I HAVE A BURNING DAHLIMEGS QUESTION!!!!

what's your favorite thing to cook together, and what are your favorite things to cook for each other? or is one of you not allowed in the kitchen for safety reasons.

ooooooh good question!!! tbh i don’t love cooking, at least not on a regular basis. it takes too much time and my adhd hates it, especially on workdays. i still do it tho, but it’s nothing elaborate most of the time unless i’m doing something special for the holidays.

anyways!! i feel like something we’d enjoy making together would be some sort of dessert like a cake or something. i mean i don’t really do anything from scratch lmfao but maybe we could try together!! also i can’t think of any regular dishes off the top of my head that i’d really need help with 😭 like i said, i tend to make rather simple things and i’m also a picky eater and rather conscious of my diet (i limit things like my sugar and saturated fat intake and have worked really hard to bring my cholesterol down)

that being said, megumi’s favorite thing to make me would probably be some chicken and rice. i’ll eat that shit up, especially if it’s teriyaki or something. and i just feel like he’d kill it and it’s a pretty safe bet because he knows i love it anyway lol

as for what i’d make him that he really enjoys… the first thing that came to my mind was my turkey chili. even tho i mostly just put everything in the crock pot LOL. it doesn’t have a bunch of the bells and whistles that a lot of people like (onions/peppers/etc.) because… yeah… picky eater lmao but i use lots of seasonings and whatnot so it’s still tasty, especially when it’s cold outside!! (put a lil greek yogurt/sour cream and some cheese in your bowl… mmm 🤌🏻)

A two way with sweet potato mash - 'Fire cracker' Sausages & mash.

𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨

• 2 Large sweet potato

• 1 medium white potato

• 4 Sausages

• Oil - 2tsp

• 1 Onion

• White wine vinegar 1 tbsp

• Marmalade 1 tbsp

• English mustard  ½ tsp.

• Cheese grated, a handful to taste

𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙

1) Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Wash & chop the sweet potato & white potato - put into a pan. Cook for 20 minutes.

2) Prick the sausages & put them into a medium frying pan or sauté pan with the oil. Peel & slice the onion - slices like hot dog onions - and add to the pan.

3) Once the onions have softened, add 1 finely sliced chilli, the vinegar, marmalade and mustard, and cook on a medium heat, stirring to encourage the onions to absorb all of the spicy sweet flavours and turning the sausages to brown and cook through.

4) When the potatoes are soft, drain them, leaving them slightly wet to mash. Finely slice the remaining chilli and toss it into the potato pan along with the grated cheese. Mash with a fork or potato masher according to desired consistency. Spoon the mash into a bowl, top with the spicy sausages & onions, and enjoy.

Cottage Pie

𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨

• 400 g beef mince

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 1 leek halved lengthways & thinly sliced

• 1 large carrot, finely diced

• 1 celery stick, finely diced

• 2 tbsp. tomato puree

• 2 tbsp. plain flour

• 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

• 500 ml beef stock

• 2 Large sweet potato

• 1 medium white potato

• 50 g butter

• 2 tbsp milk

• 200 g frozen peas

• 75g grated Cheddar

𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙

Do as above for the mash.

1) Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and once hot add the beef mince. Cook the mince until golden brown all over, about 5-6 minutes.

2) Then add onion, leek, carrot & celery, adding a drizzle of oil if the pan has started to dry out. Cook the vegetables until lightly browned & softened, a further 5-6 minutes

3) Add tomato puree & flour & cook, stirring, for 2 minutes then add Worcestershire sauce, beef stock & thyme. Season, simmer until thickened.

4) Plate up then layer the mash, sprinkle cheese on top.

Important Tips for Perfect Steak and Pasta

Cooking steak and pasta to perfection is an art that can elevate any meal. This guide will walk you through serving suggestions, additional pasta recipes, and a foolproof way to cook steak and pasta. Let's dive into the details!

Serving

Pairing your steak and pasta with the right sides can transform your meal into a memorable feast. Here are some complementary dishes:

Garlic Butter Green Beans

Sautéed in garlic and butter, these green beans provide a crunchy and flavorful side dish. They balance the richness of the steak and pasta beautifully.

Easy Dinner Rolls

Soft, fluffy dinner rolls are perfect for soaking up any leftover sauce. They add a comforting, homey touch to your meal.

Brown Sugar Honey Glazed Carrots

Sweet and tender, these carrots bring a delightful contrast to the savory flavors of the main course. Their glaze adds a subtle complexity that pairs well with steak.

Sautéed Vegetables

A mix of bell peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini sautéed in olive oil and herbs creates a vibrant, nutritious side that complements both steak and pasta.

More Pasta Recipes

Looking to diversify your pasta repertoire? Here are some tried-and-true recipes:

Garlic Butter Chicken Pasta

This creamy and garlicky pasta is a quick and delicious option. Tossed with tender chicken, it's a perfect comfort food.

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

A rich and flavorful dish, this pasta combines a creamy sauce with Parmesan cheese and succulent chicken for an indulgent experience.

Spaghetti Bolognese Chicken

A twist on the classic, this recipe uses ground chicken instead of beef, making it a lighter yet equally satisfying option.

Steak and Pasta

To create the perfect steak and pasta dish, follow these steps:

Ingredients

Pasta

Choose your favorite pasta type: spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne. Make sure to cook it al dente for the best texture.

Steak

Select high-quality cuts such as ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon. Season them generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Sauce

A creamy garlic sauce or a rich tomato-based sauce works beautifully. Choose one that complements your preferred flavor profile.

Instructions

Cook Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

Sear The Steaks

Heat a heavy skillet over high heat and add a tablespoon of oil.

Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.

Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.

Make The Sauce

In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.

Stir in heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and seasoning of your choice.

Add the reserved pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency, if needed.

Toss the pasta in the sauce to coat evenly.

Notes

You can use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your preferred taste.

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese gives the sauce a richer flavor than pre-grated varieties.

Adjust the sauce seasoning as needed, tasting frequently to perfect the flavor.

Nutrition

While exact values depend on specific ingredients and quantities, a serving of steak and pasta with sides typically provides a balanced meal with protein, carbs, and healthy fats. Keep portion sizes in mind to maintain a nutritious diet.

By following these tips and recipes, you'll master the art of cooking steak and pasta, creating a meal that's both delicious and impressive. Bon appétit!
