Ahhh ribeye. One of my go to easy dishes to make under FIVE minutes! I love cooking this on a cold day with some mashed potatoes and a (really optional) side of veggies.

What we have here is a beautiful ribeye really good marbling, cooked rare. I’m not about that ribeye + herb life. Yep, tried that before, but TBH a ribeye needs to be savoured, and I just prefer the taste of beef without the herb flavours. All you really need are salt, pepper, butter and garlic – again simple is best!!

Just use this recipe and just stick to garlic!

Big Beef Bowl
1 Byng Ave, North York

I was really excited to try this new spot that just opened at Yonge and Finch, mostly because I’ve been craving for a nice big bowl of beef brisket soup… And also – look at those noodles! Really flat, thick and hand pulled. I’ve never seen anything like it!!

First things first: Big Beef Bowl is a small restaurant that probably fits 10-15 customers, so I imagine they get really busy at lunch and dinner. The food is awesome though, and pretty legit. Aside from the large bowl of noodles I ordered, my boyfriend and I also got pork, chive and egg dumplings as well as the spicy roasted corn. Both SO delish! I should have taken pictures but I was really focused on my bowl of noodles which was amazing: spicy, rich broth reminiscent of pho. By reminiscent I mean that there are spices in pho that I taste in the broth, but both are totally different dishes. Loved the noodles too, they had an amazingly chewy texture. The chunks of beef brisket were really tender, I wanted more!! The service was great too, no complaints!

Will definitely be back to try another noodle size and probably extra beef.

Colder weather calls for staying in and eating lots and lots of carbs (as much as I hate to admit it).

Today I’m making Beef Massaman Curry, a Thai dish that I LOVE because of the lovely blend of spices (cardamom, clove, cinnamon, star anise, etc), the coconut milk and the peanuts. It’s on the milder end of the curry dishes, so not too hot at all. For this recipe I used beef shank, the part of the beef that you use for Osso Buco, and it was so DELICIOUS!!!!! Ditch the lean “stewing beef” and opt for beef shank which adds a really rich flavor. It tasted like I was at a legit Thai restaurant, not going to lie. I tossed in shallots and potatoes as well, and it blew my mind.

This was also the first time I’ve ever made this recipe, and it was really easy. Just a few hours of simmering in my cast iron pot, and you get an amazing curry dish – which you can easily pair with rice. MAKE THIS ASAP!!
