VELVET STEAK WITH KOREAN CHILI BUTTER
Velveting is a technique that is usually used for stir-fries, but I decided to try it on pan-fried top sirloin steaks, and my experiment was a great success! The theory behind velveting is that the egg white, cornstarch, and rice wine mixture coats the surface of the meat, locking in moisture and giving it a tender, velvety texture. Top sirloin is lean and doesn't have a lot of fat, but these steaks--thanks to the velveting--were unbelievably juicy! Serve with rice or pasta to soak up the juices.

Steps:
- Whisk egg whites, cornstarch, rice wine, and soy sauce for marinade together in a bowl until very smooth and foamy.
- Trim silver skin from sirloin steaks. Place steaks between 2 pieces of plastic wrap on a cutting board and pound to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Transfer steaks to a rimmed plate and lightly sprinkle both sides with kosher salt.
- Pour marinade over top and flip a few times to make sure steaks are well coated on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap, or transfer steaks and marinade to a zip-top bag, and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours, flipping once or twice while marinating.
- Mix butter, chili paste, salt, and green onions for chili butter together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust if needed. Set aside at either room temperature or in the refrigerator until needed.
- Remove steaks from the refrigerator and toss a few more times in the marinade.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and pan-fry until meat springs back to the touch and is medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
- Remove from heat and place steaks on warm plates. Let rest for 3 to 4 minutes. Top with chili butter and green onions.

KOREAN-STYLE TEXAS CHILI
There's nothing like a rich, meaty (and beanless) bowl of Texas chili-except, of course, for Edward Lee's recipe, which mixes in spicy Korean gochujang and dark beer.

Steps:
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil over medium heat; add half the meat and brown on all sides, 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining oil and meat.
- Return the meat to the pot, and add garlic, onion, and jalapeño; stir to combine. Add remaining chili ingredients, making sure the beef stock covers everything. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let simmer uncovered, 1½-2½ hours, stirring occasionally.
- Chili is done when you can easily break apart the meat with a wooden spoon. Do this with half of the meat, leaving some in cubes.
- Assembly: Ladle chili into individual serving bowls and top with cheddar, scallions, sour cream, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
