How To Cook(e) with Bill Cooke

I love steak. There, I said it! This one takes me back to my childhood. Every summer we went camping and this was ALWAYS on the menu. Mom would marinate this for days before we left and freeze it, so it stayed cold longer. That didn't help the texture any but who cared! We were camping and this was delicious. Not the hardest thing to make so I hope you will try it at home. Enjoy! Please share, subscribe and hit the like button if you enjoyed this episode.

Enchiladas are so much fun. With the way I make them it is quick and easy to make a few up on any day of the week. This recipe is all about the Pollo Rojo, or Red Chicken. I am using 1 ½ lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thighs and it's going on the grill to get all that great grill flavor. The marinade is key and is not spicy. You could make it spicy but that is up to you. The full list of ingredients is below. Marinade it for at least 2 hours or overnight if you have time. The rest of the magic is all in the video above. Any questions? Leave me a comment. Thanks for watching and I hope you make this in your home. Enjoy! Enchiladas de Pollo Rojo Marinade: 1 ½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs 1 tbsp Guajillo powder 1 tbsp Ancho or Chili powder 1 tbsp Paprika 1 oz Achiote Paste 1 tbsp Garlic powder 1 tbsp Onion powder 1 tsp Ground Cumin 1 tsp Black Pepper Around a ¼ cup of water to make the mixture a slurry (add a tbsp of oil if you like) Mix thoroughly to combine. Add the water slowly until it forms a loose paste. Add your chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours of overnight. Grill 20-25 minutes or so over medium heat (350f-400f) until chicken reaches 165f internal temp. Please share, subscribe and hit the like button if you enjoyed this episode.

Way back in the day Taco Bell had a burger, sort of. It was called the Bell Beefer and it was basically a taco on a hamburger bun. It has long been discontinued and for good reason. Nobody ever ordered it (it wasn't actually listed on the menu board) and keeping hamburger buns around for no reason was silly. Well, as luck would have it, I worked there when it was still a thing. I have recreated this long-lost fast-food relic and it is still tasty! Make one for yourself and enjoy! Please share, subscribe and hit the like button if you enjoyed this episode.

Let's face it, with a last name Cooke you grow up with the nickname Cookie. You can either embrace it or spend years in therapy. I decided to make the world's greatest cookies. These are my Crack Cookies. They are a modifies Chocolate Chip cookie and they are NOT made with actual crack. They are just about as additive though so be warned, when you make these, they will change your life. This is also another technical snafu video. I had to dub the audio as the microphone decided not to work for some reason. Some of you seems to like these videos so I hope this one makes you happy. Ingredients 2 1/4 cups AP flour 1tsp baking soda 1tsp salt 1 1/2 cups softened butter, not melted 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs, room temp 2tsp vanilla extract 1/2 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini chips preferred by me 1/2 bag Heath Toffee bits Cook at 350f for 7-8 minutes or until almost starting to brown but not quite done yet. Rest on the cookie sheet until cool enough to move. Eat and repeat as necessary. Please share, subscribe and hit the like button if you enjoyed this episode.

Tri Tip is an amazing cut of beef. If you are not from the western half of the country, there is a chance you have not heard of this or not had a chance to cook one. here is everything you need to know to make a great Tri Tip. Reverse sear! This means you start cold and slowly bring the temp up. Start on a cold grill on low and flip it back and forth every 10-15miins for about 35-45 minutes. Then crank up the heat and add your glaze. Trust me, this is really delicious! Pull it off the heat at about 125f to 130f degrees. Let it rest 15 minutes in a warm'ish place and you are ready to slice. Slice against the grain of the meat for the most tender bites. Serve alone or with a sauce. A demi-glaze is wonderful or a chimichurri gives a nice bright flavor to the meat. Make sandwiches out of left overs or fry up some slices with eggs and breakfast potatoes.
