We made the Thai inspired ground beef for meal prep this week and it was 🔥 We absolutely loved it. Currently eating lower carb on weekdays so we put the beef recipe over riced cauliflower and quinoa, so good and great macro breakdown for fat loss. Made enough for two weeks and froze half, hoping it’s just as delish when unfrozen. Thank you, Bri for this great addition to our work week. We’ll try the Moroccan beef next week 🎉
Love this format
Made dish 1 changing out asparagus for green beans. Loved it.
Love this and I want even more ground meat recipes
lovee this format plus each recipe feels simple and managable and stuff i'd most likely have in my kitchen! would love videos like this for other common fridge and pantry things e.g. chicken thighs, can of garbanzo beans
I made the beef pad kra pow tonight. I LOVE it! I made some tweaks because I’m counting my macros (reduced oil, 90/10 ground beef). The flavor to effort payoff is huge. I feel like I’m ordering from a restaurant for real. Also, THANK YOU for posting the weight (grams) of the ingredients. It makes life so much easier when cooking & counting macros. I can’t wait to try the Moroccan ground beef stew next weekend.
1:50 don't do that, if your using a wok everything is fast
That isn’t Pad Kra Pao at all!
Tastes like Thai food from Thailand but where's the Thai chilies? More like American spiced Pad Kra Pao
The real Hamburger Helper right here.
In the Moroccan dish, can I use dry chickpeas instead? I don't like the canned stuff. I can cook them beforehand if necessary.
Pad Kra Pao should have some heat to it such as Thai chili. Also, the holy basil used in this dish is more similar to Italian basil in terms of taste. Hard to find holy basil in the us supermarkets.
Smash it with my beef weapon 🤔
Awesome video
Uncle B-man is by far my favorite YouTube chef!
Thanks for sharing these recipes
Easy-to-find ingredients, clear instructions – amazing!
Use sour cream instead of mayo for gyro😊
"Beef weapon" New peenar nickname unlocked 😅
“ Sauce is grippin’ the meat well” … um, do you have Sauces’ number by any chance?
Hoisin? 🤣 I’m done
Spinach?🧐
Just cooked the Beef Kad Pra tonight and it was amazing!!! Thank you for these recipes. I will be trying the noodle dish next!
It’s going to take me 20 minutes to figure out where the hoisin sauce is. But I’m still looking forward to trying these dishes.
Watched this morning, made the first receips for dinner. Smashing hit. 100% going into the rotation. Thanks, Brian!
The ras el hanout recipe is some new math. He calls for 20 grams, but the recipe is 27g, and he also says it will be 4 tsp, and it is a lot more than that.
i need to make all of these things!
I've subscribed here because you've impressed Jen Chapin. Good enough for me!
I don't know if I've ever commented on a yt video before, but I had to for this one. Awesome vid, all those look very delicious and approachable. Look forward to trying these recipes
How do you feel about the squeeze tubes of garlic and ginger? Acceptable substitute?
Great video. Some people can't eat a lot of spinach due to high oxalates. Kale and broccoli would work, or bok choy.
First time seeing this channel & I am really impressed. The recipes are solid, the instructions aren’t overly fussy, and the host doesn’t spend a lot of time listening to himself speak. Great video! I just got a case of 85/15 grass fed organic ground beef & I am actually looking forward to making something new with it now! 😊
Made the Pad Kra Pad tonight. Awesome flavors! Thanks!!
What would you recommend using if you can’t use hoisin due to allergy?
I make the Keema curry yesterday for my family. It was easy, delicious, and just a little spicy (perfect for my daughter). Definitely going to be a staple in my week night meal repertoire.
I am so picky about my tzatziki. Worked in a Greek restaurant run by a wonderful Greek family several years ago. You should try sour cream rather than mayo, it's amazing!
I can’t seem to find broccoli rabe but found baby broccoli. Is that the same thing?
Thanks!
Your keema curry is all wrong! Don't use curry powder first. Always fry coriander about 2 to 3 tablespoons add about 6 to 8 cloves of garlic with onion and 2 whole tomatoes. Half a teaspoon of chili's than your meat. Add cardamom, cumin 3 cloves cinnamon and turmeric. Always fry greens in oil with mustard seeds
This video may be my most rewatched ever now that I've found it!
Your handling of the wok is impressive!! Can’t wait to try out your recs
I made the chili crisp noodles tonight (with my homemade chili crisp!) and it was immediately added to our regular rotation. This video is beyond amazing, it's rare to get an instant classic anymore on the first try. I'm hoping we get many more videos like this, my personal vote would be 5 uses for a can of chickpeas please!
