So today I went to the store to pick up some green onions, garlic, cilantro, and jalapenos.
I already had the red whine and sirloin steak, sweet potatoes, and white onions at home. I am going to make steak, and a delicious sauce
with mashed sweet potatoes. I start by chopping the onions, garlic, jalapenos, cilantro, and green onions. Dice them as small as possible.
Pour some olive oil in a pan and as it starts to show sings of life I add the garlic. When I smell the garlic I add the white onion and jalapeno.
Let is sizzle a short while and turn down the heat. Pour red whine into the pan very slowly while stirring with wooden soon. Two cups worth of it.
Turn heat up a bit and reduce for a good while. Add cilantro and green onion and turn heat up. It is getting a bit thick and I put it on another burner at very low
heat. Slice up two large sweet potatoes and place some butter in a new pan. Fry the sliced sweet potatoes in the butter until I can see the sweet potatoes adding
their stuff to the butter. Remove sweet potato slices and place them into a bowl for mashing. Place room temp steak onto sweet potato butter infused pan to cook on
high heat. I scoop out a third of the
vegetable remains from the first pan and pour them through a strainer over a bowl.Put remnants with sweet potatoes and pour liquid back in the first pan. As steak is
cooking I quickly mash the sweet potato slices and place a slice of butter on top when done, let it soak in. When the steaks are almost done I pour the sauce
over them. Put the heat up until I see bubbles and than I turn it off. Leave the steaks to rest in the sauce. Put some left over green onions in the mashed sweets.
Place finished steaks on a plate and the sweets into a bowl. Drizzle all remaining sauce into a small pan and add some flour, add a bit of water, and reduce
it until I have a nice gravy. Pour gravy over sweets and steak. Eat it alone in my studio apartment.
Sounds awesome. Someone actually posting about cooking on /ck/ without a million pictures is refreshing.
Picked up some fresh roasted green chilies from a little supermarket
Peel, deseed, and dice
Heat grape seed oil to medium temp, add a cup of chopped onion
Sauté till soft, add three minced cloves of garlic
1/3 cup of flower slowly added and mixed after the garlic has gotten friendly with the onion
Add quart of homemade chicken stock from the night before
Simmer
Heat cast iron up and roast some cumin and coriander till fragrant
Throw that in the mortar and pestle
Chop up some dried oregano from my garden
Add the cumin/coriander and a teaspoon of oregano
2 cups of green chili
Suimmer for 30 minutes
Immersion blend till it has a gravy consistency
Add corn starch for desired thickness
Put that shit on anything
I poured it over some grilled chicken breast and rice
Ate on my porch
Im sure it tasted good in the end but mashed sweet potatoes with a red wine, jalapeno, and cilantro gravy does not sound like a great combination to me.
Did the "Sweet potato infused butter" actually add anything noticeable to the steak?
Ill do something similar sometimes, but with a red wine mushroom cream sauce. Cook a steak, finishing the cook with basting it with thyme and garlic butter, and while its resting throw some onions and garlic into the same pan. Let it cook for a min and add some mushrooms. Then add whatever herbs you want to throw in, I like rosemary and thyme. Once everything gets soft and the mushrooms lose some moisture add some red wine and let it reduce for a bit and then when thats done add some cream and do the same thing. Dont add too much liquid though, usually only just enough to cover the veggies, or it takes forever to reduce. Sometimes ill add some spinach, sometimes ill throw the steak back in to let it warm back up, most of the time I treat it as a side and serve it with my steak and some sourdough.

Alcohol
Does /ck/ clean their pepper grinders? If so, how often? And what's your preferred method?
i haven't yet but i recently had to take my salt mill apart and clean all the components because it stopped working
>>9039816
Why does she need that giant kitchen with heavy duty stoves?
It's not like she eats or something
Disassemble and run through the dish washer
If there's a bit of stale pepper taste I'll soak it in alcohol for a bit
Are toasted nuts a meme?
Serious question. I tried buying regular nuts and the toasted ones in comparison, and didn't notice a damn difference in flavor. Am I missing something?
Eating raw nuts can upset stomachs. Theres a reason you cook things you idiot.
I believe you may be missing taste buds
>>9039627
What did you toast them with, a fucking hair dryer like some kind of punk bitch?
Why does most recipes tell you to set the oven to like 175-225 celsius when 80-120 is objectively better except for taking twice the time?
>>9039566
Congrats OP, no post will now answer your question and will instead comment on your image
Because recipes are designed for minmaxing the taste and effort of cooking for people, so they have an easy time at home.
If you want gourmet chef shit then go work in the industry.
>>9039614
>gourmet chef shit
my dinners wouldn't even sell for 15€. But they are still much better than if I do it at "normal" temps.
I even think it's less effort since it doesn't matter if I forget about it and it's in there half an hour longer
Guess which meat I had to eat this week, /ck/.

Ready for the oven
I love simple dishes like this burrito bowl I made. It'll last 3-4 days and just keeps getting better.
Whats your favorite throw it all in a pan and serve over rice dish?
>>9039079
Beans.
>>9039079
wait... doesnt the rice tend to get kinda hard, especially when cold. thus neccessitating the need to microwave this bowl, turning your mix of ingredients into a steaming pile of mess to get the rice to be nice and fluffy again?
other than that, do you use canned corn? or do you shuck your own, also how do you prepare your fajitas?
>>9039079
marinate some pork in lime juice, garlic, cumin, and mesquite (Or any seasoning blend, really) seasoning for a few hours. Sweat some bell pepper, onion, and roasted poblanos for a few min and add the pork. Serve with hot sauce over rice.
When im super poor ill cook some ground chorizo and remove from pan. add bell pepper and onion and cook in sausage fat. throw in some canned beans and cook until soft. serve over rice.
Ive also made korean ground beef. Cook ground beef until almost done and remove from pan. Drain almost all of the fat and cook some onions and garlic. Add thinly sliced napa cabbage, a little sesame oil, and chili flake. Add beef back to pan and add some teriyaki sauce (Bulgogi sauce would be better) and toasted sesame seeds.
As a half asian kid who grew up close to the Mexican boarder I have a ton of serve-over-rice recipes.
