  • Darren McGrady was the personal chef to Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Princess Diana, and Princes William and Harry-a family with notoriously specific food needs-for 15 years.
    In this limited series, Chef McGrady will walk you through the royals' favorite recipes from his Dallas test kitchen...while spilling all the most glorious royal tea. Who else would we have for our second ep if not Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, aka Queen Elizabeth?

It's happened in so many generations of royal families that there are countless books and movies about how the almost-kings end up gambling, drinking, and banging all the time, miserable at their near-miss fate. He's clearly a textbook case of that psychological phenomena. Jealousy of the one that wandered around Vegas with prostitutes before he decided to straighten out? I don't know about that.

      @corbeau-_- Před 4 lety

      put it on a flat surface and press, slightly crushing it - it with a knife. Skin comes right off. Use your fingers to guide the knife (you shouldn't rely on your eyes).
      If you really want to become 'good', just chop dozens of onions. It's how these chefs learn it, when they first start out: ''chop these onions". Such places work in bulk and practice makes perfect, especially when done repeatedly in a short time. It used to take me long too, I was too focused on the actual knife and applying pressure in the wrong way, without really slicing enough (too much downward pressure). And I didn't use my other hand to guide the knife, I just used the cutting hand to move it after each slice. Bla, bla.
      One more tip: I use a meat cleaver for the garlic and when I need it chopped, I rather just do the same trick again: put it on a flat surface (now without peel) put the blade on top and slam my fist upon the blade with great fury. Instant garlic puree within seconds.
      Practice ;)

    I was a Buckingham palace guard with the army a few years back. The guardroom where all of us soldiers stayed has it's own chef, a 'very friendly' French man who made us amazing food (which is rare in the army). He would bring us cakes and donuts and all sorts, the best food I ever ate in the military hands down.

    I'm surprised to not find anybody that transcripted the recipe here. Here it goes as I was able to catch it:
    Ingredients:
    6 mushrooms
    2 beef tenderloin steak medallions
    5-6? potatoes, enough for mashed potatoes
    2-3? parsnips, to add to the mashed potatoes
    1 stick of butter
    1 & 1/2 cups of cream
    (optional) about a quarter onion chopped
    1~ 1 & 1/2 cup of whiskey
    ~1 cup of meat broth (?)
    Preparation:
    - Mashed potatoes
    a. After cooking and chopping the parsnip and potatoes, mash both separated.
    b. Add aprox 20g of butter to the mashed potatoes and around 1/2 cup of cream to the parsnip
    c. Mix both the parsnip and potatoes together, add salt to discretion and store for later
    1. Chop the mushrooms into medium thin slices, keep for later
    2. Season the medallions using salt and pepper, keep for later
    3. In a heated pan put some cooking oil followed by ~10 grams of butter. Place the medallions in the pan and sear properly.
    4. Cook the steaks to medium rare as god intends. Please, respect the cow that gave its life for this beautiful steak.
    5. After cooked to medium rare, remove the steaks and let them rest in a plate. Keep the juices in the pan.
    - Sauce
    6a. In the pan you just cooked the steak, add 10g of butter and mix with the juices
    6b. Add (or not) the chopped onion
    6c. Add the mushrooms and mix in the fire for a couple of minutes
    6d. Add the whiskey and mix, "Ooh fire!"
    6e. Add around a cup of cream
    6f. Add...meat broth?
    6g. Reduce until a dense consistency is achieved
    7. Add the steaks back to the pan with the sauce and mix it. Let it sit while you plate the mashed potatoes
    8. Plate! A big spoon of mashed potatoes as bed, one steak on top. And baby carrots as a garnish
    9. Enjoy your beautiful medium rare steak!!!!!!! And sauce.
    Also, side note. Delish, or chef Darren. Please don't sue me if somehow I am infringing some copyright by writing this down. I am doing it for fun and to maybe help someone get creative in the kitchen :).
    EDIT: I tried it at home and a big observation to make is *go hard on the salt* The Sauce can be a bit too bland so compensate by making the mashed potatoes slightly salty. Also, damn that sauce is good.
