    I have been watching your channel for about a month now, after I accidently came across it on UA-cam. You are a joy to watch, you make everything look easy. But the best part is listening to you! You are so down-to-earth, like a good friend in the kitchen. I could listen to you all day! I am 65 and have been cooking since my twenties. I always cooked from scratch because I have seven kids, so it was always cheaper. I have my old stand by recipes. But I have never known techniques. I have tried several of your recipes, and I can tell you my husband has been thrilled and surprised by the better calibre of my menus and how tasty everything is. You are making it fun again for me to be in the kitchen. I have gone to your blog several times to look up a specific dinner idea and then made it the way you show it. Thank you for bringing such delicious joy to a couple of empty nesters!!

    Once again I find myself doing a UA-cam search and, find your video. I, myself, have my culinary degree. You still continue to educate me on steps that are short-cuts that I could not get away with in the hospitality industry. BTW, I would purchase a T-Shirt if it said.... 'Stir your life up with a ridiculous small spoon" That alone speaks volumes.

    This is my first time watching across Food Wishes on UA-cam. I assume that was Chef John doing the narration on this video for the steak and pan sauce bordelaise (which I as an untrained amateur chef in my kitchen will definitely try to do), but I just gotta' say, I LOVE his light-hearted, friendly and very melodic presentation! It's like a best friend who just happens to be a skilled chef is showing you a great trick when he happened to stop over at your place while you were preparing to cook something. Love it! I will subscribe!

    I once salted a ribeye quite heavily and left it on a rack like that for a 10 days curing it. Pan fried it was like crispy beefy bacon. Great for topping steaks.

      crust your steak in kosher salt, thick. then pan fry it on another centimeter (1/3 inch) of salt in a cast iron pan. bodacious.

    Chef John,
    I remember as a young child being at New York’s famous Tavern on the Green (during the Christmas Season) with my Grandparents, watching different dishes being magically Flambéed. It was the reason my Late Husband and l decided to get married wearing Ice-skates in Wollman Rink... And had our reception in the Crystal Room at Tavern on the Green. (Way back in 1984!) Another incredibly video, thank you so very much! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    Yummy! Steak Pauline looks divine! I came up with a technique that turns out perfect every time. Season ribeye steak (Montreal is good 👍 so is just S&P) Cook 4 minutes per side in a screaming hot cast iron skillet with a little Olive oil. When the timer goes off pour balsamic vinegar (about 1/4-1/3c) over the steak. Turn off the heat and as the balsamic is reducing and evaporating flip the steak over and over to loosen the fond and create a glaze. Transfer all to a plate to rest.

  • @michaelham2366
    @michaelham2366 3 роки тому +2

    Lately I've found doing a reverse sear works well and is pretty quick if you do the first (slow, low-temperature) cooking in an air "fryer" (convection oven) at 170ºF for (say)16 minutes, depending on thickness of the steak, and then finish it by briefly searing each side in a hot cast-iron skillet.

    • @iconoclast137
      @iconoclast137 2 роки тому

      the reverse sear has the added benefit over sous vide of drying out the surface so you get better browning. great method! made sous vide obsolete for me

    Sure gonna make some of those with your fantastic crispy onion rings, John. Thank you so much! Btw: with those, I'm still experimenting with spices in the batter. If someone ever comes to Oklahoma City: look out for the restaurants "The cow". Their onion rings are amazing! (The burgers, too!) Last time I was in the US, they had 2 restaurants. About sous vide, I've learned a lot from "Sous vide everything", here on YT.

    I don't know how I've never eaten this, but I came across a cheap cut of meat called a blade steak. Tenderized it overnight and used some salt and pepper to medium rare. It turned out pretty nice. If I see it again, I'll use some of these techniques to see if they'll improve it.

    So I’m just curious if for the stake Diana you recommend the Tenderloin because it’s “so dang tender” as you say but then you have to smash it with a tenderizing hammer which is to tenderize the meat so is it tender or not should I use a different piece of meat

    • @rexeverything4578
      @rexeverything4578 3 роки тому

      "Tender" loin? It's pretty much the best there is. It didn't show using the tenderizing hammer, but I'd guess that it's mainly to get the correct thickness.
      The tenderloin or eye fillet is the most tender cut of any.
