anyway, chuck is good. shank is the best tbh, it's a good meat to put in a stew. also the connective stuff is good for you.

We had steak all the time growing up

Steak and corn

I asked my dad a few weeks ago what his favorite steak was as a kid

He was from a family of nine and he said "I never had steak when I was a kid. Fried chicken was what we looked forward to. That was a feast to us."

They had one of those steel milk dispensers like you see in diners in their kitchen where you move that weight back a little and milk gushes out of the nipple thing that goes up into it in the bag.

Him and his brother used to go catch frogs so that his mom would make frog legs but she told them to stop getting frogs because she didn't like how the legs twitched in the pan when she was frying them

One time I was over at a friends house and they were having boiled hot dogs. I asked him why his family was always eating boiled hot dogs and he said NOT EVERYONE CAN BE RICH LIKE YOU. I wasn't rich, he was just dirt poor with a mom who refused to work and a dad who was a world class alky

gettin lamby in my house today. the slow cooker is far too small for the big ol' shank I put in there, but maybe it'll reduce down a bit as it cooks. I just went through the fridge and chopped up all the veg we had. so there's a leek, some celery, two parsnips, a courgette, and some baby corn in there, along with salt and pepper and a beef stock cube. i think it's gonna taste good :grin:

Is that the worlds biggest lamb or baby corn

I did lamb shanks a while ago and they were like half the size of that one

I love to eat lambs

A cool way to do lambs is to sear the shanks and then simmer them in pomegranate juice, just buy one of those jumbo Pom things at Costco and dump it in there. Persians do that. You put some spices on there too like what you'd expect for the region (cumin, cinnamon, clove, garlic). Add a little chopped dried fruit at the end and people will think you know some secret but in reality all you know is to associate with the enemy at every opportunity

Also a ton of sumac on some lamb grilled is a delight, you can find it in the hippie store usually it's a red powder, tastes like a savory lemon, it's a huge spice in the middle east and often the missing flavor part from the lebbo place that you can't replicate at home for some reason

they are baby corn, but it was quite a big shank

here it is now, about ten hours later. the meat all fell off the bone so I took it out so I could get the lid of the dang pot on.



the lighting is horrible and it doesn't look very appetizing, but you'll just have to take my word for it that it is delicious as heck

I'll give the beef about 2 hrs with the leek, garlic, red wine, tomat, star anise, bay if I hadn't forgotten to get some bay

Later i will do some skimming, add carrot and mushroom, shortly after that yucca

Finish with the bacon whose grease I rendered for the browning, frozen peas and frozen corn, and more garlic as fresh garlic is very different from cooked

I'm doing beef in two batches in a stainless steel pan, adding flour early is asking to burn the fond

Instead of that before (some people do it at the same time, probably doesn't matter) you add the onions you drain off some of the fat and dust flour directly into what you kept back to make a kind of roux

More reliable, better control

Also not all browning is the same. Maillard on beef is different than maillard on flour. I want to get the beef browned as much as possible, you can always cheat it up prn with flour later on (or just thicken with a starch slurry) you only get one shot at the beef

I also love broth and the yucca will thicken a lot so for this approach you don't want to go full stew from the start unless you're 100% sure of your amounts which I never am, which is part of why I hate most baking

you could always make roux at the beginning using slightly more flour than you think you will need, take it out, then add the roux back at the end of cooking until it's thick enough for you.

That's true French people do those loving roux balls things they add in as they like too

My habit is to do some flour type stuff early (to respect the mighty wheat, King of all grains) and then adjust at the end with a slurry
