[Andy M.]

It's going to be Coleslaw & Swedish fried steaks. But I'd rather eat at Andy M's :>)

Give a person a meal of okra and lamb stew and you feed them for a day. Give the recipe and you feed them for a lifetime.

Shark, freshly caught

What kind of shark, DB? Looked like a Nurse shark, but couldn't see the head.

We're having spelunked vintage Pasta y Fagioli.

 

[ChefDB]

Sandbar. Very similar to a blacktip.

 

[Barbara L]

Ham, green beans, and salad.

A friend recommended it.

Pdf'd and saved to my "virtual" recipe file. Let us know what you think of it, Steve. Sounds good.

I made a pan of beef/pork meatballs today for the freezer. Used the drippings to make gravy, so it's meatballs and gravy and mash potatoes. And a half acorn squash baked. I have a hankering for some ice cream and I think I will make a quick run up to the store.

Thank you Andy. This looks really good I will make it next time I buy lamb

Well, I made it to the store so the Chop Steak is on! Last minute addition, I thought it was absolutely imperative to make a blackberry cobbler. Lives depend on it.

 

[Chef Maloney]

What are Swedish fried steaks?

Actually, I don't know why the name Swedish is in there. My mom's way:

SWEDISH FRIED STEAKS (Dutch Oven or Lg. Skillet w/Lid)

1 1/2 Lbs. Round Steak, tenderized
2 Tbslp. Vege Oil
4 Lg. Tomatoes, peeled, chopped
2 Lg. Carrots, sliced
2 Tblsp. Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tblsp. Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Flour
Salt & Pepper
1 Tblsp. Dry Mustard

Mix together Flour, Salt, Pepper, Mustard. Cut meat into portions. Press into Flour mixture.
Heat Vege Oil in Dutch Oven and fry steaks to brown both sides.
Combine Tomatoes, Carrots, Worcestershire & Brown Sugar.
Pour over Meat in Dutch Oven.
Cover and either bake in oven at 350 or simmer on stovetop for 90 minutes.

CWS (and powerplantop, taxlady, Chef Maloney, and Dawgluver).

The stew was really delicious. I wish I would have remembered to take a photo. A couple of things I did different than the recipe. First, I had no potatoes on hand (I don't eat them much) so I used sweet potatoes. Second, I like pearl onions, so I doubled the amount the recipe called for. I also threw in a parsnip that was leftover from a meal earlier in the week.

I also found that the meat needed longer than 45 minutes to get tender. I ended up simmering it for about an hour and fifteen.

Perfect meal for a chilly, late autumn evening.

We had salmon and sweet potato fries. Pie for dessert.
