we can always make more threads you know. there's a lot of cooking going on here, moreso than most of this forum. why would you want fewer posts? more content is good. better than another mcchicken thread anyway.

jealousy

anyway, thats what i did with my evening. everything turned out awesome. that mix of herbs was perfect for the crepes and they were really light and really delicious. the parsley and oregeno were an excellent base, and the meat turned out extremely flavorful.

probably completely unnecessary, but I wanted to see if it would work. guess it did. hope someone enjoyed watching my failures.

with sauce and mr. pibb, the best soft drink

>>8207368
without sauce

>>8207366
all done, finally

>>8207365
anyway, add milk, cheese, flour and salt slowly over low heat and mix until it turns into a sauce with a consistency you like. this didnt turn out exactly like i wanted due to fucking up, but it tasted delicious. (how do you fuck up those ingredients after all) added a little olive oil just because.

>dont worry, we can save this.. i hope

>>8207360
anyway set your stack aside now that youre done and its on to the cheese sauce. and because i completely fucked up i forgot how hot the pan was and put the cheese directly into it, which immediately browned it. this is me rapidly cooling the pan and saving the cheese on my spatula.

whoops.

got cocky with the last one, made it way too huge because im retarded

making progress

>>8207339
that's more like it. soon we'll find out just how shitty my flipping skills are though. there's a proper form to it and i was trying to figure it out the whole time.

>>8207337
..getting there

>>8207335
...aaand fuckup. i didnt know how hot the pan needed to be and it had gotten much too cool since i wiped it down. batter just kind of sat there for a while, where its supposed to be finished in 20 or 30 seconds on a side

>>8207331
recipe called for a coat of butter on the pan. also hope you used nonstick because this changeover took like 2 seconds

>>8207327
meat and veggies were done so i put them on low heat in the toaster oven to keep warm. crepes are next.

smoked paprika gives it a slight reddish tinge and rounds out the flavor perfectly. seasoning ends up being garlic, ranch, salt, black pepper, hot sauce, sprinkle of cayenne for heat and smoked paprika for a full flavor.

>>8207322
see how soupy this is? this was before draining.

anyway add a good bit of ranch in. wonderful savory flavor, just adds a really good baseline that complements the meat well.

>>8207316
next step is frying the meat. this was probably my first big fuckup as i forgot to wipe the moisture from the vegetables out, and had to drain the liquid after a little bit and redo my seasoning. probably lost a slight bit of flavor here.

>>8207308
also this hot sauce is the shit if you ever find a bottle of it. i went through a whole hot sauce store and tried probably 50 bottles before deciding on this one.

philly steak that isnt a little spicy is boring. I bet some purist will come in here and bitch me out for my choices here but if I was a purist i wouldnt be serving it on fucking crepes now would i

>>8207300
time to focus on the meat, cut it up small. i actually got lazy and couldve cut it up a bit smaller. thinner is better for philly steak but really its good regardless.

>>8207291
also I guess i should mention that the smudged bottle is some fancy ass cayenne thats ultra hot and flavorful. totally recommend spicehouse their smoked paprika is also amazing. i ended up using both in this recipe.

diced, sauteed in olive oil with some black pepper, nothing fancy here. put a little minced garlic in it for flavor

..for flavor is pretty redundant isnt it
