The Gamer’s Cookbook

After a thousand years, the mighty dragon has fallen to our swords and magic. The old reptile’s meat is pretty tough after all that time. Cook it this way, and you will have a meal that you will speak of to your grandchildren! ~ Salibass, Dragon Hunter of Yuth’as

These ribs have a long marinating time, (up to a day before.) However, a long, slow cooking process will render melt in your mouth ribs. Since dragon meat is in short supply these days, we will use the next best thing - beef ribs.

Makes enough for a medium sized gaming group, including the GM. (Serves 6)

• 2 kg (4.5 lbs) beef shortribs
• 125 mL (1/2 cup) soy sauce
• 75 g (1/3 cup) sugar
• 45 mL (3 tablespoons) sherry
• 1 pear, cored and roughly chopped
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 scallions chopped
• 30 mL (2 tablespoons) sesame oil
• 30 mL (2 tablespoons) roasted sesame seeds
• 2 g (1/2 teaspoon) fresh grated ginger

1. Remove papery membrane from the back of the beef ribs with a sharp knife and towel.
2. Dissolve sugar, soy sauce and sherry in a bowl.
3. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Pour over meat; marinate 3 hours to overnight.
5. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
6. Place ribs in casserole dish, pour marinade over top. (Marinade should come to over halfway point in meat. If necessary, add more water.)
7. Cover with wax paper and aluminium foil.
8. Bake in oven for 2 to three hours, checking to see that the liquid level remains halfway covering the meat. (Add more liquid if necessary.)
9. Once bones start to break free of meat, the ribs are done.
10. Remove from the oven and re-cover with foil. Rest for 10 minutes to allow the meat’s juices to relax.
11. Serve hot with steamed rice.

This recipe comes from CaribbeanGamer from over at the Fantasy Grounds boards. Thank you CaribbeanGamer!

You might think that, with all the contracts that I take, that I am always eating out. While that might be true with some average mercs, I am one of the best. To be the best, you have to start right! There are no pansy ingredients in these burgers, only the essentials. You won’t catch me putting fairy onions or pussy mushrooms in my burgers. Give me MEAT, and forget the bun! Now, that’s a burger!   ~ LTC John McLeman
