Korean Beef Patties (Jang-Sanjeok) – My Korean Kitchen

I put together a half batch of these earlier, partly because I had an open pack of tofu that needed used up. (You don’t absolutely need the tofu, but a little does help keep things moist. Don’t really notice it otherwise.)

I’d made similar seasoned patties before, but not with the teriyaki type sauce/glaze, and that was definitely well worth a try. The red wine approach was intriguing. As usual around here, I cut the sweetness by about half, since Mr. C doesn’t like very sweet sauces. It was good enough that I may have to try the sauce with something else.

Another easy and tasty dish to go with it and some rice: Steamed Broccoli with Miso Butter. (Plus plenty of garlic and red pepper flakes.) I just used about a lb. of micro-steamed frozen broccoli, and guesstimated the seasonings accordingly. Turned out great, in less than 10 minutes even as slow as I can be in the kitchen 🙄

Quick eats time: some box style GF mac and cheese, done basically like that easy broccoli pasta from the other night. (A lot of the broccoli sunk to the bottom here. It’s close to half and half.)

This lighting (and the black bowl) really isn’t helping its looks much, but pretty good. I’ve made other types of macaroni and cheese with broccoli thrown in, but for some reason never tried this before. But, I had a little frozen broccoli left, and felt like I needed more veggies tonight.

Similar to something I threw together earlier, to go with a tuna steak. I used penne, but just about any pasta shape should work fine.

I was going to saute some garlic, but ran out of energy and just sprinkled in some garlic powder with the other seasonings. Hadn’t made anything like this in a while, but it turned out good enough for the effort that I should again before too long.
