BEEF
Amarillo Ground Beef: September 16, 2014
Silly name, really; the recipe is based on the popular Peruvian Yellow Chili Pepper (Aji Amarillo), and this recipe hasn’t any in it. Nor is it really yellow – tho’ mebbe it is kinda golden-y, so there’s that. Nice change from regular biscuits and gravy.
Ants Climbing a Tree: March 5, 2013
Good with ground beef, but better, I think, with pork; and do try using hot chili sesame oil at the beginning and the end to bump up the heat (and the flavor) just a little bit.

Brisket, Mrs. Maisel’s: May 18, 2020
Brisket, Not Your Nonna’s: March 9, 2016
This riff on traditional Mexican Machaca is dry braised in a very slow oven, so the meat comes out nice and tender, but without all the fatty flavor associated with traditional braising.

Crêpes, Stuffed Manicotti-Style: June 11, 2013
Where to put this recipe? I made this version vegetarian, though the original called for a meat sauce; and in place of pasta tubes, we’re using crêpes, those lovely, thin French pancakes. *sigh* Just resign yourself to finding this, praticular recipe in just about every section of this here table o’ frikkin’ contents. We strive for nothing if not overkill.
Parfait! Crêpes, Stuffed Manicotti-Style: August 15, 2014
I added sun dried tomatoes to the crêpes, beef to the pasta sauce, and used whipped cottage cheese as the base for the filling. Nice!

Parfait! Beef Stroganoff: July 31, 2013
Certainly spicier than your traditional, and this version might could be considered just a wee, tiny bit lighter than my original, because I have cut down on the amount of sour cream used. As always, I use REAL sour cream; that ‘lite’ and ‘reduced whatever’ stuff is loaded with stuff you really do not want to have with your dinner. Well, we don’t.
