💛 SAVE this Gochujang Rosé Noodles!

This K-Fusion Shaved Beef & Udon Stir-Fry might be the ultimate Blackstone Productscomfort food.

Creamy, spicy, smoky, and packed with flavor. The heavy cream mellows out the bold sweet-heat of the gochujang, creating a silky, glossy orange sauce that coats every thick udon noodle. Add hard-seared ribeye, charred noodles, garlic, ginger, and that signature Blackstone sizzle, and you've got a meal that disappears fast. 🤤

👇 Full recipe below

🛒 **Ingredients**
• 1 lb shaved ribeye or sirloin
• 8 oz wide udon noodles, par-boiled & rinsed
• 2-4 tbsp gochujang (depends on how spicy you want it)
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup beef broth
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp sesame oil (divided)
• Green onions for garnish

🔥 **How to Make It**

1️⃣ Cook udon 1-2 minutes under package directions. Drain, rinse cold, and toss with a little sesame oil.

2️⃣ Preheat the Blackstone to medium-high. Add 1 tbsp sesame oil and sear the shaved beef in a single layer for 1 minute untouched. Toss and cook another minute. Move to a cooler zone.

3️⃣ Drop the noodles onto the hot griddle in the leftover beef fat. Let them char for about 60 seconds before moving them alongside the beef.

4️⃣ Add the remaining sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and gochujang to the hot zone. Stir-fry for 20-30 seconds until fragrant and bubbling.

5️⃣ Toss the beef and noodles into the gochujang mixture. Pour in the cream, broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir everything together as the sauce reduces into a rich, glossy glaze. About 30-45 seconds is all it takes.

6️⃣ Top with sliced green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil. Serve immediately.

💬 Would you add mushrooms, onions, or keep it all about the beef and noodles?

**My Favorite Blackstone Tacos!** 🔥🌮

I grew tomatillos this year for one reason... fresh salsa anytime I want it! And this roasted salsa verde takes these crispy cheesy tacos to the next level.

Seasoned ground beef, melty Chihuahua cheese, and corn tortillas crisped in oil until golden and crunchy. Top them with homemade salsa verde and sour cream, and you've got taco perfection.

**Roasted Salsa Verde Recipe:**
✅ 8-15 tomatillos, husked and washed
✅ 1-2 serrano peppers
✅ 1 dried New Mexico chile, deseeded
✅ 1 large onion slice
✅ ¼ green bell pepper
✅ 2 garlic cloves
✅ 1 handful cilantro
✅ ½ cup water
✅ ½ tsp cumin
✅ 1 tsp chicken bouillon
✅ Salt & pepper to taste

Roast the tomatillos, peppers, onion, bell pepper, and garlic until nicely charred. Blend with the remaining ingredients until smooth and enjoy!

Who else could eat tacos every day? 🌮😋

Think you can't get crispy General Tso's Chicken on a Blackstone Products griddle? Think again. The secret is a velveting marinade, a heavy cornstarch coating, and a shallow-fry oil pool right on the griddle. The result is crunchy, golden chicken coated in a sticky sweet-and-spicy glaze that's every bit as good as your favorite takeout spot.

🌟Recipe
Prep:20 Minutes
Cook:10 Minutes
Serves:4

Chicken & Marinade
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing w**e (or dry sherry)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 large egg white

Crispy Coating
- ¾ cup + 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ⅝ tsp salt
- High-smoke-point oil for shallow frying

General Tso's Sauce
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp chicken broth
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8-10 dried Chinese red chiles

Garnish
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 3 green onions, sliced thin
- Steamed broccoli (optional)
- Jasmine rice (optional)

Instructions

1️⃣ Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, Shaoxing w**e, baking soda, and egg white for 15 minutes.

2️⃣ Whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and ginger powder. Set aside.

3️⃣ Combine cornstarch, flour, and salt. Coat chicken until every piece is heavily covered.

4️⃣ Set up a two-zone griddle:
- Hot Zone: 400°F
- Cool Zone: 300°F

5️⃣ Create a shallow pool of oil on the hot side. Lay the chicken in a single layer and fry undisturbed for 3-4 minutes before flipping. Cook another 3 minutes until crispy and golden.

🔥 **This is the trick to crispy General Tso's on a griddle:** Don't constantly move the chic

Let it sit in the shallow oil pool long enough to build a crust before flipping.

6️⃣ Move chicken to the cooler side.

7️⃣ Remove excess oil. Add garlic and dried chiles to the griddle and cook for 30 seconds.

8️⃣ Pour on the sauce and let it bubble until thick and glossy. Toss the crispy chicken into the sauce and coat evenly.

9️⃣ Serve over jasmine rice with steamed broccoli. Top with sesame seeds and green onions.
JENJOY!

🥣✨ My official entry for “Your Take on a Childhood Favorite” is: The Chef Boyardee Glow-Up.
Taking a lunchbox legend and sending it to culinary finishing school.

Fresh pasta pillows stuffed with silky beef filling, griddled on the Blackstone Products until golden and crisp underneath, then steamed to perfection under the dome. They're served over a glossy pool of "Boyardee sauce" and topped with dreamy clouds of whipped lemon ricotta.

It's nostalgic. It's whimsical. It's slightly unnecessary. And it tastes exactly like recess feels.

🥣 THE RECIPE 🥣
🛒 INGREDIENTS
Pasta
• 1 package fresh pre-made lasagna or pasta sheets
• 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water (egg wash)

Smooth Beef Filling
• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Sauce
• 1 Mutti Pomodoro USA Passata
• 1½ tbsp sugar
• 1-2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Whipped Lemon Ricotta • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• Pinch of salt

To Finish
• Fresh Parmesan, grated
• Fresh basil leaves

PREP
1️⃣ Brown beef with seasonings on the griddle. Blend with Parmesan and tomato paste until completely smooth. Cool.

2️⃣ Lay out pasta sheets and place 1 tsp mounds of filling about 2 inches apart. Brush with egg wash, cover with a second sheet, press out all air pockets, and cut into ravioli. Place on a cornmeal- or semolina-dusted tray.

3️⃣ Blend ricotta, cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt until silky smooth. Transfer to a piping bag.

🔥
1️⃣ Combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on a cooler zone of the Blackstone until rich and glossy.

2️⃣ Oil the hot zone and sear ravioli for 1-2 minutes until golden. Add a splash of water, cover immediately with a dome, and steam 4-5 minutes until tender.

🍽️ PLATE
Spoon a pool of sauce into a bowl. Stack ravioli. Pipe whipped ricotta between them, then finish with Parmesan and fresh basil.

We all know the iconic scene. Anton Ego takes a single bite of ratatouille, and in a split second, he’s transported straight back to his childhood kitchen. 🪵🚲✨

That moment is exactly why I chose this movie for my entry into the "Food You’ve Seen in a Movie" category. To me, the best meals aren't just about fuel—they are powerful enough to invoke special times, comfort, and deep memories. Traditionally, a Confit Byaldi-style Ratatouille takes hours to slow-bake in an oven. But today, we are bringing movie magic to the backyard by using the intense heat of the Blackstone. We kick things off by simmering our upgraded sauce right on the griddle top in a heatproof saucepan to let those rich, savory flavors deeply develop. Then, we flash-sear paper-thin vegetable ribbons directly on the cold-rolled steel to lock in a rich, smoky caramelization before stacking them into a stunning gourmet rose. It’s elegant, movie-accurate, and proof that "anyone can cook" when they’re standing at a griddle.

Do you think I have a chance to win??
