Holy Sh*t. I think I just had a food orgasm.

This looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo crazy delicious.

Was it slow-cooked? (Oven/Dutch Oven? Stovetop?) Instant-potted? Detailed recipe PLS!

Thank you! And I made this on the stovetop! Here's the recipe:

Ingredient:

• 1 red onion
• 4 large cloves of garlic
• Red wine
• 4 roma tomatoes (throw in blender until fully broken down)
• 1 -2 tablespoons of aji panca
• beef (obviously)
• potatoes
• carrots

Seasonings

• S&P
• Adobo
• garlic powder
• cumin
• beef bouillon
• oregano
• 1 bay leaf

Directions:

1. In a little oil pan sear beef on all sides until slightly brown then remove and set aside.
2. In the same pan saute onions in a little olive oil until translucent then add garlic until slightly golden.
3. Add the Tomato sauce you made in the blender to the pan and then add the aji panca and cook mixture for 2 - 3 minutes.
4. Season mixture with all seasonings above and mix well while cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
5. Add beef and all its juices to the pan, coat all the meat well and then pour in some red wine. I eyeballed this but Id say I added about a cup.
6. Cook beef in the sauce for another 2 minutes and then add lots of Water and then cover the pot.

I cooked the beef a little over an hour and kept adding water as it got low. I think I added water about 3 times and on the last time when the water was low but not too low I added the carrots, let those cook then added the potatoes.

When I saw the potatoes were almost done I added a little bit more wine, about 1/2 cup more and let the alcohol simmer away.

I wanted my sauce thicker so in a small cup I added some water with a tablespoon of corn starch, mixed, then slowly added my cornstarch water to the pot until it was to thick to my liking. I didnt end up using all the cornstarch water.

Note: Throughout I kept tasting and adjusted the seasonings as needed.

Penne Alfredo (for my BF) This Pasta is made out of red lentil flour only. The instructions say to cook for 7-9 minutes but I found that it needs maybe 10-12 minutes to be tender otherwise it’s molto al dente.
I tried about 10 pieces and they were ok. I still don’t like pasta even though I love red lentils. It’s the texture for me.

@GreenTealael : I loooooooooove those mini sweet peppers. I could probably eat 1/2 bag if I took my time. YUM. Also, does BF prefer the alt Pasta vs. regular pasta?

@MarvelGirl25 : thanks for the recipe lady! What cut of beef did you use? Also, you should really consider authoring a food blog or YouTube channel. Your food is ridiculously awesome looking. ❤️🤤

Yum!! I love chaffles but with only a Belgium waffle maker, they don't look as pretty. Which recipe did you use?

I used this one... bit calorific as it’s per chaffle. I’m going to try just the cheese and egg one later

[froufrou 678]

I’ve come back to say the cheese and egg chaffle is so bad in comparison with the one I made last night. I will have to count the calories in with the almond flour.

I really wanted Soup but my BF is a vegetarian so Tofu noodle soup and lazy biscuits. (Traditional noodles and flour used)

and tofu soup w/o noodles. I didn’t want noodles in my soup and also didn’t drink the liquid

I made a batch of Instant Pot Beef Chili for the fam tonite, but since I don't like Beans, I just ate a bowl of the toppings instead. I also picked out a few chicken chunks from a 3 day old salad still in the fridge to Protein it up a bit, lol

Cheddar, Jalapenos, Sour Cream, Hot Sauce, Leftover Chicken Chunks: 145 Calories. Ate it all.
