I love the idea of this thread! I am the worst cook ever... I worry for my son (LOL) Can't wait to see some cool ideas!
Such a good idea for a thread. I love to cook/bake and can make the most delectable banana muffins. I use: -1 overly-ripe banana -1 cup greek yogurt -1 cup instant oats -1/4 cup sugar -1 1/2 tsp baking powder -1/4 tsp baking soda Blend everything up there ^ together, then mix in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Bake for 15-20 minutes and voila.
All right yo. You got a girl [or a guy] coming over for dinner, what are you going to do to impress them? Salad? Hah! Nah, you're going to prove why they need you, as a resourceful provider of vital sustenance and an attractive potential mate of breeding age. You're making steak. Step one: Spoiler Option one: Local Butcher Aight, know that store that always smells great when you walk past, and has all the dead things in the window? That's a butchers. Stroll in there like you own the place, and head to the counter. Have a quick glance of what they have on offer. Pretend you know what you're looking at and look all knowledgeable. When the chap behind the counter asks you if he can help, tell him you're looking for a steak to prepare for a young lady and/or gentleman. This chap knows more than you, so listen to his advice, they will know if they have any particularly good cuts available. Eventually, you'll be recommended a Rib-Eye Steak. I know this because that's the best cut of steak and if you say otherwise you're a heathen and a fraud. Cool, buy that. It might be a little bit more than a Sirloin but it's worth the extra price. Option two: No local butcher Drive [or walk, if you're a chump] to your local store. Roll on down to the meat section and browse the steaks. See that 'Frying Steak'? Ignore that crap, its cheap offcuts generally. Pick out a nice juicy Rib-Eye then cruse over to the wine section for step two. Step Two: Partnership Spoiler "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." - Hellen Keller. [She was an author, and those guys are totes smart, so listen to her words 'kay?] Partnership is important, so for that steak you need a wine. Now if you're under the legal age you might need an adult to do this stage for you so suck it up and ask your drunken uncle or something. don't go getting in trouble with the cops kids! Now what you want for a steak is a red wine. I know, I know, you probably think it's disgusting but its refined and your date will be impressed with how you're so 'experienced' and 'mature'. Malbec is ideal for steak. Just ask in the store if they have any. If they don't have a Malbec just grab a Shiraz, it's not a huge downgrade. Don't refrigerate it, leave it on the counter at home and open it when you start cooking the steak, pour after serving the steak. Step three: Augmentation Spoiler That means adding stuff to improve it. Buy the following: Tomatoes [On the vine if possible, around 4-8 will do.] Field Mushrooms Steak-Cut Chips [That's FRIES for you Americans] Peppercorn sauce. [Preferably liquid although the powdered variety is fine too, just takes a bit more work.] Step four: Cook, Serve, Seduce [If appropriate.] Spoiler Got all your ingredients? Good. First things first; this bit takes two hours, so do it early! Stick those tomatoes on a tray, season with salt and cracked black pepper. Set your oven to 50C / 120F and pop the tomatoes in for 2 hours. Set an alarm for 90 minutes then go watch TV or pick up your date. Great, so you've got half an hour until the tomatoes are done. Check the times on those steak-cut chips you bought. Probably about 25minutes. In the oven they go! Don't forget to transfer the tomatoes to a different compartment or they'll burn. If you dont have a different compartment, just take them out for now and pop them back in for 5mins when the chips are almost done. Mushrooms next! Those are the things that look kind of like marshmallows. [They're not.] Lightly splash some vegetable oil over them, and wait until the chips have around 10mins left, then put the mushrooms in the oven for 12minutes. They should be good at the same temp as the chips, and they'll be done at the same time. While you're waiting, lay the table. Spoiler Fork on the left, knife on the right, plate in the middle. Wine glass above the knife. Napkin left of the fork. 'What about the sauce' I hear you crying. Alright alright calm down- stick it in a pan and cook according to instructions. It should only take a few minutes. Now the important part. Slap a frying pan on a high heat and wait until it starts smoking lightly. Season the steak with salt and cracked black pepper, rub with vegetable oil. If your frying pan is big enough, you can cook both at once but be careful as this will cause the heat in the pan to drop. Whack them in. Ask your date how they want their steak. If they're not sure, do it Medium. Cooking times! [These vary, depending on thickness of meat and pan heat] 'I've got something to prove' - Blue: 1 minute each side 'The correct choice' - Rare: 1½ minutes each side 'That's OK too, I guess' - Medium rare: 2 minutes each side 'If you really want' - Medium: 2¼ minutes each side 'I didn't really want steak I wanted leather' - Medium-well done: 2½ – 3 minutes each side If youre a little worried about cooking them right; check this out: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/the_finger_test_to_check_the_doneness_of_meat/ Obviously, don't burn your hand doing this. Everythings done? Cool. Plate some chips, slap the steak on [they should sit for 2-3minutes before eating ideally, this lets the juices soak back into the cooked meat] Stylishly place those mushrooms alongside, and the tomatoes on top. Lightly drizzle a small amount of your sauce on the steak, serve the rest in a gravy jug. Serve your dates plate first, then yours. Pour your date half a glass of wine, then yourself. Place the bottle on your dates right, between the places [You should be facing each other, obviously] Think of Auntie Kitty when they're proposing to you.
Here's a good idea if you ever want to make home made chicken fingers! Ingredients you'll need: 1 Chicken (Boneless breast) 3/4 cup of flour 1 large egg 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Any kind will work my preference is Italian breadcrumbs) 1/3 cup of mozzarella cheese 1 TBSP olive oil pinch of herbs/ salt & pepper Tools you will need: 1 large frying pan 1 Flipper or tongs 2 plates (For flour and breadcrumbs) 1 bowl (for egg) general instruction: for your breadcrumbs mix the breadcrumbs and mozzarella together until well mixed. Make sure to place your measured out flour, egg, and bread crumbs into their own plates/bowl. Step 1: Pour your olive oil into your frying pan Step 2: Start by cutting the boneless chicken breast into strips (Preferably I cut them into longer strips) Step 3: Cover strip of raw chicken in flour Step 4: Cover each strip of raw chick in egg Step 5: Cover each strip in the breadcrumb mixture Step 6: Place each chicken strip into the frying pan Step 7: Repeat steps 3-6 until out of chicken strips Step 8: Fry chicken strips in pan on stove top at medium heat. Make sure to flip them in between so they cook on both sides! Step 9: Make sure they are fully cooked! 165 F (for us 'muricans) or about 74 C Step 10: Enjoy them fingers! I like this recipe mainly because it's a nice healthier alternative for my nephew who does enjoy chicken fingers. He absolutely loves this!
Love it! Sounds delicious and it's super simple, I'll have to try this one. If it needs to be pointed out then there's not a lot of hope although yeah, done.
