Steak Bites & Szchewan Beans over the Bonfire » RecipeCollage.com » November 24, 2024
I love my side kick. Don’t you?! He’s just too cute hehehe
One of hubby and I’s favorite snack. Inspired by 2 dishes we loved from restaurants. The Steak bites served with sesame sauce at Canadian Brewhouse in Canada are awesome, one of their best sellers!
These Szchewan Beans we used to eat at Milestones in Alberta. We just loved them. Although they are not on the menu anymore. Costco Canada now actually sells a szchewan green bean kit to make these, they aren’t bad!
Steak bites. Marinated in soya sauce for a couple hours. Then put your favorite steak spice on them.
These beans, I could eat this whole pan lol!
The green beans I put them in that pan just covered with water and boil til almost cooked. I drain water. And add about 2TBSP of this sauce. I make this sauce ahead this stores in my fridge til needed.
1TSP Szchewan peppercorns
1/4CUP soy sauce
3TBSP honey
1TBSP sesame oil
1TBSP rice wine vinegar
1TBSP Chinese cooking wine or mirin

Cooked this on my cast iron grill pan over the open fire, the color and smoked flavour wow. So good. Serve with toothpick and sesame sauce to dip. I do prefer a homemade sauce but it isn’t a sauce that lasts long so yeah, I normally buy it.

Lucky is just the cutest thing ever!
Another incredible dish over the fire. Hubby just loved it. Although he loves curry!
When I buy my meat at the grocery store before freezing it I prepare and or add some things to it before freezing.
This was a pack of chicken thighs. Skin on and bone in. I added some curry, chili powder, tumeric, onions & mushrooms some oil to mix it all around til well incorporated. I had put in freezer bag and froze.
Add the thawed chicken mixture to a hot cauldron with the oil & butter added. Cook til thigh skins are nicely browned.

While we’re waiting , kids arrived home from school and you all know what they wanted?! What’s for snack today?
S’mores it is. Did there faces ever light up!
Fire Roasted Ham & Corn Chowder » RecipeCollage.com » November 24, 2024
There shouldn’t be much stock left but still enough to just cover the rest of stuff. Add cut potatoes, corns, ham & green onions. Boil down til potatoes done and it’s nicely thickened. I don’t add flour and or cornstarch. This one naturally thickens for me.
We were cooking lots of stuff over the fire this day and I was onto recipe two so I needed to transfer this soup into a different pot as I needed my cauldron. That’s why finished product in something different ;0)
It got devoured fast!
