    Table of Contents

     

    Ingredients

    • 4 eggs (medium-large, room temperature)
    • 110 g (1/2 cup) sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • Zest from 1/2 lemon (or substitute with orange zest or 1 extra tsp vanilla)
    • 325 g (1 1/3 cups) unsweetened Greek yogurt (0% fat or full fat)
    • 55 g (1/2 cup) cornstarch
    • 1/4 tsp baking powder

    Directions

    Prepare the Egg Whites:

     

    Separate the egg yolks and whites into two large bowls.

    Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

    Prepare the Egg Yolks:

     

    Add sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the egg yolks.

    Beat the mixture until thick and pale.

    Add Yogurt and Dry Ingredients:

     

    Mix in the Greek yogurt at low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

    Add cornstarch and baking powder. Mix at low speed until combined.

    Combine the Mixtures:

     

    Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in a few steps. Fold carefully to avoid deflating the egg whites.

    Prepare the Pan:

     

    Line an 18 cm (7-inch) springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides are high to accommodate rising.

     

    Grease the pan lightly with butter to help the parchment paper stick.

    Bake the Cake:

     

    Tap the pan gently to break large air bubbles.

     

    Place the pan in a larger aluminum pan and pour hot water into the larger pan for a water bath.

    Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 60 minutes (no fan, upper and lower heat).

    Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.

    Cool and Serve:

     

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 30–40 minutes before unmolding.

    Gently remove the parchment paper, taking care not to damage the delicate cake.

  • some of the meats I cook so tender

    some of the meats I cook so tender

    Ribeye Steak, tender and tasty, grilled to juicy perfection! Everyone will adore this easy steak recipe, which is seasoned with fresh herbs, cooked in a cast-iron skillet, and basted with garlic butter.

    WHAT EXACTLY IS RIB EYE STEAK?

    Ribeye is clearly one of my favorite classic steak cuts. These steaks, one of the “primal cuts,” are the same as a prime rib roast but in steak shape. The meat has a delicate, soft texture and a healthy, meaty flavor similar to chuck.

    Ingredients:

    1 rib steak

    Sea salt flakes

    Freshly ground black pepper

    50g butter

    2 sprigs of thyme

    1 clove of crushed garlic with its skin

    How To Make Ribeye steak:

     

    Take the steak out of the refrigerator at least half an hour before cooking it until it reaches room temperature. This is an important step in ensuring that the steaks are cooked evenly.

    When ready to cook, generously season the steak. Sprinkle with lots of salt and pepper on both sides, and set on top to get an even coverage.

    Heat a frying pan. If you are cooking two slices of steak, make sure the pan is large enough to fit the slices comfortably. Otherwise, use two pans and heat them simultaneously. Add the steak to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side (depending on the desired thickness and degree). As a guideline, a 3cm steak should be cooked after 5 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, the indoor temperature should be 50 ° C for rarity, 60 ° C for average and 70 ° C for good cooking.

    After turning the steak for the first time, add the butter, thyme and garlic and stir for one minute. To do this, tilt the pan towards you until the butter collects at the bottom of the pan, then pour the butter over the steak repeatedly.

    Removing steak from skillet & permit it rest for 5 min . Don’t be tempt to skip this step, it is esentiel . During the cooking process, the meat particles stick together, so if you cut the steaks right after cooking, all the juices on the board will run out. The rest time allows the particles to relax and reabsorb their fluids, which means you won’t lose those delicious juices when slicing.Cut the steaks into strips, season and serve with your choice of side dishes and sauce.
