The Subsimmer's Cookbook

[Aramike]

One thing seems to be a constant throughout US naval submarining history - those who serve beneath the waves were fed quite well, and were privy to some of the finest cooking in the armed forces.

As someone who fancies himself a bit of a cook and who loves food, I thought it'd be fun for us to share some of our favorite recipes from either under the sea or on land.

Simple or ridiculously complex, let's see what we can come up with!

[Aramike]

For starters:

Aramike's Amazing Pan-fried Beef Tenderloin

I love this incredibly easy marinade and fry recipe. Makes for an ultra flavorful steak.

All you need is:

2lb Whole Beef Tenderloin, halved
1 1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil.

Now, just mix soy sauce, garlic, and pepper in a medium sized bowl. Place in the two tenderloin halves. Wrap with plastic wrap, and marinate IN REFRIGERATOR for 3 - 5 hours.

Next, heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Once it's popping, carefully lay down the tenderloins (careful, it WILL splatter). Cook 5 - 7 minutes per side until done as desired.

Warning: don't bother adding any salt. The beef will be plenty flavorful and salty!

PS: The marinade is good for grilling too, but for once steak is better from the pan.

Reminds me of my wife making hot dogs in boiling water when she was drunk. She left plastic packaging on and just dropped them in the pot.

You are not supposed to fry a pizza on a pan

@ anti,

SH427's Girl Repellent Burgers, great for friday night!
1.take some lean ground hamburger, uncooked, you know, the bulk kind you can get at wal-mart?
2. dice a quarter of an onion, less for one burger.
3. make two burger sized chunks of ground hamburger, roll in the onion.
4. in a good-sized pan, pour some oil in to keep the burgers from sticking, I am hoping you would use some common sense and not dump half the bottle into the pan.
5.or if you are using the grill...hell I wouldn't know, never cooked ground hamburgers on the grill.
6. use low heat to cook the burgers slowly, there should be very little pink on the inside.
7. in about 10-15 minutes they should be done, add on some lettuce, tomato, a little more onion if you please, some ketchup, and voila!

*note, these burgers will leave your breath hideous for a good 6 hours. eat with caution or brush your teeth regularly

Love that recipe. Toss in like a tablespoon or so A1 sauce and garlic (my favorite flavor) into the meat, and you got my favorite burger.

I picked it up from my dad, he used to be head chef in a local restaurant for a while. I usually oversize my burgers though, Who says you can't have a burger on a kaiser roll?

Hey, recipes, I got one... although maybe it belongs in that soup thread

So here's a recipe

(all measurements are in Metric/Continental European keep this in mind because a teaspoon in the Netherlands turns out to be about half of what it is in Britain)

Tavuk Corbasi

which is Turkish chicken soup

Needed for 4 people

2 tablespoons of rice
1/2 teaspoon of tarragon
1 liter of chicken stock
40g butter
40g flour
200ml turkish yoghurt
salt
pepper
200g of chicken
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
2 tablespoons of chopped chives

Boil the rice in the chicken stock with the tarragon in about 30 minutes, Meanwhile Fry the chicken with salt and pepper and when cooked slice into strips.
Melt the butter and stir in the flour, then add the yoghurt while stirring then heat slowly until a nice thick roux is achieved.
add the roux to the stock while stirring to get it to thicken a bit, add seasoning to taste.
Then add chicken, lemon juice and lemon zest and bring to just below boiling. add the chives just before serving.
Serve with turkish bread.

Bon Appetit.
