Hearty Meat and Potato Stew – Fit for a Hero

To prepare for your epic adventure across Hyrule, you’ll need to fuel up on hearty, home-cooked meals. This meat and potato stew is perfect for restoring health and stamina after a long day of questing.

You’ll need:

• 1 lb beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup red wine (optional)

2. Add the onions, carrots, and potatoes to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the wine and broth and bring to a boil. Return the beef and any accumulated juices to the pot.
4. Reduce heat and simmer until the beef is tender, about 2 to 3 hours. Skim off excess fat from the surface. Remove bay leaves before serving.
5. Ladle the hearty stew into bowls and enjoy with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth. May the Goddesses bless you with health and courage for your quest ahead! This nourishing meal will fuel your heroism across the kingdom.

Goron Spiced Rock Sirloin

To make Goron Spiced Rock Sirloin, you’ll need to gather some essential ingredients. Head to your local bazaar and pick up rock sirloin, Goron spice rub, Hylian rice, and fresh mushrooms.

Once you have the goods, it’s time to cook. Start by coating the rock sirloin in the Goron spice rub. The blend of chili peppers, garlic, and rock salt will give the meat a kick of flavor.

• Sear the rock sirloin in a hot skillet with some olive oil until browned, about 5-6 minutes per side. Then, transfer to a baking dish and roast in a 400 F oven until the center reaches your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook about 15-20 minutes.

While the rock sirloin roasts, cook the Hylian rice according to package directions. Sauté the mushrooms in the same skillet you used for the rock sirloin. Season with salt and pepper.

When the rock sirloin has finished roasting, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Spoon the rice and mushrooms onto plates and top with slices of the spicy rock sirloin. Enjoy your hearty Goron-inspired meal!

Making Goron Spiced Rock Sirloin is the perfect way to experience the bold flavors of Death Mountain. With the right blend of spices and a little patience, you’ll be transported straight to the Eldin Province. Cook up an extra helping—we have a feeling Daruk would want seconds!
