Armchair Dining on DP

Haha, bon appetit!

I'm not a fan, but there's probably a positive element to any traditional cuisine.

 

Tonight's freezer item: mystery braised beef. I think it's the brisket cut? Reheated in vegetable stock, shred it, and stuffed it a baguette for a sandwich.

 

This frozen food looks delicious

 

Which frozen food are you referring to?

 

You will have to forgive @waxz as the chin strap broke on his Reading Comprehension Model tinfoil hat. A broken strap appears to affect said model's overall performance. Otherwise they are a very reliable model indeed.

 

It seems he is referring to @emmaback’s mystery braised beef out of the freezer…

 

You're right. I missed that. It turned out looking quite good for formerly frozen beef.

 

Do you not wear your own products?

 

One must eschew advanced technology occasionally to experience simply being human. Unless, of course, they buy a "Simply Being Human" tinfoil hat, which is what I was wearing at the time.

 

Beware of the cheap knock-offs! He is actually doing more damage than help with his poorly designed solution.

 

He has a lot of legal bills and is now broke. He is not even worth suing, best to leave it alone. You cannot get blood from a stone.

 

I recently tried a Japanese dish called Nikujaga. The two main ingredients are potatoes and meat - my favourite!

This dish reminded me of what my grandmother used to make when I was a child. It made me feel so warm and cosy. I saved the recipe

I've never eaten anything Japanese except sushi rolls, but I really liked the way they use spices and soy sauce, which can make any dish unrealistically delicious!

 

That looks great! What type(s) of meat is used?

 

Chicken. Love it.

 

My favorite Japanese foods tend to center around tempura. Shrimp, chicken, fish, etc. But Nikujaga is definitely now on the list to try. I will be in L.A. and San Francisco on business in a couple of weeks, so I may actually get a chance to go to a Japanese restaurant.

 

Tempura is a brilliant! My wife loves it more than she loves me haha

 

My wife makes the best beef jerky. We just finished a batch. Will make another one soon. We use a regular dehydrator to dry it. It takes a few hours. It doesn't taste its best right away. We cool it down, put it in a ziploc bag and in a day or two it becomes softer and tastier. Any experience in making beef jerky jrbiz?

 

No, but I do have experience eating it. I have seen a few different "flavors" used in the seasoning of store bought jerky. Does your wife use a particular seasoning to flavor it?

 

My wife will get me arrested for posting it here, it's our secret family recipe! jk.

c - cup, T - table spoon, t - tea spoon.

1/4 c - BBQ sauce
1/2 c - soy sauce
1/4 c - worcestershire sauce
2 T - liquid smoke
1/4 c - ketchup
1 T - seasoned salt
2 T - brown sugar
1/2 t - pepper
2 t - onion powder
2 t - garlic powder

Normally, we buy London broil - 2.5 - 3 lb. Slice it however thick or thin you want your jerky to be. Mix the sauce with the meat in a big bowl and marinade it (in the fridge) for at least 24 hours (I'd recommend mixing it again half way through).
