What's that you're eating?

Got tonight’s dinner ready and slow cooking the rest of the day.

Making slow cooked Picanha again. Started by cutting up some green vidalia onion and some garlic and sautéing it in the pan.

Prep for the meat is simple. I just make a few cuts in the thick fat cap and season with some salt, pepper and paprika. Then in the pan it goes to brown both sides for a few minutes.

After the meat has a few minutes to brown a little, I add some Worcestershire, a bottle of Guinness, and a few other seasoning. Put the lid on and into the oven it goes to slow cook the rest of the day.

To be continued in about 6 hours…
 
Some simple & easy (mostly out of the box) home "cooking" . . .

Instant ramen (noodles only) with sesame seed oil mixed in w/the noodles & topped Northern Chinese style pork dumplings seasoned w/a dab of chili-garlic sauce: & sliced green onions:

Pre-heated the shells in the oven @ 350F for 5 mins & reheated the meat in the microwave for a 1 min on high before filling. Bought the taco holders specifically to make these tacos. Should have bought them long ago. 🤷‍♂️

This looks great! My Southern cooking skills are a bit....ahem.....lacking! 🙂 Are there any additional spices that you add? I'm definitely gonna try this!!

P.s. also think it's awesome that you seem to have a different, amazing kitchen knife in your pics! 👍🏻

I did add some salt, black pepper and oregano tonight. I would typically add some cayenne pepper too, but not everyone appreciates the dish as spicy as I do, so I left it out tonight. A lot of flavor is picked up from the sausages, so minimal seasoning is needed in my opinion. It needs a couple hours simmering on the stove to meld all the flavors, and after a night in the fridge it typically gets even stronger.

Thanks! That particular kitchen knife was a gift, and it sees quite a bit of use. Hard to have too many good kitchen knives.
 
Another routine meal.

Beef noodles.

The ground meat is fried with some onion, jalapeno, and mushrooms. With a can of condensed cream of jalapeno soup added after. Spices will be chosen by the mood tonight and smell.

As that goes. Egg noodles boiled with beef bouillon powder in the water. Drained.

Then both are mixed together. With enough made and left over, I can have some for breakfast tomorrow.
