butter chicken

(w/ what’s left in my fridge)

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • chicken

  • bell pepper

  • onion

  • tomato

  • whole milk

  • salt+pepper

  • cumin, tandoori masala, garam masala, all the masalas, turmeric, paprika

  • olive oil

  • rice

How to make it:

This is pretty simple but it’s been taking me some practice to get the perfect medium rare.

  • Prep your filet by seasoning well with salt and pepper and olive oil

  • Heat up your cast iron skillet on high heat until it starts smoking, then add some olive oil

  • Sear filet on each side for 1(ish) minute

  • Remove from the pan and let rest on a wire rack. Remove the pan from heat and reduce stove to low.

  • Once cooled, add butter rosemary and garlic to the pan. Add the filet back in once the butter is bubbling.

  • Baste on each side for 30 seconds then flip and continue basting until the internal temp has reached 120 degrees F

  • Remove from heat and let rest for 10ish mins

I’ve been having some trouble getting the perfect medium rare. So far, mine has been cooking slightly more medium. I fear I have been over searing it. Practice and updates coming soon. Too much red meat is bad for the heart so I have to space this out.
