Making Dinner in 1796 |Fire Cooking Delicious Meat| ASMR Real Historic Recipes

[@EarlyAmerican]

Here you will find the recipe for "Beef Collops" translated into modern directions from the original, which you can see at the end of the video 😁thank you for your company today! To fry Beef Collops, 1796 Beef, 2 pounds of any sort that one can afford nutmeg, 1 teaspoon 1 lemon 1/2 of an onion A bundle of fresh parsley, thyme & rosemary Butter, the size of a walnut + 1 teaspoon for helping the beef to not stick to your pan Flour, approximately half a cup Salt & pepper to taste Water Pickles, whichever ones you prefer! I used pickled cabbage & onions which worked nicely Pound your beef with the back of a knife or a rolling pin (the much safer option) till tender. Cut it up into squares that are about 2 inches long. Cut up half of an onion and mix it with the zest of 1 lemon. Set this aside. Now sprinkle your beef with nutmeg and flour. Rub it in well until it is all evenly coated. In a skillet melt, at medium high heat, melt a small dollop of butter just enough where you don't suspect that your beef will stick. Once melted add in your floured beef and onions. Cook for 2 minutes only, stirring frequently. Once 2 minutes have passed pour in enough water to just cover the beef. Add in a ball of butter that you have rolled in flour. Add salt, pepper and a tied up bundle of herbs. Reduce your heat to simmer and cook until the gravy has thickened and your beef has reached your desired texture. This happens quickly so be ready! For me it only took 7 minutes to finish as I prefer my beef to be cooked medium. Once done serve with pickles of any sort. Traditionally beef was served with horseradish and pork with mustard. Enjoy! A Boiled Potato Recipe, Justine's Potatoes, skin on or off depending on what you prefer Butter Salt & pepper to taste Fresh parsley & thyme, diced Water, for boiling Boil your potatoes until they are quite soft, which can take 20 minutes or more. Stick a fork in them to test if they are done. If your fork passes through them easily and they are soft then they are done. Drain them of the water. Combine the potatoes with a dollop of butter, salt & pepper and diced parsley & thyme. It's that easy! In modern homes you may enjoy the addition of granulated garlic powder.

Thank you for the receipt and video ❤ Could I ask what type of candles you use in the house? I know that in Britain different social classes of this time would have used candles of different waxes that reflected their income and status. Also, would the household have made their candles, or purchased them from a general store / provisioner. Thank you in advance 😊

[@EarlyAmerican]

​@@Ater_Draco We use white beeswax candles for health reasons as it burns cleaner. Someone back then could have used tallow, which tends to leave black smoke on the walls and ceiling, beeswax, or bayberry wax. Tallow candles were the candles of the poor and had a lot of drawbacks. They burn dirty, smell foul when burning and drip quickly when melting. Bayberry candles were the most expensive. They are made from a bush called the wax myrtle bush. They smell beautiful when burning, like flowers and herbs. The amount of work involved in processing the plant into a candle was huge though which is why they were so expensive.

[@bonniegarber9915]

I wonder if you could use the herbs you cooked with the beef and add to the potatoes? I think this is a great dish you've made. The pickled vegetables help aid digestion and the horseradish is so healthy for you. Try the horseradish in smaller amounts, Ron ate way to much of it at once... lol

[@Ater_Draco]

@EarlyAmerican thank you so much for your reply. I wondered whether your candles were a type of beeswax, because I noticed over your videos they burned slowly and cleanly. I've smelled myrtle bushes, so I can imagine how beautiful a house would have smelled burning mayberry candles. Thank you again so much 💖

I have a 1930’s cookbook my grandmother helped put together as part of a cooking club in Chicago back then, and nutmeg is occasionally used to season beef. I tried it. It’s very good. Not too much, just enough to have this mysterious, “this is really good but I don’t know what it is” added to it. It’s nutmeg!

[@sharoncontini3284]

Nutmeg is the secret to cooking and baking. Makes food delicious for sure.

[@xxliaz9068]

[@kathybrandt6060]

I love to cook over a fireplace in my kitchen. I’ve volunteered for 15 years at a local historical society and for a short time I was in charge of cooking demonstrations. It was wonderful. It was a mixture of history and Girl Scouts. I would cook there as often as I possibly could From four to spring. And then in the summer, we would cook outside over an open fire. Thank you for reminding me of those times. My son does not like to cook over an open fire. I met my husband volunteering at that historical site. A mutual friend introduced us because I asked the blacksmith for a tool to get my pie plates out of my Dutch oven. He sent me my husband.

[@georgemacewan9674]

Justine, your smile said it all!! What a wonderful way to spend a rainy afternoon!! So warm and cozy!! Thank you for sharing this.

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

I like the silent, no speaking style of the video, it has a nice calming effect and seems to be more effective in teaching the viewer on how to cook the dish. Well- done video.

I'm going to miss that little cabin once your house is built! For now I'll savor all the time left watching you cook up delicious meals in your cozy kitchen.

I would have never thought to add grated lemon zest to onions for a recipe like this. It looks delicious!

[@MsYaddayaddayadda]

May I ask, how readily available were lemons and other citrus if you didn’t live in California or Florida?

[@ericblair6984]

The question is, where would someone have gotten lemons in 1796? Probably not a common fruit, especially in the frontier or the northern states.

I love the sound of a crackling fireplace. I grew up in an old teachers farmhouse with no central heat and a good woodstove. And its a key component to buying a house. It must have a working fireplace for heating & emergency cooking. 😇🙏

[@femalism1715]

Thanks Justine! The meal looks delicious! I'm looking forward to Chew & Chat so I can find out how delicious it tastes. It is so cool that meat tenderizing techniques haven't changed much! (I think a little mushroom ketchup would work well as a tenderizing marinade)

Lovely. A perfect video at the end of a looooonnnngggg day. I wonder how parents (mom’s) kept the little ones out of the fire while mom cooked. I baby proofed everything, I had a lock on my oven. It’s so much easier today it’s unreal. (And I’m so happy to be living today!) also, you make historical cooking look so easy.

[@LitoGeorge]

Honestly, you sound like an overprotective, helicopter mother. I have had three children, and as a single parent raised them. They received guidance on what to touch and what not, and my youngest decided that Dad didnt know what he was talking about. She got a blister for her efforts, twice (two different implements). She was headstrong, but learned. My girls know their way around a fire, having started as soon as they were a few weeks old. Knives too. I am astounded at this North American culture that is teaching our young to be absolute cotton balls scaredy cats. It does not bode well for the future. Lighten up, let the bruises, scrapes and etc happen and let their childhoods be awesome. Good luck.
