I made Crispy Chili Beef [Dean Edwards] using 2/3 lbs top sirloin beef. I slightly adjusted the sauce using 3 Tbsp ketchup and 2 Tbsp sriracha. I also doubled the garlic and ginger. I used serrano peppers and added them with the sauce as opposed to as a garnish in the video. I also only did 15 grams of sugar, not 30. I realized I used the wrong kind of sauce. I used sriracha but I should have used the sweet chili sauce. Maybe I will try again soon.

I thought I followed the set up for the beef and it was good but certainly not crispy. I probably needed more corn starch!

While not crispy, I did like it a lot! It was a nice amount of food (probably a bit too much for one but I didn't have sides)

Chicken and Broccoli in a Blush Sauce

Sunday, March 31, 2024, 06:04 PM

This was my lunch prep for the week. I again velveted chicken (1.5 lbs). I used 2 Tbsp water and 1 Tbsp soy sauce.

While doing that, I stir-fried and steamed broccoli. I used an entire can of Raos plus 1/2 cup heavy cream to make a blush sauce. I probably could have skipped the cream but I like the added flavor and it only adds about 100 cal/serving for each of the four servings.

Reverse Seared Steak

I reverse seared a well-salted NY Strip steak with a mix of ghee then butter. In the butter, I added garlic and dried rosemary. After it was done, I drained a lot of the fat (it had kind of burned). While the steak rested, I sautéed/stir-fried broccoli adding a bit of the flavored fat.

It was good but still nowhere near restaurant quality I was going for.
