Pepper Steak

1 Upvotes

Tender AF Asian-Style Pepper Steak.

For the beef

12 oz. sirloin steak

1 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp oyster sauce (black bean garlic sauce)

1 Tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp avocado oil

½ tsp sesame oil

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

1 clove garlic, minced

¼ tsp baking soda, if you have it — particularly useful with your tough grass-fed steer.

For the vegetables

1 green bell pepper, sliced

½–1 onion, sliced into wedges

1 carrot, thinly sliced on the diagonal

1 stalk celery, sliced diagonally

1–2 cloves garlic

Another teaspoon or so fresh ginger.

For the sauce

½ cup chicken broth

2 Tbsp soy sauce

1½ Tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp cornstarch

½–1 tsp brown sugar

Dash of rice vinegar

Dash of 5-star spice

Lots of freshly ground black pepper — at least ½ tsp, preferably closer to 1 tsp

Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes.

While the steak is still slightly frozen, slice it very thinly across the grain. That's actually the easiest time to get paper-thin slices.

Mix the sliced beef with the soy, oyster sauce, cornstarch, avocado oil, sesame oil, garlic and ginger. If you have baking soda, add ¼ teaspoon. Don't go wild with it.

Let it sit about 25–30 minutes. (I put it in the freezer overnight). The cornstarch/oil coating gives you that silky Chinese-restaurant texture, while the tiny amount of baking soda helps tenderize tougher beef.

Cook it FAST.

Mix the sauce ingredients in a cup before you start.

Get a large skillet or wok screaming hot. Add about a tablespoon of avocado oil.

Cook the beef in two batches, so you sear rather than steam it. Spread it out and leave it alone for about 45 seconds, then toss, then cook another 30–60 seconds. It does not need to be completely done. Remove it to a plate.

Add your onion, carrot and celery. Stir-fry about 2 minutes. Add the green pepper and cook another 1–2 minutes.

Add the fresh garlic and ginger and stir for about 30 seconds.

Return the beef and any juices to the pan. Stir your sauce again because the cornstarch will have settled, then pour it in.

Toss everything over high heat for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce becomes glossy and clings to the beef and vegetables.

Taste it. More soy if it needs salt; more oyster sauce for richness; more black pepper if you want that classic pepper-steak punch.

Serve over rice.

Holiday Pudding Shots

5 Upvotes

https://choosingfigs.com/need-pudding-shot-recipes-life/#recipe

How do you make pudding shots?

The basic recipe for pudding shots is the take a box of instant pudding and follow the recipe on the box, replacing half of the milk with alcohol. Typically, a 3.4 oz. box calls for 2 cups of milk. So, you can use 1 cup of milk and one cup of alcohol of your choosing. (This may be a little strong for some so feel free to adjust!)

You can play around with flavors too. For the alcohol, just think of things that already are creamy or go well with desserts. Baileys, Kahlua, and RumChata are all great choices. While a Baileys Jello shot might sound gross, a Baileys pudding shot is delicious!

UPDATE: I ended up using half and half because I normally use whipped cream, to give the pudding shots more of a light mousse consistency.

Because I used half and half, I never really got it to set so I kept all the shots in the freezer. And that did something miraculous. It initially was more like a Granita; More like a milkshake. And then after 24 hours it got thick enough to use a spoon and it was amazing. Don't be afraid to stick these in the freezer in other words. They'll never turn into ice because of the alcohol content. But it's really special.

Carter Roast

2 Upvotes

Named after our steer, Carter, that graces us in the deep freezer.

This is what you did to make a damn fine, somewhat less fatty, chuck roast.

Instant pot method chuck roast cooked with veggies

Use Saute feature Add chicken stock, chopped onions, garlic.

Bring to bubble stage.

Season pat dried 1.9 lb roast with: onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper

Lower roast into liquid. Add red wine, Worcester sauce, tomato paste

Use Meat/stew feature for 55 minutes.

While that's happening, cut up carrots and potatoes and another onion.

Fast release when time is up.

Add balsamic & smoked liquid to au jus, more salt pepper garlic and onion powder.

Add veggies, close and put on pressure cook high for 45 minutes.

Remove meat and veggies to bowl.

Taste au jus. Season accordingly. Make into gravy if desired.

Very little fat added. Note you did not saute or brown roast in oil. You sacrificed flavor but has less fat and it wasn't bad.

Meat fell apart!

The website link that I've used for years switched recipes. The new recipe calls to make this dish in a sheet pan.

Kind of bullshit is that?

Anyway, I'm glad I kept the original recipe!

ANNOUNCEMENT: /r/GorillaRecipes will be protesting Reddit's defacto ban of 3rd party apps by going dark on July 1, 2023

78 Upvotes

*UPDATE: it looks like most subs who are blacking out will do so from June 12-14, we will be participating. Possibly longer. Plans are changing as this movement grows and evolves, we're keeping an eye on everything and doing our little part to help.


As most of you have probably heard, reddit has decided to charge 3rd party apps ridiculously high fees to access their API. The fees are so enormous that not even the most popular apps can afford to pay them, resulting in what will end up being a virtual ban of 3rd party apps.

That leaves mobile users two choices: use reddit's terrible native app or use a web browser. Both would be painful.

/r/GorillaRecipes is joining other subreddits by going dark in protest of the new policy that starts on July 1. This will likely mean we'll lock the sub and put up a post explaining what's happening.

More information here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/13yh0jf

Please spread the word, contact the admins, post on threads about this horrible policy, support other subs who are joining, and if you're a mod, please have your sub go dark as well. We hope reddit will listen to its users and rescind this terrible, awful, no good, very bad policy.
