I decided to try a pre-packaged frozen "salmon with sugar & spice on a cedar plank". I normally don't buy frozen salmon and I have never tried sugar as a marinade, so I decided to go for it. The worse thing that could happen is I wouldn't like, but I'll have a another cedar plank, which is nice.

I wasn't too bad. I'm not a fan of sweetness in my meals, but I easily ate this. This type of meal is great for people who think they dont know how to cook, but its super easy to make and is very tasty.

That's inspiring to look at.
Those werent mine. Those were what inspired my failed attempt.

I have since redeemed myself and have conquered it

Edit to fix a horrible spelling error

INSTAPOT BEEF STEW

1619541789355.webp


For the meat:

2 T oil

1.5 – 2 lbs stew meat cubed

2 T flour

For the gravy:

2 lg yellow onions cut into wedges

2 cloves garlic sliced

2 t Italian seasoning

4 T tomato paste

1/3 C dry red wine (or increase your beef stock)

2 C beef stock

2 T Worcestershire sauce

1 t maple syrup OR brown sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

For the vegetables:

½ lb waxy potatoes cut into chunks

4 lg carrots peeled, ends trimmed and cut into chunks

4 lg celery sticks trimmed and thickly sliced

8 oz brown button mushrooms cleaned and quartered

½ C frozen peas (unthawed)

Brown the meat: Set instapot to saute and heat oil in it. Add beef, season with salt and pepper and stir.

Sprinkle flour over meat and stir well. Cook until browned.

Start the gravy: Add onions and cook until starting to soften. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and tomato past and cook, stirring constantly, until herbs are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour wine (or broth) into the pan, scratching the browned bits off the bottom. (Make sure to catch all bits or burn warning may get triggered.) BROWNING CAN BE DONE IN A SKILLET ON THE STOVE INSTEAD. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in stock, Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup (or brown sugar), salt, and pepper.

Cook: Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and mushrooms to instapot. Stir very well. Close lid and set steam valve to “sealing”. Press “meat/stew” button. Once cooking time is up, allow a natural pressure release

(just leave the instapot alone until it’s safe to open).

Finish: Once pressure has released, release lid. Stir well and check for seasoning and consistency. Thicken with a slurry of 1 – 2 T cornstarch and 2 – 3 T of water (or broth), is desired.
 
For dinner, I'm excited to explore a new flavor profile as I indulge in Szechuan chicken accompanied by a medley of vibrant vegetables that promise a burst of colors and nutrients. To add a touch of classic comfort, I'll be serving up a side of perfectly seasoned fries that strike that delightful balance between crispy and tender. This meal feels like a harmonious fusion of spicy, savory, and crispy textures, making it a delightful culinary adventure for the evening.

Sounds wonderful!
 
We smoked a whole beef brisket, and it was superb. Had steamed broccoli and sweet potatoes with it. It was pretty expensive even on sale for $3.99/lb, and it was massive. My son still managed to eat way more than he should have and has been paying for his greed ever since.
