Sweet Thai Chili Tenderloin

Sweet Thai Chili Pork Tenderloin is one of my favorite cuts of meat, and as my friend Tony is famous for saying, eat like a pig,. Well Tony, I think I will, its not a hard thing to cook, takes some time yes, but its well worth it.

In here I’m using cast iron, if your not, it may take a bit longer, and when it comes to baking use a baking tray.

Phase 1 Get the loins ready!

You want to make sure that you are coating all sides with oil, minced ginger and garlic, and paprika salt and pepper.

Phase 2 Sauce me up baby!

In a bowl mix the following.

  1. Honey.
  2. Lo Salt.
  3. Cracked Pepper.
  4. Thai Chili Sauce.
  5. Apple Cyder Vinegar (only a small amount).
  6. Roasted Sesame oil (only a small amount).
  7. Dutch sweet soya sauce.

Mix it all up good,

Phase 3 Sear it.

Piece by piece sear all sides of it until its seared but not cooked.

Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees, (while cooking this take your time and pay attention to your food as everyone’s oven is different and you don’t want to burn this.)

Phase 4 Bake It!

Coat the top with the sauce, and then bake it for 12 minutes, after 12 minutes take it out and flip it and put more sauce over the next side and bake for the final 12 min.

Phase 5 Finishing it up!

Once its done cooking, wait about 10 minutes before doing anything, if you cut into it right away the juices are going to escape and it just won’t taste right!

After 10 minutes start slicing it into thin strips, and your done! Serve this with potatoes, maybe rice, what ever you want, and any veggie you want!

We hope you enjoy this, this is almost my favorite slice of meat ever!

Egg Potato Salad

One of my favorite snacks or sides in the world is the Egg Potato salad, its tasty, easy to make, and we usually have everything needed to make it, you can make this a million different ways, none is wrong, and we can make this to your preference, and if your name is Quo-Fan you can even add some hot chili peppers in it, nothing stopping you.

Phase 1 Cooking and prepping

First off we are going to take 5 large russet potatoes and chop them up into small chunks, skin on, and your going to ask why would you leave the skin on, well, thats simple the reason is because the skin is rich in iron, and can help a lot of people, so lets leave the skin on.

We are going to boil these potatoes for 12 minutes, or until they are soft, everyone’s stove is different so the results are going to vary, so keep an eye on them.

Chop up 1 large white onion, if you want to be brave you can use more.

Hard boil 6 eggs, these usually take 12 minutes for us.

Take a can of pineapple and drain the liquid (In a cup for you to drink the juice is the best).

Phase 2 More prep

After the potatoes and eggs are done, let them cool for a while, they need to be cool, not hot or warm.

Once cool, add the potatoes to a large bowl.

Deshell the eggs, and chop them up into pieces and add them to the bowl.

Add the pineapple.

Add the onions.

Add lots of black pepper.

Add half a cup of white vinegar.

and add lots of mayo, (Miracle whip should be your last resort.) make sure you have enough so that it has a rich full consistency, it should have a lot of mayo.

Store this in a fridge covered for a bit and let it go cold.

This honestly is one of my favorite things to eat, and you can actually classify this as a vegan dish if you want, I love it a lot and tastes great, we hope you enjoy!

Bison Burger

Ever wonder what the best burger is? Is it Wagu, it probably is, but honestly its far out of most peoples price range, and isn’t so easy to find or afford, with out blowing your whole pay check on one meal, there is an alternative, and that is Bison, Bison is very regulated, and farmers are not allowed to do the same thing they do with cattle which means that there are no growth hormones’ or any other chemical, so bison is a lot better for you, along with the fact that it is very lean, so it one of the best tasting burgers you can get for your money hands down.

This is one reason you want a very high performance food processor, when Aimee and I want ground beef, we don’t buy ground beef, we buy steak, roast or other meats and grind it into ground beef.

Some times when you find Bison meat, its not ground for you, but rather steaks, or cubes, so if you want burgers you have to grind it yourself, and this is why having a good food processor is important, so you can make your own ground beef.

If you never had Bison before I urge you to take a moment and try this recipe as you won’t be disappointed, this is absolutely the best burger your ever going to eat.

Phase 1 Wheres the Beef

Take your bison meat and simply put it into the food processor, no spices at all, just pure meat, grind it up until its a consistency of ground beef.

Take the meat out and start forming them into patties, we like smash burgers so we just made Bison balls.

You want to leave this sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before you cook, in the mean time oil a frying pan up and heat it up so when your ready to cook its hot and waiting.

While we are waiting for the patties to come to room temperature we shall make some sauce.

Phase 2 Sauce Me!

In a bowl pour in a lot of mayo, (don’t worry you can save this for future use to.)

put in a small amount of apple cyder vinegar

Put in a bit of ketchup

Put in some mustard

I would put some dill pickles in the food processor and then put this in too.

And give it a good mix and make sure its all incorporated.

Phase 3 Cook the burgers

Fry up your burgers on the last flip put on a slice of good quality cheese, you took your time to make such a high quality burger you want to make sure your using good cheese, don’t cheap out here.

Phase 4 Putting it together

Ok, so its time to put this all together, grab your favorite bun and lets layer.

First we are going to put some lettuce then a bit of sauce.

Your burger, and if you want some more cheese, do her up.

More sauce, tomato, onion, and lettuce and finally the bun.

Thats it folks, your friends should be jelous you have the best burger around, and I promise you, if you serve this to your friends and family, they will absolutely think your the best cook in the world!

You can add some hot sauce to your burger sauce if you want, but personally I don’t think its the best idea in the world, to me it distracts from the flavor of the meat,

Service this with some corn and some homemade French fries!

I hope you enjoy this, drop me a line if you have made this, let me know what you think!
