    Soooo. Tried to sous vide. With not beef but pork filet. Like 7 hours heat bath. Then sear in high heat.
    Transformed it into pulled pork. Interesting.

    Accompanying, got baked broccoli and caulis, with stir fried mushroom and garlic.

    Is it the lighting or is that piece rather pink?
    The problem with using pork is that you have to make sure it's cooked, and that's probably why it came out like pulled pork.
    If you're searing, it shouldn't take that long especially if you're using high heat. I was grilling sirloin beef a few weeks back and learned the hard way that it doesn't have to be seared for too long before it becomes well done. All part of cooking experiments using different materials (An flat electric grill and a wok).

    Grilled Tangy and Spicy Porkchops

    6 pieces of porkchops
    Salt
    Sugar 1 teaspoon
    Black Pepper
    Cayenne Pepper powder 1/2 tablespoon
    Ginger 1/2 tablespoon powder or grated
    Gran Marsala 1/2 tablespoon
    Light/Sweetened soy sauce 2 tablespoon
    Oyster Sauce 1/2 tablespoon
    Hoisin Sauce 1/2 tablespoon 1/2 tablespoon final sauce
    Ketchup 1 tablespoon for marinade 1 tablespoon final sauce
    Garlic 2 cloves
    Onion 1 half

    Marinade
    In 1 small bowl, mix the cayenne pepper, gran marsala, ginger and a pinch of black pepper together for the powder seasoning and set aside.
    Now in a separate small bowl, put the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, ketchup, and sugar in and mix with a spoon. You don't want this too salty or sour, so add a bit more sugar if off, but not too much because we don't want the meat to burn when grilling. Dice up 2 cloves of garlic and cut one slice of onion and dice and add them to the marinade sauce and mix well.

    Marinading the Meat
    On a large plate or 2 medium plates to fit the pork chops, put a pinch of salt and black pepper on each side of each piece of meat. Now take your spice mixture and rub it in evenly on each piece on both sides. After that is done, do the same with the marinade. Make sure all have been evenly marinaded, wrap in food wrap and put in the fridge for 2-3 hours before grilling.

    IMG_20181202_185751.jpg

    Cooking
    We used an electric grill and scrub the grill with oil to prevent the meat from sticking. Grilling 3 pieces at a time, do each side for 5 min, and if not cooked flip and do each side for a couple more min.

    IMG_20181202_185802.jpg

    Sauce
    Slice the rest of your half onion and in some oil put it in to stir fry, just when they begin to sweat, put in your sauce ketchup and hoisin sauce (salt and sugar or soy sauce and sugar can sub) with the onion, the ketchup should act as a thickener. If too sour, add some more sugar to adjust flavor. A quick mix and dress the sauce on the pork chops.

    Serve with stir fry cabbage or any vegetable side or salad. For wine drinkers, I did a glass of Rosso mixed with the Passion fruit juice from the other recipe, very refreshing.

    Berry Oreo Cheesecake

    On Thanksgiving week I posted the parfaits from the leftover filling from this recipe. But now I'm posting the same recipe. Same method as the pumpkin cheesecake but different ingredients.

    1 ready to fill graham cracker pie crust
    3-4 oreo cookies or crushed oreo pie crust
    12-15 oz cream cheese
    3/8 cup of honey (min)
    1/4 cup whole milk
    1/4 cup heavy cream
    1 small box (the one's you'd find at the market with the smallest packaging) of raspberries, blackberries and strawberries each.
    Berry jam of your choice. (We used raspberry jam)

    In a large bowl, mix your cream cheese with milk, cream, and honey, whip until smooth. Adjust amount of honey and liquid ingredients for taste and texture. Add in the crushed oreos (if you are using whole cookies, crush them to paste before adding) and mix well. Add in 2 serving spoon of jam as well.

    On your pie crust, start with one layer of filling, arrange your berries assorted around. for strawberries cut in halves. Do another layer of filling and berries and then top with the rest of the filling. You should have berries leftover for topping later.

    Preheat your oven to 325. We were doing our ham at the same time, so we didn't need to preheat. Bake in oven for 30-35 min until center is close to firm.

    Let it cool and then layer with berry jam on top and the rest of the berries. Once cool enough place in freezer or fridge to chill until serving. If freezing, let it thaw 30 min to an hour depending how frozen it is before serving.

    Sweet cheesecake with tart berries.

    Chicken version was even more subsceptible to drying, because it's chicken.

    I should do some tweaks.

    Maybe on lower heat?
    Thats breast right?
    So its easier to overcook. Not a lot of moisture.

    Maybe try scoring it so the heat enters the inside and cook faster so you dont leave it on there faster?

    Cutting some cross/horizontal incisions on each side of meat 1/4 in - 1 in cut depending on the size of the meat, the opening allows the inside of the meat to absorb the heat and cook faster.
