A cast iron dinner
 

Â* On tonight's menu was hamburger steaks in mushroom gravy served with
shredded frozen (well , I did cook them ...) hash browns and some glazed
carrots . The only thing left is some gravy , I always make enough for
leftovers because my wife likes it on scrambled eggs . I'll share the
recipes if anyone wants them ...

I sliced up some of the leftover new potatoes I boiled the other day and
made home fries in a cast iron skillet. Sprinkled with S&P and cooked
in a little corn oil until crispy but still tender. Served with a small
(4 oz.) strip steak, also cooked in a small cast iron skillet. :)

Â* I love my cast iron pans . Not quite as easy to clean as the coated
stuff but I'll use them first almost every time . About the only
exception is eggs , they slide out of a coated pan so much easier .

I have a dedicated 9" cast iron skillet for cornbread and a cast iron
cornstick pan. I use a smaller cast iron skillet to cook a burger (I'm
cooking for one) and small steaks. A larger one for crispy fried
potatoes. Never for eggs. It doesn't matter how well seasoned the cast
iron is, a coated pan has always worked better for me for eggs.

sure I love new recipes, although all I would need is the hamburger
steaks and the mushroom gravy. I cut and make my own hash browns in
the air fryer so I would not need that.

Â* I season 2 - 1/3 lb 80/20 patties liberally with salt , pepper
(lightly) garlic and onion powders . Brown well in a medium-hot skillet
, then add 1 8 oz can of white shrooms including liquid and most of a
can of beef broth . Mix remaining broth with about 3 tablespoons of
flour to thicken , stir in when pan comes to a boil . Reduce heat and
simmer until the meat juices run clear plus a couple of minutes . You'll
need to add salt to taste . I usually serve this over smashed taters ,
but I have a particular fondness for hash browns and gravy so that's
what I fixed tonight .

It was warm (32 F) and windless again last night so it was grilled
chicken breast on a salad dressed with sherry-vinegar vinaigrette.
A slice of bread drizzled with EVOO and sprinkled with coarse salt.

A 1-ounce square of semisweet chocolate for dessert.

Sounds quite tasty.

I bought an 8" store pumpkin pie yesterday. Only $2.99

Except for the probably inferior crust, it was a good deal.
I'll have some of that today. If good, I'll buy another
Monday for a Chrismas dessert on Wednesday.

Â* OK , I posted the hamburger steak recipe already , so here's the
glazed carrots - I assume you already know how to cook hash browns . I
put about a tablespoon and a half of butter with about a quarter cup of
light brown sugar and heat and stir over medium heat until the mixture
caramelizes then add 1 can of drained sliced carrots . I season with a
dash each of nutmeg and allspice plus about a quarter teaspoon of ground
cloves . Stir well until the glaze coats the carrots well - the moisture
remaining in the carrots will dissolve it into a syrup consistency . I
usually let it simmer gently for a few minutes before serving so the
flavors can permeate the carrots .

Hmmm...those carrots sound tasty, but mayhaps some bourbon in the glaze would "assist" the flavor "quotient"...

OK , I posted the hamburger steak recipe already ,

Oh I missed that:((( D. loves burgers. Recently I have been making
Chinese burgers and he loves them:) I would love to see yours!

so here's the
glazed carrots - I assume you already know how to cook hash browns . I
put about a tablespoon and a half of butter with about a quarter cup of
light brown sugar and heat and stir over medium heat until the mixture
caramelizes then add 1 can of drained sliced carrots . I season with a
dash each of nutmeg and allspice plus about a quarter teaspoon of ground
cloves . Stir well until the glaze coats the carrots well - the moisture
remaining in the carrots will dissolve it into a syrup consistency . I
usually let it simmer gently for a few minutes before serving so the
flavors can permeate the carrots .

I will certainly keep this one:)

Canned carrots are TIAD... exactly the same texture going in as out.
Fresh carrots are not the least bit difficult to pare and candy;
butter, brown sugar, honey, salt. white pepper... do not cook to mush.

I may try them with bourbon. I do them in a similar manner

Clean and slice carrots. Cook them in a pan with a good amount of
butter. I cover them initially. When nearly done, put the cover aside,
add some brown sugar and Chambourd. Stir to a syrupy consistency. I was
out of that so I used a blood orange liquor with good results too.

I cut up large "old" carrots into "diagonal" chunks and put them in a
shallow pan with the juice of an orange and water to more or less cover.
I let the water boil away (adding a little if the carrots aren't tender)
and then add a chunk of butter and toss the carrots around so that they
are glazed.
