Broccoli Taco Bowls -- back to top
I prepped lunch for the week. It was inspired by Vegetarian Taco Pasta [Shutterbean] but with real beef. This was made a while ago so I may have details wrong
I sautéed/stir-fried broccoli then I pulled it out, browned the beef, and mixed it all. Not bad though I got kind of tired of it after four days!
Curry Broccoli and Chicken -- back to top
Another lunch creation. I sautéed/stir-fried broccoli and I followed Velveted Chicken [The Woks of Life] to velvet some chicken. I mixed with the above sauce into three portions.
I prepped small grilled cheeses to take halves for lunch. Worked well to add variety.
Reverse Seared Steak -- back to top
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.
Chicken and Broccoli in a Blush Sauce -- back to top
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.
Crispy Chili Beef -- back to top
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)
