    **RECIPE, SERVES SIX**
    1 3 lb (1.36kg) beef chuck roast
    2 shallots
    2 jalapeños
    vinegar (you'll need 1-2 cups, 236-473mL)
    sugar (maybe a quarter cup, 50g)
    oil
    salt
    pepper
    mustard
    salad greens (maybe 100g per person)
    Cut the roast into a few thick steaks (with the meat fibers running up and down instead of side to side). Just cut it into big pieces that are easy for you to handle - they'll break apart into smaller chunks as you cook. Coat them in oil and a very generous seasoning of salt and pepper - it should seem like there's a little too much salt on them.
    Lightly brown the meat in a big pan. Pour in enough water to almost cover the meat, cover the pan with a lid or foil, get the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until the meat is almost falling apart - I did about five hours.
    While you're waiting, you can cut the shallots and peppers into thin slices, put them in a bowl and nearly cover them with vinegar. Stir in a big handful of sugar (don't worry if it doesn't all dissolve immediately), cover and refrigerate. They'll taste like pickles in about a half hour, but longer is better - up to a week.
    Gently fish the meat out of the pan, breaking it up as little as possible, and let the pieces dry/steam-off on paper towels for a few minutes. If there's still a lot of water in the pan, you could turn up the heat and reduce the liquid down a little bit now, but stop before it starts thickening into a glaze. Pour the liquid into a narrow vessel (a glass or measuring cup), holding back any gross chunks at the bottom of the pan.
    When the meat is dry and has stopped steaming, transfer it off the paper towels, cover it and put it into the refrigerator. Cover the liquid and refrigerate that as well. (You can do all of this first-thing the morning of dinner, or days before.) Chill until the meat is firm and the fat on top of the braising liquid has gone totally solid.
    When you're ready to actually make dinner, take the liquid out and lift the fat puck off the top. You could use that fat to re-sear the meat later, but make sure you scrape off any trace of broth or meat bits clinging to the bottom of the puck. (Any remaining water in the fat will spit as you heat it up to searing temperature.) Alternatively you could just throw the fat away, or you could melt it and use it as the oil in the salad dressing you're about to make.
    Pour the de-fatted broth into a pan and pour in about half of the accumulated juice from your bowl of sweet pickles. Bring to a boil and reduce to a glaze, keeping in mind that it'll thicken a lot more as it cools to eating temperature. (This would be a good time to prep your salad greens.) Be sure to stir it frequently once it starts to really thicken - the sugar is liable to stick to the bottom of the pan and burn. Turn the heat off and let the glaze just sit in the warm pan until you need it.
    Make a vinaigrette for your salad by mixing more of your sweet pickle juice with a little mustard and however much oil you like - I do equal parts pickle juice and olive oil.
    In a wide pan, heat a thick film of oil (or your rendered beef fat, assuming you got all the watery stuff scraped off of it) over moderate heat. Take your cold beef out of the fridge, tear off a little chunk and taste for seasoning. (If it seems to need more salt, you could season the pieces, or your could season the glaze.) Lay the pieces in the hot oil and brown them gently on both sides until golden and the interior of the meat feels soft and reheated.
    Take the pan off the heat and the meat can sit in there for a few minutes while you get your plates ready and dress your salad (if you want to dress it in advance). Plate each portion of drained meat with some salad and drained pickles. Either spoon the glaze over the meat at the last second or serve it in a little cup on the side.

Been cooking for 30 years by experimenting since I was a child, never followed a recipe even if I have cooking books, I just buy them and they stay on the shelves. I must admit though that cooking is a ensemble of a lot of techniques that can make you way better and help your imagination.

      You can leave it on unsupervised for the temperature to reach into thousands of Celsius, but you'll have bigger problems than fire if you let it happen.

    This method of preparation really reminds me a lot of traditional carnitas with a few extra steps, just applied to chunks of beef. I'm a big fan of cutting 1.5-2 inch cubes of pork shoulder, barely covering with water and going with a teaspoon of kosher salt in the water per pound of meat, and essentially braising (mixing occasionally as it reduces) until the water has entirely evaporated and the rendered fat remains for frying, after which the pork will quickly begin taking on a crust and break up into bite size chunks/shreds as you stir it. Super easy, all done in the same pot with no fuss and ready to be used in tacos or essentially anywhere you'd put pulled pork, a versatile meat base for all kinds of meals. Restaurants here will often do a similar process but instead of braising in water, they basically confit the pork in a vat of fat and then turn the whole thing up to deep frying temp once the desired internal texture is reached to add a crust.

