, quickly dip the noodles into the water until they are hot and al dente, 10 to 20 seconds.
Drain the excess water from the noodles and distribute the noodles between 4 bowls.
Top each bowl with some sliced beef, basil, bean sprouts, cilantro, jalapeno, scallions and onion, or as each person wishes.
Ladle in enough broth to cover the ingredients in the bowl.
Garnish with a lime wedge. I like to serve pho with Sriracha and hoisin sauce.

Yes. I feel like it always happens. At least half the shells are broken.

Cashew Ginger Chicken

Made above for the 1st time 3 weeks ago, came amazing! Looks great puckmonster!

Now, my addition.
Cashew is optional to throw in at some point OR add them afterwards. Came amazing and served with Jasmine rice.
Better than any Chinese restaurant (at least here in Florida)
Tweaked it with extra ginger.
Suggestion; double the marinade ingredients, you wont be disappointed to drizzle over rice if you choose.
Sorry I didnt "pretty it up" like they did on website. Had NO IDEA I would be sharing. Lol.

Funny story, many years ago I tossed a HUGE slow cooker as at the time.....I thought it to be lazy, and didnt KNOW how amazing some dishes are cooking it slowly while NOT having to babysit it. Now, have just a 6qt. cooker I believe.

I don’t usually do Italian but I may have to make a nice fat lasagna and pour out some grappa for Tony’s demise.

No, I love Italian, I just don’t usually cook Italian. Just joking about kind of having a funeral for our hopes of Tony being an elite offensive dman for us.
