This is probably the easiest way to make a pseudo smash patty.

So essentially you take 500 grams of beef mince and use a burger presser to smash it down.

I pressed it down until it fit the whole pan.

Salt liberally.

I then cooked it until I started to smell burning because I'm too lazy to set a timer.

Flip.

Cook again til you smell burning.

And Voila.

Plate and pour residual fat and wait about 5 mins so the meat can marinate in its own succulent juices.

Enjoy.

Pics included for reference.

Sometimes I'm lazy and just eat bacon & eggs out the pan 😆

NY strip seared and finished in the oven. Overcooked it a bit for my taste. Homemade campfire mayo. Airfryer fries. It was pretty good.

About a week ago I bought a steak on a lark and tried to cook it properly. By sheer beginners luck I produced a meal that looked restaurant quality but lacked any real flavor.

Took all the Reddit advice and tried again. The steak looked depressed but actually had some flavor. Just severely over salted. and the potato came out hard as rock.

Round three came out a combo of the two. The steak didn’t produce the crust of the first, but at least wasn’t miserable looking. The flavor wasn’t outstanding but it actually had some. The veggies are the best I’ve ever made. Still keep undercooking the potato but at least I could eat some of it.

This has turned into such a fun project. My goal now is to make a steak dinner I‘d be happy to buy at a restaurant. Getting close. And failures are still a nice steak dinner.

Life just be endlessly moving in ways I don't like and can't keep up with.

I think I eat ~500 pot stickers a year.

Sauces are homemade soy ginger sauce and Sriracha + sweet and sour.

It was 95° but I went out on the mountain bike after work to shred some trails near my city. Good times. This truck was parked on my way home. So I had to stop. My first soft serve immediately hit the ground, The beautiful man who served it gave me another. Cheers my guy, this one’s for you!