    I did a very similar thing when I accidentally sliced up a point of smoked brisket with the grain and it looked just like bacon. So I fried it up like bacon and it's amazing! My smoking method for brisket and chuck is kinda similar as well: get it smokey (6hrs in the smoker @180), get it tender (24 hours in the sous vide @155), get it crispy (5 minutes in a broiler).

  • @Z020852
    @Z020852 3 года назад +5

    There are two things similar to this in the Philippines: crispy tadyang (short ribs) and shank steak (not just the cut, which are normally used for soup; these are served on iron plates just like OG steakhouses there).
    For the first: you basically simmer the meat in liquid that in Korean terms is like half galbitang and half galbijjim (in Japanese terms, think beef shoyu ramen); when tender, take it off the heat but leave them in the sauce to cool, then refrigerate. Then pat dry and deep fry to crisp up the exterior, keeping the interior pink. It's often served with pickled papaya.
    The shank steak is closer to this recipe. You make a beef+mushroom gravy out of the cooking liquid where you simmered the beef (along with garlic, maybe some soy sauce but not as much as with ribs), cool and dry off, refrigerate, then pan fry and serve on a sizzling plate with gravy all over.
    Both were prompted by historically being behind the whole world when it comes to beef quality that traditional beef dishes are either tenderized stews or ceviche. I mean, it took Japan and Korea less than a century to come up with tender beef, this country is still at "trying to breed enough Angus and Japanese stock from Australia" (ie they haven't figured out that hardier Argentine and Texas cattle are probably a better idea for the heat in their climate).

    Just finished this recipe. I did it with one big difference. Though I seared the beef in a pan initially, broiled the beef right up against the flame at the end because I didn't feel like frying the beef again. I brushed some olive oil on the beef pieces to sort of simulate frying a bit. Imho it worked fairly well. The beef was a bit drier than it would be frying, but does that matter when you've got a glaze? Tasted great to me! Thanks Adam!

    Hey Adam, now that you've got a gas stove, you might want to reconsider your previous stance on deep frying at home and try doing it in a flat-bottomed wok with a relatively smaller amount of oil over a relatively higher flame. It solves basically all the concerns you raised in your previous deep frying video, and it's pretty much what every Asian home cook already does, to great effect and with minimal muss and fuss.

    • @SylviaRustyFae
      @SylviaRustyFae 2 года назад

      Tho it does introduce the scary risk of a lot of oil over the gas stove's open flame; but thats rly a superficial risk unless someone knocks it over. Which is just grounds to make a rule sayin no one but the cook in the kitchen, period, when deep fryin occurs. That mitigates most risk.
      Tho i myself wud nvr risk it personally, not bcuz i think its a major risk; but bcuz i am accident prone as a dyspraxic person and cud foresee an incident occurrin where i either splash the oil out of the wok or else tip the wok entirely.
      But for most cooks with good fine motor control and who trust their bodys abilities; deep fryin at home is perf safe in a wok.

    A similar technique is some times used in Filipino adobo recipes. They will stew/braise the meat in vinegar/soy braising liquid. Then remove the meat, and crisp it up in a frying pan while reducing the braising liquid to thicken it. The crisped meat is served with the thickened sauce. It's not the most common way, but some families do it that way.

    So basically what you've discovered is fine dining. A lot of high-end restaurants will cook the meat before in stock or sous-vide method. Chill it (usually inside the juice/broth) so some of that flavour and juice is absorbed back into the meat. Once it's chilled, they'll take the meat out from the jelly, portion it into desired portions and get it ready for service. They'd make a sauce out of jelly ready for service. And when you are ready to go, they'll simply sear the portioned chunks of beef, pork belly, you name it. It's basically to speed up the service process during busy hours. So yeah your method is great. The only thing I'd change is to chill the meat in the broth it will be even juicer. Also maybe season the broth with some nice rosemary or bay leaf?
