Marjoram Tokany Recipes

Steps:

• Cut beef into 3/4 by 4 inch strips; set aside.
• Cook bacon until crisp; remove bacon and reserve. Pour off most of the drippings. Brown onions lightly in remaining drippings. Add beef and cook slowly over medium heat until browned.
• Season with salt and marjoram. Add water, cover tightly and cook slowly for one hour until beef is tender.
• Add bacon, stir in sour cream; heat through, about 5 minutes.
• Serve over hot egg noodles if desired.

Steps:

• Trim off excess fat from the pork; dice and reserve it. Cut the rest of the meat in 1 1/2-inch chunks. Mix coriander, five-spice, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the pork and, using your hands, coat the meat with the spices.
• Heat a large sauté pan on medium, add the reserved pork fat and cook until it renders, 5 minutes or so. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the pork, toss in some salt, and sear until browned. Remove to a platter. Reduce heat to low. Add the shallots, sauté until soft, then add the apple and garlic, sauté briefly and add sherry. Cook a few minutes until reduced, add 3/4 cup of the stock, stir, return the meat to the pan, season with salt, baste it, cover and cook on low 30 minutes.
• Add another 3/4 cup of the stock and tuck in the turnips. Scatter 1 tablespoon of the marjoram and the thyme on top. Cover and simmer 45 minutes, adding a little more stock if needed; there should be sauce, but the meat should not swim. Check salt and pepper and serve, with the remaining marjoram strewn on top, or set aside and reheat, then serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper, and 1 tablespoon marjoram in large bowl. Place chicken on rimmed baking sheet. Pour tomato mixture over chicken, arranging tomatoes in single layer on sheet around chicken. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast until chicken is cooked through and tomatoes are blistered, about 35 minutes. Transfer chicken to plates. Spoon tomatoes and juices over. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon marjoram.
