AJI QUEEN TRIBUTE – ROASTED PEPPER BEEF GOULASH

If you type in Aji Queen into google near the top of the list is my cousin, Beth who owned and operated Peppermania. Beth made her life ALL about peppers, from seeds, spices, hot sauces, earrings… right down to her panties LOL and this is why she was known as the pepper queen.  Unfortunately if you read that link you’ll see it’s a tribute to her passing.  I’ve been wanting to make a recipe that was a tribute to her without using one of her spices or peppers that I can no longer get or replicate.  I miss her all the time and that will only intensify soon, but that’s another story. So for now this recipe is for her.

ROASTED PEPPER BEEF GOULASH
1 1/2 pounds skirt or flank steak cut diagonally into 3-4 inch strips
3 pieces bacon, cooked crisp, save grease
1 large Walla Walla onion, halved and sliced thin
8 small sweet red, yellow and orange peppers roasted and sliced* (save a few for garnish)
4 cups beef broth
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons Worcestershire
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Penzey’s Sweet Paprika
1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes halved
Wondra
1 tablespoon Avocado oil
Fresh ground salt and black pepper
sour cream

  • Add the avocado oil to bacon grease over medium high heat in a large skillet.
  • Lightly dredge the steak pieces in Wondra.
  • Add steak to hot oil, salt and peppering generously, browning both sides well, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer meat to cutting board and cut into bite sized pieces. Keep warm.
  • Add onions and pepper slices to oil stirring until onions are soft.
  • Whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, paprika and vinegar.
  • Add broth mixture and potatoes to the onions bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Add meat back in and heat through.
  • Serve with veggie, pepper rings and sour cream.

*Roast on the BBQ or over an open flame.

NOTE:  When I’m in a hurry I halve the potatoes in advance and store them in the broth mixture.  This is also good using egg noodles instead of potatoes.

TRICK:  I like to use 2 pans so the meat and the sauce art are ready about the same time – the meat can get tough otherwise.

SWEET & STICKY PORK CHOPS with DIRTY RICE

I found this recipe in a pile to try and instantly fell in love with it.  I am trying better to remember to write down where I cut recipes from, but have not mastered it yet, LOL.

This is NOT a spontaneous recipe.  You have to plan!  This is best when the chops are marinated for the full 24 hours. I also make the dirty rice the day before while making the brine so that the flavors meld together.

Many dirty rice recipes also call for cumin and cayenne pepper.  I prefer to use more paprika and omit the cumin and cayenne pepper.

PAPRIKA CHICKEN and the RUB RUB RUB!

There are so many foods to work with, but honestly most of us use the same basic meats, beef, chicken pork or fish.  One of the best ways to spice it up a bit is to use spice rubs.  Most rubs use simple ingredients, but finding your favorite flavor combination can make the difference between eating the same old thing or trying a BOLD new flavor.  Sometimes the rub seasoning mixes can be added to your wet mixtures instead of directly being rubbed on the meats and have just as great a flavor enhancement.

PAPRIKA CHICKEN
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon + 1 tablespoon Penzey’s Sweet Smoked Paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
2 cups buttermilk
2/3 cup cornstarch
1 1/4 cup self rising flour
Fresh ground salt and black pepper, to taste
Avocado oil & Crisco

  • Sift together flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon paprika, set aside. 
  • Whisk together buttermilk, tomato paste, 1 tablespoon paprika, oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Dredge chicken pieces in four, making sure to coat ALL edges and folds. Save remaining flour mixture for use later.
  • Submerge chicken pieces in buttermilk mixture and chill 3-4 hours.
  • Heat a combination of avocado oil and Crisco over medium high heat.
  • Place remaining flour in a shallow dish.
  • Remove each chicken piece from the buttermilk shaking off excess.
  • Dredge each piece in flour mixture.
  • Fry until golden, turning only once about 15-20 minutes.
  • Using a wire rack place chicken pieces to drain.

Rubs will store, but I prefer to make them fresh for each recipe. 

Here are a few of my other favorite flavor combinations for rubs:

CHILE COFFEE – great for beef
1 teaspoon espresso powder
2 tablespoon ancho-chile powder
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt 
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

  • Mix together and store at room temperature.

SESAME SPICE – great for chicken
1/4 cup sweet paprika
