What did everyone cook today?
-
First time making chicken fried steak. My better half wanted chicken schnitzel that was my compromise until later next week. Not as tasty as I have had down south, more practice needed.
To another day on the right side of the grass.
Lite and simple tonight. Roasted garlic rub on grilled chicken breast with grilled fresh green and purple asparagus from the garden. Desert was a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream topped with a shot or two of Buffalo Trace bourbon cream.

YooperDog That’s what trying to do it yourself is all about. Believe it’s in the bread crumbs seasoning or the extra black pepper in the sauce. There’s always that one trick that puts it over the top. Good luck on the testing table.

GWG8541 Bourbon cream on ice cream is a piece of heaven. Congrats.

YooperDog That looks fantastic, and a great idea. I love chicken fried steak, but never thought of making it myself. How did you make it?
Jonesy YooperDog Chicken fried steak is a staple around here. There are hundreds of recipes out there. In its simplest form just use cubed steak (tenderized round), seasoned flour, egg wash, seasoned flour, pan fry in cast iron around 350 a couple mintues aside until golden brown. Pair with mashed potatoes and some homemade gravy.

YooperDog Jonesy I agree with zbigjeff on the black pepper. As Tex_77 pointed out its easier than you think and a southern staple. Cast iron and black pepper is the key for me. It was.most likely born from those German immigrants in the south from a good schnitzel recipe. I normally season my own flour, but if you don’t I’ve used this seasoned flour and it was good. I just added a little extra black pepper.

GWG8541 Yea, me too. Really sad thing is that because of fraudulent marketing and misinformation, we now are given less healthy options in our process food. It’s why I avoid process foods.

Wow! You guys are awesome with the ideas. It seems I remember my grandma having a can/pot/something on the stove with some sort of whiteish/brownish congelled gook in it. Must have been saved drippings.“Never eat more than you can lift.”

I have tried to duplicate those McD fries, based on old recipes I found on the ol’ inter web, but they just don’t taste the same.Jonesy Hard to get Beef tallow. Need a two stage cook. 1st is about 240 for about 4 minutes. let them cool. then 350 till it is nice and golden brown. got to make sure not to overload the fryer of whatever you use. If the oil temperature drops much, they will be greasy.
I’ve never tried lard, but would be interesting. I recently got duck fat and that is suppose to be over the top.

Chef FAT_BOB knows duck fat… He even pickles duck eggs in beer. He may be a source for the fat

In 2007 we planted an oak tree in our back yard to celebrate buying our house and starting our family. We’ve called it the Family Tree ever since. Now, as my former softball player wife (who would kill me if I posted a picture of her on here so shhhhhh) works with the boys on their batting, underneath the Family Tree, I’m cooking dinner for the family using a fire made entirely of wood taken from the very same family tree. It feels kinda cool to me. Sorry if my stories bug anyone. To me the story is important and kinda defines the food…
Hey Whopper! That’s flame broiled!
