Any good taco recipes? I'm off tomorrow and would like to make some delicious tacos for my life partner. She is from Texas so keep that in mind - she won't be fooled by any lovely yankee tacos.

What happened to the slow cooking thread? There was a chicken stew recipe I wanted to try in there.

I have some uh, I think they're eye of round? Steaks that I bought and cooked like I would a regular steak, and I regretted it because they were kinda tough and i don't want to eat the two I have left. What can I do with them? Was thinking of throwing them in the slow cooker with some mushrooms and onions, bit of water, garlic, whatever. Is there any way I can tenderize then and like, throw them in a sandwich or somethign? To clarify, these two steaks are already cooked, threw em on a cast iron thing with salt and pepper

Yeah, eye round is a pretty sad cut. I would chop it up and make nachos.

Huh, don't have any chips but I have tortillas, cilantro, and some sour cream, might make a couple tacos. Should've thought of that myself, thanks.

Your other posts in here are looking for how to use a slow cooker and what to do with a piece of beef you don't know how to cook.

Maybe take it easy dishing out advice like "don't sous vide".

You should probably read my posts if you're going to be a weirdo and search for them. The beef was cooked already. Don't sous vide, it isn't worth the difficulty or food borne illnesses.

When I make homefries the ones in the center of my pan cook the fastest and end up burnt. How do I cook my home fries more evenly is what I'm asking. I don't do anything special to them, I just throw oil and potatoes into the pan.

...stir them?

My dad taught me not to stir home fries.

Unless you happen to have enough oil for the oil itself to convect your fries (in which case you're actually making french fries), you'll inevitably have to stir them a bit. You could even outright stir fry them and probably get better results than not stirring at all.

Also, parboiling them beforehand will help a lot for cooking them more evenly. Just 3-5 minutes, depending on the size of your cuts.

I'll try that next time. I cut em tiny.

What kind of pan do you use? If it's a very thin nonstick pan then that may worsen hot-spots. Getting a bigger pan well pre-heated should help out the evenness a bit.

I've made them with a cast iron skillet and a cheap non stick one, the same thing happens either way. I'll try preheating my cast iron.

Wait, Darth Windu, are you putting the potatoes into a cold pan?

H*ck no.

My first attempt at making a homemade breakfast bar ended up not so good, things I needed to do different: use a smaller pan (ended up too thin), don't forget the mashed cherries this time (I had planned to use the cherries to replace alot of the sugar in the recipe I thought up, it's a basic quick bread recipe with some additions and modifications)

Have a recipe?

I used to only keep AP flour around the house, but with the GF's influence, I now stock bread flour and cake flour.

Does it make a difference which one I use for a roux?
Is the extra protein a good thing or a bad thing for sauces?

It really doesn't matter for a roux. You should always be watching roux as it cooks anyway.

No idea about the sauce question.
