The World War II Meal I Can't Stop Eating

[@jeromethiel4323]

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.

[@redblue40rc33]

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!

I wake up to pocketful of sunflower seeds, wash em down with half a dozen raw eggs. That'd keep me going till middle of the afternoon. When I got peckish again I'd eat the chicken .... raw. Come sundown, as I trudged back to the cave, I'd probably pick some mushrooms and harvest some honey from a bee hive. Honey mushroom sandwiches before bed.

[@60Airflyte]

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.

It sounds like an inch steak that has been tenderized.

My mom (who is no longer alive) used to make a similar recipe as this but she put large diced ham and fresh okra cut in roughly half inch slices in a large cast iron skillet and it was a meal for 6 people in a skillet. That's my favorite recipe of hers. I miss it so much. Obviously I miss my mom more but if I was eating a serving of that meal in a skillet it would take me back to the days when she was still here. She cooked based on what was ripe and ready to eat from the garden.

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.

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.

I like to get my greens, too, so I would add a couple of collard green leafs, but cut the stems and cook them with the spuds and celery. Collard greens would be added last, because I wouldn't like to overcook them like most people do. I would just cook them until they are wilted. Another trick is to just cook all that stuff up in a pan and add the eggs over the top and cover. Flip them after a couple of minutes and hopefully most of the vegetable stick together. Don't cook it too long after flipping, because I like my yolk wet.

Literally only use it for color. Red, orange and green.

[@anubian860]

I like eating them like apples

[@harvestblades]

As someone who primarily eats meat & stays away from carbs due to health issues I can vouch for steak & eggs especially if we are talking about a ribeye. Heck, I even really enjoy a good fried egg done medium served over grilled burgers. I am with you on this that some good fried potatoes like these make an absolutely amazing meal!

[@megraines5683]

Thank you! Green peppers are dumb. 🙌

[@Nel33147]

Oh come on, they’re not that bad.

[@jameshenderson5385]

Green peppers are GREAT!!!

4:20 I make my own seasoning rub. After seasoning my Rib Eye I put it in My Smoker with cherry wood for at least three hours, running it low and slow until it hits 135-140F (54-60c) only changes I'd make is Olive Oil or peanut, because I have them. and I'd toss in a few sliced pickle Serrano's, because I made them a while back and keep forgetting that they are on the top shelf of my fridge... all in all, very well made good sir.

I grew up in Wyoming; this isn't a military meal there, it's a cowboy breakfast. I went on a school trip overnight once. My fellow students did not want to sit with the teacher for breakfast; I didn't know why, so I sat with her (not much room in the diner). She ordered a steak "branded", that is, it barely touched a hot grill before being served. So much red...

[@davidcox3076]

That looks delicious. As a type II diabetic, this would be a great start to the day. A ton of protein and very filling. Just go easy on the potatoes. A thick ham steak with eggs is a yummy variant.

[@Pink_Noodle]

Green, eggs, and ham variant if you find a good veggie to replace the potatoes

[@coffeebux]

@2:13 well that's what I've been doing wrong.

[@tomcan2246]

That’s not medium rare 😂😂

[@Joe_Montfort]

You’re right. It’s not even close.

[@livewire4519]

I have steak and eggs for dinner sometimes too. My favorite meal. That with a side of fresh fruit.

[@Hepp47]

I cringed so hard at 0:44 why ruin a healthy nutritious breakfast with a pan thats coated in a toxic layer of teflon that releases microplastics into your food.

[@davidfence6939]

Says the Cringelord himself!

[@Hardcoresual]

Because it tastes better. Microplastics for THE WIN

My grandfather served on Hornet and Intrepid in the Pacific - every morning, steak and eggs.

[@davidchaplin8619]

Over in the UK I have never heard of this , I can't wait to try it and showing how you properly cut a paper blew my mind. Ahahah 😮😮

[@ricolives1166]

Steak & eggs is arguably the best meal in general. I have it every Monday for dinner. And steak 3 times a week for dinner.

[@L3ZC]

This is what I eat almost every single day for lunch and dinner after I started living alone , I just mixed what I liked to eat the most when my mom cooked and Kabam! I got this meal

[@redfoot69]

My dad fought in WW2 in Pacific; he told me only time soilders had steak was when the killed a water Buffalo.

Enough to feed 4 people, and enough butter to give 4 people a cardiac

Bro, home fries FTW. So easy and so good. Whenever the family would get together, the next morning we would ALWAYS have scrambled eggs, bacon and fried potatoes!

[@Cadmun]

10:49 Very optimistic of him to assume it’ll feed up to 4 people. I finish this on my own 😂

[@greenblack6552]

I used to make a similar breakfast for myself back when home office was started. I would dice potatoes, onions and cook some mushrooms along with them. Combine that with a steak and eggs and you got yourself a very tasty breakfast.

[@ShawnMcEnany]

Ooooo boy it's my favorite meal even at supper time!!!

[@TyfoiD75]

Next time, after x-mas ofc, that I have a day off, will definitely try this. I eat only 1 time a day, so this looks nice.

[@nothomelessonyoutube]

I have been doing Venison, eggs, and sweet potatoes. To a method very similar to this. I think the best breakfast Meat, Eggs, and random veggies you have.

[@tomasnozka1]

I am glad I watched this after I had my supper 🙂.

[@JesusIsLordLasVegas]

Wow brother. Looks fantastic. I eat meat, eggs, & veggies cooked in olive oil and butter over a bed of lettuce every day for breakfast (usually my only meal). It's what they call the Keto Diet these days.

[@paulsiro1775]

I will make this for my daughter ❤.
