The World War II Meal I Can't Stop Eating

I'm an old guy from Texas. This is my favorite breakfast. Thank you for showing me the correct way to do skillet potatoes.

[@johnpalmer5131]

Same here and if you go a little light on the potatoes (to reduce the carb count), it is relatively heathy. Would love someone to CGM test on this breakfast… better it would fair well (ie little or no glucose spike)😊

Steak and eggs is always the right choice. From an old rugger, who did some ranch work (not a cowboy, I just know how to buck hay, pick dirty pony feet, and scoop pens). Steak and eggs will power you through the day.

Used to call this a farmers breakfast when i was growing up. You wanted a big hearty meal, because you weren't going to be home for lunch. So you'd pack out a fairly light lunch (to eat in the fields), just to kill your hunger. Supper was usually pretty light and vegetable heavy. And we always had either a pie or cake for desert. Because working on a farm, in the 70's, was a huge expenditure of calories.

[@markrogers1786]

It’s all makes sense except the light supper. Dinner was always the biggest meal of the day on the farm. Being to full made you lazy according to grandma. Small meals until supper so you could go into a food coma for the night.

Homemade buttermilk biscuits with fresh cooked sausage patties and Welches concord grape jelly was a treat going out the door during farming days....momma used to make these biscuits for years....2 all ya needed till dinner time....always good to see momma coming out to the field in her car with the trunk full of a big pot of blackeyed peas, cornbread, fried chicken, fried okra, french fries, fresh slice garden tomatoes, onion, and mason jar sweet tea on ice......in my opinion it was meal from heaven...the taste and smell from her car was heaven for me..RIP Momma 9-14-21 and Daddy 3-3-98 cotton, corn, and soybeans was our life!

Nearly half a century ago I was a waitress at an olde timey diner. We served what was called a breakfast steak. Now that I know a little more about steak it seemed like a thin ribeye. It had a lovely juicy cap. It was cooked from frozen and had a wonderful crust while still getting a nice medium rare. Some customers ordered medium rare and were happy with their order. The steak was floppy and the entire steak had a loose … I don’t know the term… the entire grain (?) was loose like a cap is now. It was so tender and I took it for granted. I’d make sure to get in way before opening so the cook (that’s what we called him) could make me steak and eggs. It was perfection! 👌🏼 I wish I could find a steal like that again with the entire steak having a cap like grain, still tasty being cooked from frozen, and not super thick. This steak was a manageable size.

[@jackcullen69]

Sounds great! Probably 1 inch thick? I’ve tried half to 3/4 inch thick ones and it’s hard to get a nice crust while staying at medium rare using a non stick skillet

[@60Airflyte]

@ an inch could be right. I don’t think they used nonstick pans to cook the steak. They were pretty rough in that kitchen and I don’t know if a nonstick would have lived too long back there but it’s possible. America’s Test Kitchen has a great recipe getting a beautiful sear on a steak using a nonstick pan and flipping several times. We’ve been using that recipe this year.

[@SillyNolan]

It sounds like an inch steak that has been tenderized.

A frozen steak fried in oil can reach that crust while the frozen center requires longer cook times.

Well, if you kill a cow, then keep an eye out for potatoes anywhere en route, while you sneak around trying to steal some eggs and try to cook and scoff it out of sight of your 'comrades' ? That would obviously be a desert recipe though. [Double entendre intentional]

[@SGT_Fon]

So you're not wrong, before each big action in Iraq we would get this exact meal. Thing is all the cooks were from Bangladesh. The "steak" was about as tender as my boot leather and it and the potatoes were both seasoned with a curry that tasted like what walking into an Indian market smells like. 2 eggs any way you wanted as long as they were cooked through to the consistency of my boot sole. I think the command did it to piss us off before we engaged the enemy. We had around 8 diffrent markets where we could get fresh Naan, goat cheese and honey and we would hit one of them for bfast. So worth it. For the record, yours looks better!

[@fredsanford5954]

Steak and eggs are a super healthy meal. High-quality protein, with a bit of nice fat for energy. No carbs, so you get fully satiated without overeating, and will stay in a good mood and energized for much longer before having to eat again.

