You can also dust some flour onto your onions before adding the garlic to make a roux if you don't care for corn starch. You only need to cook out your flour for a few minutes to knock off the raw taste and it'll soak up all the goodness after you stir in the stock.
Also can dust your meat with flour before frying and when you put the meat back in to simmer the flour incorporates into a gravy. That also works for the crock pot too. Just dust the stew meat pieces, brown them, then in the crock and makes the gravy for you (you still need some broth and the veggies added too at that point).
Absolutely! Makes an incredible fond. I also like leaving the raw steaks in the fridge overnight on a wire rack, with a lil salt. Dries the outside, and leaves an incredible sear.
This is made once a week at my house. My Grandma started the tradition of Seven Sunday's Supper. We make Seven Steak, homemade yeast rolls, Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, macaroni and cheese and apple crisp and rum cake for dessert. Let me tell you, my husband loves my cooking, but he looks forward to Sunday the most.. ❤
I’m Cajun and steak w/ rice and gravy is a staple in just about every Cajun household a few times a week. Our method is similar. We season with Cajun seasoning and onion and garlic and cayenne and brown very , very well almost to the point of burning and add our Trinity and just water to make our gravy. Ask any old Cajun Maw Maw and she will tell you it’s called a grease gravy. Don’t let the term put you off lol it’s absolutely delicious especially with a spoonful of chow chow on the side! C’est Bon
@@dunbarf2413 Warm breakfasts like these have been a thing for centuries, especially on the countryside. It helps with digestion and gives you lots of fuel if you need to work outside in the cold for a long time. If I need to cut wood all morning I'd rather have this than a bowl of oatmeal or a sandwich
@@dunbarf2413 If you actually think about it you should fuel yourself heavily to get you through the day and then eat lighter at night, easier on your bodies digestion when you sleep.
@francesodle6069 Me too, and I had it all shined up, used it and then made the mistake of putting it in the dishwasher. Big mistake. Made it look dull, kind of like his lid does. Broke my heart. I love using it, the size is just right and cooks meat so good 👍
My mom used to make this and this makes me miss her more than ever. This was the last meal she made before she became inept and unable to take care of herself. She passed October 8 2022 and I hope everyone loves this recipe as much as I did
Awww❤ my grandma used to make this for me too as a kid. Unfortunately she's gone now too. Sorry for your loss. Enjoying the nostalgia making it the first time for my kids right now.
Roux is easy to make and keep. Add a pound of butter to a pot over medium low heat and melt it. Add in a pound of flour. Cook until your desired color. For all purpose use I like a medium blonde roux. Keep your mix over the medium low heat for anywhere between half an hour to an hour. Pay good attention to it, and stir it frequently or the bottom will stick and burn. When you've reached the color you're looking for, pour it off into a wide mouth mason jar or any wide mouthed jar. A leftover tomato sauce jar or whatever run through the dishwasher will be fine. Let it cool with the lid off. Once it cools, put your lid on and stick it in the fridge. It'll keep for a long time in the fridhe as long as it's cold. Use as needed.
My mom had a pan just like the one you used - wonderful recipe too! I have a feeling that the pan infuses all the love of the recipes made in it over the years.
There’s nothing but truth in that comment. Still use an old deep dish cast iron skillet that used to belong to my mom. It’s beyond seasoned after all these years. It may not physically add ❤ to the recipes but the memories of her cooking with it are sweet.
@@peternorton5648 people like you are going to be so much happier with life than most people because you can’t find joy and things like that. I am the same way and thankful for it.😇
I love southern people. This literally is one of the best meals. A little carrots and potatoes to simmer in there with the steak. Some good, toasted, thick bread. I could eat that everyday, every winter, for my whole life. Delicious.
It's stew. We grew up eating it especially in the winter when it's cold out. Lite coating of flour and brown chuck roast in a little oil like canola. Cut an onion in wedges get the carrots ready but leave in longer pcs. Put veg's in crock pot or dutch oven, put meat on top. I use beef stock put enough stock about half way up the meat.( I cover with beef onion soup mix)Don't cover, you don't want to boil the meat and everything in the pot will make more liquid.. If crock pot is on high at four to six hrs (depends how big the meat is). An hour before it is done put in peeled cut up gold potatoes. If you want a thicker gravy take meat and vegetables out of pot, take some flour and leftover stock, put in small container and shake til mixed. Stir into the pot, it will cook off any flour taste and no lumps. Salt and pepper to taste.
