Steak and poutine!

Making:

Steak with mushrooms onions and poutine

1 serving prepared 

Here's what I have:


Gluten-free Gavy:

1/2 cup Beef broth 
1 tbsp Butter 
1 tbsp Gluten free all-purpose flour 
salt/pepper - to taste

6 oz Strip steak - marinated 
1/4 cup Onion 
cheese 
5 oz Potato 
3 Button mushrooms sliced
1tsp Butter 
1 Whole Scallion sliced

Preparation:

The steak was marinated in Tamari and Worcestershire sauce for about 7 hours.

The oven is preheated to 425, the potatoes word result in a little olive oil no salt or pepper and place in the oven for 20 minutes.

While the potatoes were roasting I started the gravy. First melting the butter in a small pot (medium heat) until completely melted and then adding the gluten-free flour stirring constantly to make a roux.  Once the mixture was well combined and bubbly I added the scallion whites and then beef broth continuously stirring. Eventually the mix thickened up to a gravy,  at this point I seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. 

Once the gravy was finished I got the cast iron pan hot adding half of the remaining butter. The sides of the steak were seared first, 1 minute per side.  I added the remaining butter I laid flat to cook 4 more minutes top/bottom. Cook time was 10 minutes total.  

Once the steak was done I set it aside to rest and put the remaining butter in the pan to cook the onion and mushrooms until the onions were clear. During this step I did add a bit of beef broth to pull the remaining steak season into the onion mushroom mix. By the time this is done the steak should be well rested.

I used just enough cheese and gravy for the potatoes then topped that with scallion greens.

The plate!


This was a pretty good comfort food meal and the gravy came out super nice so I'm glad there are leftovers. Next time I try this I think I'll do green vegetables as sides.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
