/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I'm only using 2 of my oxtails. When I was a kid, and we're going way back here... These were dirt cheap. You'd practically be made fun of if you cooked oxtail soup, because you'd be some kind of poorfag /pol/a /ck/ or slav or darkie.
I guess some hipsters like them now or some cooking show featured them in a recipe, because they're not cheap at all now.
What's next... Costly chicken thighs? Skirt steak? Pork shoulder?
Ah, everything is going up in price from a poorfag perspective. I digress.

Here's the selected two oxtails, should add some nice flavor.

You don't need to do this step. I usually don't bother, just kind of experimenting today/doing whatever...
So I'm going to flour the cubed beef, you can use flour, whatever. I'm using a mixture of cornstarch, flour, and a light amount of some mystery ingredients

My kitchen is my playground, other than safe food handling and cleaning, there aren't really any rules (as you anons will see in time)

Same meat, with different lighting. Didn't really need to include it but wtf it looks so different?

Sliced/cubed

Closer pic for you anons. The flash from my phone makes it look shiny. You're going to want to dry it off with some paper towel, I'm a broke poorfu/ck/ so I don't have any.
Next step is to lightly salt it, and then cube it up.

The meat selection wasn't great here. When I was still a rich guy, years ago, I would probably use prime rib (USDA, or Canadian silver/AAA) like the absolute madman I am.
Lately I've been getting into cuts of beef like blade, here's some blade I just got...

Kitchen is pretty small in this particular shithole apartment. But still kind of comfy in its own way

Just moved, so I had to start by washing a few dishes. Here's what you need to start with. Get a nice pot, this one is from before I was born!

Well the other day in a thread I told you anons I'd post a cook along and there were some votes for beef stew. I wanted to post yesterday but I got off a night shift and had a lot of things to do, ended up passing out on the floor like a retard.
I'm all rested up now, so its time to get in the kitchen!
Like the lonely oldfag I am, I'm sharing this cook along with you anons, my only real friends