My mom’s from farm country in France and she makes a very similar stew to this. Great with some toasted bread or baguette and BUTTAH with some red wine or a tall boy bottle of Saison ale. délicieux!!!!!
Yummie, I love 7steak😋 That sir is a well loved/used magnalite pot, I got my 1st set when I got married n 86' n still have m I love m so much, I've added additional pieces thru yrs. Both my daughter's want but they'll haveta wait till I'm gone😉💞
Idk...I swear, these days it's nothin but fake-ass mashed potato bowls everywhere you look . I don't trust none of em, Been done wrong too many times, and these days its getting real real hard to be 100% sure. Mfers always try to say you can't get catfished by some potatoes. That is a whole. ass. LIE . Last week I was about to eat this mash potato bowl and the god damn thing ended up being a fuckin OVEN ROASTED potato bowl! That kinda surprise get mfers killed!! Prolly thought I was gonna leave the lights turned off and never notice or some shit. This other time I thought I was about to smash this one mashed potato bowl thats been lookin good af . Imagine my surprise when at the last minute I find out its a mf mashed potato PLATE! GTFOH with that shit! Like idgaf if it identify as a mashed potato bowl. Shits wishful thinking, Just because a mashed potato plate thinks it's a bowl don't make it true. It's just a God damn mashed potato plate in a bowl! 💯💯💯 That's why even tho this vid looks legit, I'm still suspicious cause it's cooking then the video cuts and it's all of a sudden in a bowl. Like what don't it want me to see? Kinda seems like it's got some shit to hide 🤨🤔🖕👊
I do this same thing and call it smothered steak. I do flour the 🥩 steak before browning it though. I add flour to the onions and mushrooms after I take the steak out to sauté them before adding a bit of water to make the gravy and then add the steak back into it and put the lid on with low heat to finish the cooking.
That looks delicious. I never heard of seven steak before, but it looks awesome. I might make that but add some potatoes and carrots towards the end. I love that pan too, looks like Justin Wilsons pan he cooked in.
It's good to add the flour and black pepper in those meat drippings and onions and brown it before you deglaze with stock. I use bone broth, msg, and mushrooms in the stock. Makes it more rich in the savory meaty flavor.
@@James.G.Ireland there a few handful of things that actively lead to cancer and bad health, which we can just substitute for better alternatives msg = monosodium glutamate, is basically fake salt, instead of using that just use pink himalayan salt flouride in toothpaste is another one of these, just use flouride free toothpaste high fructose corn syrup, just have drinks with natural cane sugar instead these thigns are everywhere cause we go to the lowest , cheapest , most easily available food products, which are mostly processed by the same few conglomerate food companies, that why it feels like its everywhere cause you keep buying the crap they have put out, kind of like going to walmart and doing all your shopping there. guess what everything in there has these ingredients that are bad for your health its not 1976 anymore, its 2023 we have the internet and giant corporations have taken a big chunk out of our western lifestyles
I was just thinking the same thing!!! I was mesmerized by the pot !!!! It’s so well seasoned that any thing you put in it is going to be bomb flavorful….
Naw his pot is and I QUOTE “well seasoned”. Guarantee it’s seasoned a pot you got. I have the same pot/roaster… you can cook on the stove or in the oven with it. And they AINT cheap. You probably wash your cast iron pan with a wire brush and soap 😂😂😂😂😂 (fyi don’t take it to heart. It’s all love when it comes to cooking)❤
I’m Cajun and it’s basically the only cookware we use. You can actually find these online. New or 2nd hand. Just google Magnalite Pots. I have a few from my Mom and Grandmother that I cook in and they are 90 + years old.
@@carollynt I gave all 8 pieces of mine away when I heard that the aluminum is very bad to cook anything in. Alzheimer's disease is not that old of a disease and neither is magnalite and other aluminum cookware traces of aluminum have been found in the brain tissue of deceased Alzheimer's patients. If you notice, most aluminum pots will be pitted on the inside and that aluminum leeches into the food being cooked over time. I only cook with stainless steel, porcelain lined and regular cast iron and glass cookware. Don't mean to worry anyone, just thought that I should pass that information along. God Bless and Happy Cooking 🙏😉
