Strip Steak With Lemon Mashed Potatoes

It did not taste how I expected. And was way to lemony. Almost a fail if not for my cooking sister who saved the dinner. But thank you for the recipe and for trying to help make a great dinner

Followed the directions exactly minus turning on my oven lol.
It was delicious!!!
Definitly be making it again soon

Easy and fairly quick to make. The potatoes are surprisingly good. The peas make it more nutritious and add color. I also added some dill after I mashed them.  Steak was tender and delicious.

Meat and potatoes come together with savory curry powder in this super simple weeknight curried ground beef skillet.

Curried Ground Beef with Peas and Potatoes

garlic, minced (0.32)

ginger

Tbsp cooking oil (0.08)

Tbsp curry powder (0.30)

tsp turmeric (0.10)

tsp crushed red pepper (optional) (0.02)

beef

russet potato (¾ lb.) (0.63)

beef broth (0.13)

peas (0.50)

salt (0.02)

green onions, sliced (optional) (0.22)

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and cooking oil to a large deep skillet. Sauté the garlic and ginger over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the curry powder, turmeric, and crushed red pepper and sauté for one minute more.

Add the ground beef to the skillet with the spices and sauté until the beef is cooked through.

While the beef is cooking, peel and cube the potato into ½-inch pieces.

Add the cubed potato and beef broth to the skillet. Stir to combine with the ground beef. Place a lid on the skillet and turn the heat up to medium-high. Allow the broth to come up to a boil.

Once the broth reaches a boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and allow it to continue to simmer for 10 minutes with the lid in place (stir occasionally). After ten minutes, the potatoes should be tender. Remove the lid and simmer for a few more minutes, or until most of the broth is evaporated.

Finally, stir the frozen peas into the beef and potato mixture and heat through. Give the curry beef a taste and add salt to taste (about ½ tsp). Top with sliced green onions and serve hot.

My take on the classic - shepherd's pie! Of course, like with any of my other recipes this shepherd's pie is loaded with herbs and spices to give it the best flavor. Finally, we'll top it off with the cheesiest Irish cheddar mashed potatoes your shepherd's pie has ever seen!

cook the meat and veggies: heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground lamb and crumble the meat using a wooden spoon.

I make classic beef stroganoff to a whole different level by using a slow-braised chuck roast that is fall-apart tender, and then cook the noodles in the drippings. This is not your grandma&#x27;s stroganoff. Or maybe it is, in which case, I really like your Grandma.

Cook for 3-4 hours at 325. If in an oven, covered. If in a pellet grill, uncover for the first half of the cooking time.

Cook until the roast is fall-apart tender. How long, exactly, that this will take depends upon your roast, your oven or grill, and the tilt of the world that given day. Or something. Point being, if it isn't tender yet just cook it longer. Tender means, you can stick a fork in it and pull out bites easily and without resistance.

Remove the large chunks of celery and carrots...

Remove the large chunks of celery and carrots from the mix and discard. Pull out the roast and clean it of any remaining fat or gristle pieces that didn't get tender and melt into the meat.

While the roast is out of the pan,...

While the roast is out of the pan, you need to get a feel for how much liquid is in the pan. If you need to measure it, do, but I usually just eyeball it. The key is that you need at least 8 cups of liquid to cook one pound of egg noodles and still have sauce left to throw a stick at. So make sure that's a thing. A little more is fine. A little less is also fine. Either way, you're going to be keeping an eye on this thing until it is eating time.

Next, bring that ≥ 8 cups of liquid...

Next, bring that ≥ 8 cups of liquid up to a simmer and toss in those old-fashioned egg noodles. Stir frequently, and keep an eye out. If it is getting to the end of the cook time and your liquid is looking sad, throw in some more liquid. Ideally, beef broth, but water will also work. There's a lot of beef flavor to go around here.

Cook until the noodles are tender, and then...

Cook until the noodles are tender, and then give everything a stir. The sauce will have thickened a bit from the starch in the noodles. If it is thick enough for your liking, proceed in replacing the meat and mixing in that sour cream. If it is NOT as thick as you want it to be, you'll need to keep it at a simmer and then mix in the slurry.

Go slow when slurrying. You can't be totally...

Go slow when slurrying. You can't be totally sure how much you will need since this sauce is so flexible, so take it easy and stir the whole time and wait until it thickens to add more.

When your sauce is legit, mix everything together...

When your sauce is legit, mix everything together and serve with some salad and rolls.

A hearty meal of braised ground pork, potato, and Chinese flavors served over rice is a unique and different take on meat and potatoes.

Braised Ground Pork &amp; Potatoes (Chinese “Meat and Potatoes”)

Shaoxing wine

soy sauce

white pepper

mushrooms mushrooms

potatoes

neutral oil ((such as vegetable or canola oil))

ginger ((minced))

oyster sauce

spicy bean sauce ((spicy bean sauce doubanjiang

¼ teaspoon five spice powder

garlic ((minced))

onion ((chopped, about 1 cup / 160 g))

vegetables broccoli

Salt ((to taste))

scallions ((chopped))

Rinse the dried shiitake mushrooms, then soak them in hot water for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Squeeze out the liquid and reserve it for later (you’ll use the liquid later in the recipe). Trim away any tough stems, and dice the mushrooms into ½-inch pieces.

Use store-bought ground meat, or use our hand-chopped meat technique, which will yield the best texture. Add the meat to a medium bowl along with the marinade ingredients: water, Shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, and white pepper. Mix well until the meat has absorbed the marinade, and set aside for 15-20 minutes. 

After peeling and dicing the potatoes, soak them in a bowl of cold water if you’re not cooking them right away. This prevents oxidation (i.e. the potatoes turning brown).

Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the minced ginger and mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. 

Add the pork, and increase the heat to high. Break up any large chunks with your spatula, cooking until the meat is opaque and lightly browned. Stir in the Shaoxing wine to deglaze the wok or pan. 

Next, add the potato cubes (drained), oyster sauce, bean sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, white pepper, five spice powder, and water, using the mushroom soaking water (be careful to avoid any sediment from the mushrooms) and adding additional fresh water so you have 1½ cups total. 

Stir well, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 5 minutes—until the potato is just about cooked through.

Stir in the garlic, onion, and your choice of vegetables. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes until the potatoes and vegetables are tender (note that denser vegetables like carrots and broccoli stems may take an additional 1-3 minutes to cook). Add more water—up to an additional ½ cup—if needed to prevent the sauce from drying out. 

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Salt to taste. Stir in the chopped scallions. Serve with steamed rice. Enjoy!
