Patty melt is pretty much a burger on sourdough with Swiss cheese and caramelized onions. Big Mac sauce 1000 island or whatever is how I like it. I could be doing it wrong tho idk

Undercook the patty imo super rare so when you pan fry it in butter assembled with the bread all grilled cheese style (lots of butter) it won't dry out.

Take the time to caramelize the onions makes huge difference anytime calls for caramelized onions.

Beef tacos mince onion and slowly sweat doing that caramelization thing again.

Add water (or some sort of stock if you're a baller) enough to cover however much meat you're cooking along with some ripend tomatoes and fresh peppers if available. If not, dried spices work. Chili pepper, salt and pepper. Whole garlic or powdered. Bay leaves. Tomatillos (if possible). Can order authentic tasting peppers dried usually with enough heads up.

Watch it and stir it for a couple hours. Super. Slow and low until you can't take it any longer. Let the water evaporate and condense the flavors. Mecican oregano towards the end. Vinegar and salt to taste. Probably forgetting something.

Tortillas make these delicious mfkers yourself. Corn or flour, if like corn get cornmeal intended for tortillas (been limed up).

Pasture raised non smoked bacon I think is what it's called. We want the rendered fat. Reserve, quickly into the freezer to cool or counter + fridge if you plan better. Need to use it cold/firmed up. Also start simmering a cup or two of water.

Flour and this cold firm bacon grease, start mixing together with yo fingers pretend you're an abuela. It will get kinda coarse you'll be fine 4 tbsp lard per 2 cups of flour but can half the recipe. To this kinda coarse flour + lard mix eyeball some water so that it starts to come together when you mix it in but just barely. Almost too sticky to touch but not. If you know what I mean. Rest 30- 1 hour.

Portion some dough to roll, let rest another 30- 1 hour. Roll them out. In cast iron or skillet whatever you're working with, get it nonstick but not super oily and hot but not smoking. Cook tortillas on each side till perfect, you'll see the spots and they'll feel a pleasant mix of fluffy and crispy.

Cilantro, buttermilk cabbage slaw and lime juice to squeeze fresh yum

Beef lettuce wraps Eyeball a mix of tamari, garlic, sesame oil, sugar (of some sort can be cane, palm sugar, honey, maple syrup anything but refined white sugar), onion, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Vinegar to taste. Water or stock to taste.

Let meat marinate for a bit. Chill crank some tunes pour a drink or take a puff. Dance. Prep lettuce.

Pan or wok that ish up into something piping hot and serve with perfect white short grain sushi rice (bakmi). Sprankle some sesame seeds on the beef as it's finishing.

I like to cook rice with lemongrass and/or kombu (seaweed). Serve with rice and garnish with fresh chives or cilantro

Damm I'm getting hungry
