Steak dinner on me

when I cook steak, I season it only by salt and pepper and and quickly pan fry it on both sides for a few minutes with a knob of butter, but I have recently discovered a steak marinate that gives more flavor and makes the meat more juicy. The original recipe called for a few more ingredients that I didn't have like Dijon mustard so I just made do with what I have on hand.

Balsamic Steak Marinade:

ingredients:
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 1/4 olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- salt and pepper

how to:
- mix everything in a bowl
- marinate steaks overnight and cook as you normally would

with a side of corn kernels and cheesey broccoli and am all set!!

I wanted to make it like a java rice but didn't have the turmeric powder needed to color the rice yellow so I used the curry powder I had instead and liked the mild spicyness flavor it gave the rice.

winner winner chicken dinner!

whenever I don't feel like slaving too much in the kitchen and want something fast and cheap, my go to option is to get a whole Roasted Chicken. Yep, we love our chicken, but you got to admit sometimes store bough roast can be a tad bland and dry. In cases like this I dress it up a bit and throw in some veggies and a sauce to give it more flavor and liven it up. Sweet Chili Chicken Stir Fry ingredients: - half a roasted chicken deboned and the meat cut into strips - 1 cup broccoli florets and stems - 1 medium carrot sliced - 1/2 cup broth or water - 1/2 cup of sweet chili sauce (or more according to your taste) how to: - just toss everything in a work cooking until veggies are crisp tender - best served with hot steamed rice no more bland and dry chicken! this one is saucy, sweet and spicy like chinese take out
