Private Chef in Las Vegas. It's Not What You Think

This is a day in my life as a private chef in Las Vegas. Let's do some grocery shopping, talk about the reality of being a private chef and do some cooking. #LasVegas #PrivateChef #PersonalChef #EasyRecipes
Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Beef Marinade:
1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp vegetable oil
For the Sauce:
3 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup beef broth or water
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
For the Stir-Fry:
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, minced
1 red bell pepper, sliced (optional for color and flavor)
1/4 cup sliced green onions (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions:
Marinate the Beef:
In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the beef. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, beef broth (or water), brown sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Cook the Beef:
Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned and almost cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and red bell pepper (if using). Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. You can add a splash of water if needed to help steam the vegetables.
Combine and Finish:
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the beef is fully cooked.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the beef and broccoli stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles.

Thank you for being genuine. Crass freaks who live on takeout have no business judging your skills.

[@mikekollross8810]

I'd be interested in pricing discussions. Its always tough as a small business owner, exspecially when you first start out. Most people criminally under their worth. Adam Savage said if you aren't a little uncomfortable with what you are charging, you are probably charging too little. Now, he said that as a maker but I think it holds true for most new businesses

[@scottmeredith8409]

Don't let the haters bring you down. They want home cooking, simple like they would do. I live vicariously through you. I grew up learning cooking from my mother . She started by waitressing, married a chef in her 2nd marriage. She always had a way to make something out of nothing. Her soups and sauces were the best. Ended up working for a restaurant group. They had a commissary that they supplied certain/special items that she made. Ensured consistency. It comes down to timing and preparation. Cleaning as I go is always must.

[@thepeacefulqueendom]

I love your videos and especially this one. I appreciate you keeping it real & authentic. Yes, I would love for you to do a video about pricing for clients as a private/personal Chef.

[@CulinaryMisfits]

Thanks!

Also, from the looks of it, this family might be one of a kind.The way you talked about them makes me hope they'll choose you to stay with them.

[@snowboarder3n1]

I hear you when it come to baking. My client requests tons of baked items, cake, biscuits, weird olive oil loafs. I’m not a master baker, and in a restaurant as a chef I’d hire a baker. That being said, I do know the fundamentals of baking and can manage bakers cause I’m a chef. Can I bake better than someone who does that for a living, the answer is no. As a private chef I have to pick and choose my battles. If I can source a product that is up to my standards and taste, then I will. I have to remember though my client like most people who can afford private chefs, can afford to go out and eat at the best restaurants with the best chefs if she chooses. She chooses to eat at home, so it’s my job and duty to feed my client the best food possible. I really enjoy your channel, when you come back to Texas I’m down in San Antonio let’s cooks sometime. Keep up the good work chef.

[@mackattack701]

Oooh, it would be fun to watch a colab!

[@fkcoolers2669]

While it does break my heart that someone who can afford a private chef is choosing to eat this way (mostly kidding haha), I also see this as a form of hospitality and ultimately it's just all about keeping the client happy and fulfilling their wishes. I watch a lot of cooking content, mostly just how-to style channels, and didn't even know something like your channel was out there. I like it - just subbed.

[@Lyntintin1]

You are my favorite cooking show!!!!! I love how we get to come along with you to grocery shop or to cook. I love your idea of an internet kitchen in your place. And I love the longer video formats. Really enjoy your channel.....

Your clients sound awesome and down to earth. Nothing wrong with the crescent rolls or stove top stuffing. I think that most people are just grateful that they don't have to cook themselves.

[@maliaw8392]

Your video came up randomly for me, because I love to cook and watch cooking videos. What i enjoy watching that you share is how specific or random your clients can be. Canned biscuits and bagels in a bag are a win, but you as a chef are particular and precise in the other ingredients you chooses. Your approach to preparing meals, for what I can only assume are very well to do clients, is humble, yet thoughtful. I feed a family of 4. Do I bake our breads when I can? Certainly! Mostly in winter because in Iowa in July it’s too hot to microwave a hot dog. I shop and cook with the seasons. I grow what I can, gather what I can, and preserve what I can. But your channel gives me, and I can only imagine, many other home cooks an insight to just how food can be presented. Thank you!❤

Stumbled across the vid you made 3weeks ago and now I’m hooked, hope you’ll make more content

I don’t understand why people are getting upset over you getting what the client/clients ask for. For those who get upset: is he shopping for you? Are you paying him to buy you food? Is he cooking for you? No? Then your opinion doesn’t matter.

100% fabulous content! First time ever meeting a personal Chef. Top that off with a great way of seeing your world and you within it. Good insight all round. I cook for my wife. I can no longer eat (G-tube), but I like cooking for her and am learning a lot. I'll learn a bunch more watching and listening to you here I hope. Kid! Kids being happy is number one. Food is secondary to that. Kids like Adults are not always happy and that is just the way it is. Food can brighten the darkest of days.