[@Mary_Magdalene]

Exactly 💯 thank you! There's nothing wrong with eating like this! The potatoes are starch, so there's some carbs, but it's not bread and wheat so it's good for people who are gluten intolerant! I would also use long grain or whole grain rice in place of potatoes too, which could also pair well with this! Just keep the egg yolks runny to mix in with the rice good 🤤😋 now that would be yummy!

[@hiephiep12]

I would replace the potato for some sautee vegetables, for fiber and minerals.

[@dra6o0n]

If not a big steak, then smaller portions of steak slices or maybe salt beef to go along with the eggs. Normally eggs when cooked don't have a strong flavor, so you'd need soy sauce or salt and pepper to flavor it. Salt beef or something like Luncheon meat that is fried helps add fatty and salty flavor to the egg on the plate.

Of course an Okie is gonna have a huge hunk of beef for breakfast! Same here in Idaho - the pokes have been eating that since before my Great-Great Grandaddy. From what I am told - had a horn of sourdough bread, and “biscuit” cookie, to get the sugar in, to go with it. Chuck wagon was breakfast/dinner. Lunch? Whatever you could carry until supper. All the hearty horses were used for cowboy stuff - the cook got the old, reliable ponies. Many times a mule. Ain’t fast, but she’ll get you there. A lot of the old time cooks would spend all day, from breakfast to dinner, just packing up and getting to the evening graze. Start cooking at 2-3 pm, to have enough good food, for the hands. I sure as hell couldn’t do it.

Steak and eggs was on the "approved" breakfast menu for the SR71 Blackbird pilots. Since they were basically astronauts on a high risk mission, every flight, they were allowed the splurge of steak for breakfast. ALOT, of them did not have the steak and eggs, because eggs, at high altitude, tend to expand in your belly. One pilot swore it off all together, due to serious abdominal pain as the aircraft got higher in altitude. Most of the time, they ate high yield/low waste puddings in toothpaste tube containers while in-flight. Nothing like hobo steaks and eggs for breakfast, especially in the wild. I will nuke-oven a couple potatoes the night before, to be cut up in the morn for fried potatoes, skin and all.

LOVE steak and eggs, and I'm big into veg, but I've never understood what people like about Bell peppers. To me they smell like wet garden clippings ready to throw on the compost heap! Not as bad when roasted black.

[@thomasnewell8328]

Hell yes that's breakfast and love the Wolf stove! Hope to get one. Thanks Chef!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@tomthalon8956]

Fancy for once in a great while. But too many steps for breakfast when you wake up. Scrambled with some kielbasa chunks and toast. Where's your toast?

[@SamwiseOutdoors]

Oh man, I was going to ask about parboiling the potatoes, but thrn you fired a shot across the bow of green peppers and I'm in a fightin' mood. This aggression will not stand, man!

this isn't just a breakfast; this is a manly breakfast!

[@MColvello]

Where I live this meal would cost me a month of my income just in butter lol

[@nealjolly5434]

You must be talking about the generals or so-called soldiers, who weren't on campaign. The regular WW2 soldiers got this meal, maybe once, before each campaign. The rest was mostly C-rations, cold without being heated. Even worse, D-rations. The boys in the battle of the Bulge January 1944 on the Western Front. It was winter, cold, and snow everywhere. Fires where not allowed because of the nearby German army. Cold meals and lucky to have a cup of instant coffee. When they did have warm meals and had one on hand. They would heat they're cups, using a small heater stove, while in they're fox holes.

it may be called steak and eggs, but the main ingredients are butter and garlic!

[@kylerenneberg3069]

Minus the stake the eggs and the potatoes have been my family's choice of breakfast for the past 4 years when my wife decided to buy me a ceramic flat top grill for Father's Day

In the UK in the 40;s Steak was very rare and could only get on the black market!!!

[@infinitybeyond6357]

"feed 2 to 3 people" nope, it all mine.

[@Ngaihawma420]

Aint no way soldiers were having steak breakfasts during WW2. They may get it before an attack like D-day but its definitely very rare

[@skorpysk]

You know that... most soldiers in ww2 and ww1 didn't eat breakfast at all.. right?

[@kingech_B15]

I never knew I love food so much.
