Thanks to Made In for sponsoring! You can get my favorite cookware from Made In today with a 10% off discount on your first order over $100 using my link: RECIPE 1 beef teres major muscle 1 russet or other baking potato frozen pearl onions garlic fresh thyme stock balsamic vinegar salt pepper oil butter Peel the potato and cut it into 3 or 4 thick rounds. Get an oven-safe pan really hot to sear the beef, which you can oil and season while you're waiting. Drop in the beef to sear, along with some more oil to sear the potatoes on their flat sides at the same time season the potatoes on both sides as you go. Take out the beef to rest before it's done inside. When the potatoes are seared, get any excess oil out of the pan, then drop in a few tablespoons of butter along with a crushed garlic clove or two and some thyme sprigs. Baste the potatoes, and once the butter has gone golden brown pour in enough stock to come a third of the way up the potatoes. Transfer the pan to an oven at 400F/200C and roast until almost but not quite one inside they should still resist a knife to the center a little bit. When the potatoes are almost done, remove and discard the garlic and any thyme stems you can find. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan and drop in some pearl onions (still frozen is fine, toss them in the sauce, and return the pan to the oven for about five minutes. After that, lay the roast on the bed of onions and let the roast finish cooking until done to your satisfaction inside. Take the pan out and remove the meat to rest. Turn the heat back on under the pan to further reduce the sauce until thick if needed and adjust the flavor with seasoning and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Slice the beef and lay the slices on the onions to reheat. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and eat it straight out of the pan if you're into that.

Here's a similar simple French inspired recipe I came up with for duck breast. I make it with two pans, but you could do it with one in a pinch.
Start by gently cooking the duck breast with the fat side down until the fat has rendered out. At that point, I move the duck to another pan to continue cooking. Into the first pan I throw a bunch of quartered potatoes and I let them cook in the duck fat. Gently at first, hotter at the end for some colour (delicious. Once the meat is cooked, I put it to the side and make a sauce in that pan. I like shallot, honey balsamic vinegar with butter. Serve everything together with some veg or a salad and it's perfect.

Don't appeciate the AI generated translated German audio, tbh. Especially as a default setting. When I'm watching Adam Ragusea, I wanna listen to Adam Ragusea too, so I wanna hear Adam Ragusea. (And especially not any life-less, soule-less automated voice. Still don't appreciate those on public transport - and we've had them for quite a while now)
Also, I still find the auto-translated titles weird. Still haven't gotten used to them. Also am mostly ignoring them. -- A German title to a non-German (in this case English) video, especially by a non-German speaking content creator. that's off!

i really enjoyed the creativity in this video, the mini-roast looks delicious and perfect for the holiday season. however, i can’t help but wonder if fondant potatoes are really the best choice for a Christmas dinner. they seem a bit too finicky for a meal that’s supposed to be cozy and comforting. what do you all think
reply

sorry for the trouble, but i could not find it on your website or reddit. What wireless meat probe do you use in this video and would you recommend it I intend to use it only for oven use as i don't have a smoker or BBQ. It looks like that model does not need a mobile phone to connect to it which i consider a plus.

That temp check of the splash of water in the pan reminds me of my temp check - frozen cocoa butter. Yeah, it smells like chocolate while melting, but plain cocoa butter has very little noticable taste, and seeing a few small bits of it melt tells me I can put in dairy butter and know it is ready to melt it.

please don't use the AI localization voice over feature. it completely alienates viewers like me who aren't in the US and also simply eradicates any work done to the audio editing. There's no way to turn it off either or to switch to the original audio. Like this it just doesn't wanna make me watch any videos

You know which other carbon steel pans are used in Michelin star restaurants around the world The inexpensive house brand pans from their local restaurant supply store. If you dont have a restaurant supply store (unlikely, there are web restaurant stores. A Web-staurant store, if you will.

My gf returns from business trip this weekend to apartment we’ve moved together, and I already know what I’ll cook her for our first dinner at a new place. Thank you for this delightful meal, my friend, your video has come at the very right time

If only my grocer labeled meat terrace major I love about an 90 minutes away from you Adam. That's not a thing at the same grocery you shop at unless you have an extra fancy butcher and those don't seem to exist outside of major cities. Or Europe.

Hi Adam! Would you ever be interested in making a video about the process of cheddaring a cheese I am in the process of attempting cheesemaking for the first time and I have had a hard time finding some answers on what exactly is happening there.
reply

you should do a science experiment on these potatoes. what happens if you microwave for the majority of it, brown on the stove and finish in the oven, or variations. I'm a big believer in microwave is a faster better way for 90% of potatoes

I can’t believe Adam said use a well seasoned carbon steel pan at the start and I thought ok so he’s not doing a pan sponsorship today’ and then 3 minutes later he does a pan sponsorship. Just when I thought I’d figured him out
reply

This looks delicious i will try it. just a minor suggestion, you might benefit from a knife skills class. I noticed some of your knife handling techniques are less than optimal. not a big issue, but it could help you long-term.

Love the one-pan concept for a cozy Christmas dinner! Those golden brown fondant potatoes with the garlicky butter sauce look incredible - perfect balance of flavor and texture Definitely trying this technique for my holiday meal!
reply

As someone who does something very, very different for Christmas. We eat cabbage soup and fried fish with potato salad around these parts. I might just make this between Christmas and new years, sounds like a fun winter dish.
reply

I'm about to move out and I'm looking at what pans I should get, would carbon steel be a good pick for universal use
It's either that or stainless steel but the non stick properties of carbon steel are pushing me that way

At my dorm, I have a nonstick sheet pan where my friends and I all chip in to buy ingredients for. Last time we did roasted chicken thighs, peanuts, walnuts, broccoli, and then fresh rosemary and parsley. Fire as hell!

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you see it) you wont be able to find russet potatos in Germany. German potatos are generally much smaller, but also much more flavorful than the average russet potato.
reply

I started watching these videos because they were relatable to a normal average person, but now it's nearly impossible to cook any of these recipes. nobody has money to buy those pans, or even a probe thermometer.
reply

Seems you are feeling better! Thanks for another body of work for the human encyclopedia of good eating!
Nice seeing you over at Bluesky, Adam. It’s only a matter of time before Twitter goes bankrupt.
