1ยฝ pound sirloin steak (cut into bite size pieces, or strip loin, tenderloin, strip steak or rib eye)
ยฝ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
ยฝ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
ยผ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon parsley (fresh, chopped)
Instructions
Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over high heat. Make sure the olive oil is hot, then add the steak pieces to it. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
Cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring the steak pieces. You want to make sure you get a good sear on them. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until theyโre golden brown. If your skillet isnโt big enough, you may need to do this batches.
Transfer the steak bites to a plate and in the same skillet add the butter. Turn the heat down to a medium and after the butter has melted, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds while stirring, just until the garlic becomes aromatic and starts to brown.
Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and toss well. Garnish with parsley and serve.
2 teaspoons tomato bouillon , granulated, or cubes*
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 carrot, , diced
1/2 cup peas, (frozen or fresh)
3 cups water
1-3 whole serrano peppers, , optional
Instructions
Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oil. Once hot, add the rice and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly golden brown all over (about 10 minutes).
Add tomato sauce, garlic, and diced onion to the pan. Stir. Add tomato bullion, salt, carrots, peas, and water (and serrano peppers, if using. They add a little flavor, but not spice.).
Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes or until the water is completely absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
First start off by preparing the vegetables for your Gyoza Tane (mixture) - cut ยผ of a cabbage into small pieces (you can leave some big pieces in for a nicer texture), and finely cut onion, negi green onion and nira garlic chives - add these all to a mixing bowl
Grate ginger and garlic into the bowl and then add to the other vegetables
In a separate mixing bowl add 140g of minced pork (I used 70g of a rough mince and 70g fine mince) - mix well.
Add your vegetables from before and soy sauce, sesame oil and a pinch of salt and pepper, mix those all until thoroughly combined
Now, take a gyoza wrapper and then place a spoonful of mix slightly off-center to the right on top. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch one end, keep in place with your thumb - use your index fingers to โcrawlโ up the gyoza making 4-5 folds before securely pinching both ends of the gyoza - repeat for the rest of your mix
In a frying pan, add a tbsp of sesame oil and while heating to a medium high add your gyoza in a circle pattern
Wait until all of the Gyoza start to turn a nice golden brown on the bottom and then add 50ml of water, put a lid on the pan and let steam for 3 minutes
Once the gyoza has steamed for 3 minutes, take off the lid and give the pan a shake to make sure nothing has stuck, then keep frying on medium until all liquid has dissolved
Take a large plate and place on top of the frying pan, then flip them over
Enjoy your Gyoza with a simple โtareโ sauce - 1:1 soy sauce and vinegar!
