Recipe

Asian Steak

This braise features bone-in chuck steak in an irresistible Asian-style sauce. You won't be disappointment by this effortless dish. Another winner from Grandma Martha Geller's treasure chest inspired by a New York Times recipe published a few decades back. She told me to put everything in the pan in stages—but of course, I didn't listen. I wish all chefs would try making their recipes easy first. It seems to me they make them complicated and time-consuming on purpose: "In 1 hour add celery; twiddle your thumbs and wash your hair; and an hour later, add the water chestnuts, one at a time." Do you find that everyone seems to be working backwards—taking simple recipes and then figuring out how to make them more cumbersome—or is it just me?
