  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Just picked my annual 1/4 of beef. Along with the assortment of yummy steaks, I get a handful of round steaks that I can never figure out what to do with. I know we have some good cooks on here...give me some ideas on how to prepare them or what to make them into.

You looking for something fancy? I'd just sear 'em on both sides and serve with eggs and hash browns...tasty breakfast :grin:.

The round steak. Add one can of cream of mushroom soup and dried onion soup mix in a crock pot for eight hours with a little water. Makes a great tender meat and gravy for potatoes. 5 out of 5 firefighter recommended

Tenderize with either the "stuff", pounding or through a tenderizer. Cut into 1 inch strips. Soak in teriyaki for four hours. Grill. Kids love this.

Homemade Beef Stroganoff....

Tenderize...Grill til medium rare, slice thin (or thick if you prefer), and then add to some sautee'd mushrooms, onions & garlic to get the meat to medium.....add a couple cans cream o'mushroom soup, cup of sour cream, and your cooked egg noodles.

Of course some people would have measurements, but I always cook this dish from feel/taste. This one is one of my favorites.

Cut it against the grain extremely thin and quick fry it in a little oil and fried onions and make a cheese steak..

Or grind it up with some pork fat back 10% fat to meat ratio and make some epic burgers just don't make em thick because the fat wont render out and make it juicy..

Or braise it and make Italian beef sandwiches

Chicken fried steak with a nice, peppery country gravy
Damn you, Rich.......was reading all of the comments before posting, hoping no one mentioned this.

REAL chicken fried steak is made with this cut of meat. Tenderize the HELL out of it, drop in an egg wash, flour (seasoned to your liking), back to the egg wash, then back to the flour. Get it coated nicely, shake off the excess, then drop in 350* oil for approximately 12 minutes. Will be AMAZING!

As for a gravy, you want to go with a white sauce. I'd just look up a recipe online for it. It's pretty simple, but many ways to do it. Chicken fried steak has a white gravy, and country fried steak has brown.

Let us know whatever it is you decide to do and please post pix along with the recipe!

Your friend and brother,


Jeffrey L.

No way! Hash browns with green onions, sausage patties and .........ok, I'll go with biscuits although I prefer the Croissants from Pilsbury!
