Born in the northern parts of sweden, I never knew I could feel so strongly about Floral Hights Café and it's traditions. I love this series.

[@breeghunter]

Born in the southern parts of Sweden, and couldn't agree more.

[@dsjoakim35]

Born in the southern part of the northern part of Sweden 😁. This is exactly the way I make Biff Stroganoff, but I dont use a pressure cooker, I like my kitchen bomb free.

[@JohnGicking]

Having been to Sweden but never to North Texas and living in Central Florida, I agree.

[@deebop3539]

ah yes. Much like my fake memories of 1980’s Japan, my fake memories of Floral Hights Café really gets me reminiscing about the good old days.

[@Denby78]

@@deebop3539 I do remember the ambiance. And the genuine cousine that was served the the Floral Heights Café. I miss it so much. Joking aside, I'd pay a thousand dollars for a dining experience at the Café roughly 40 years ago just to compare notes wth Rip.

[@koleary1798]

I love this series. It seems like an extension of the whole SS ethos. Simple things done properly.

[@ktoth29]

Or is SS an extension of the FH ethos?

[@mikemusgrove9654]

“Simple things done properly.” Well said.

[@feldmannv]

I live in Russia and love this dish since childhood. It was unexpected and nice to know sirloin is popular in Texas.

[@dard4642]

That looks delicious. I never ate rice till I was a teenager. I grew up in Houston and we ate everything with potatoes (puhtatuhs). I would ask about rice and my dad would say, "you can go to Louisiana if you want rice. They eat rice there." That statement is an accurate measure of 1) how much input I had as to what we ate, and, 2) the degree to which my dad embraced diversity.😂

[@BaronVonGreenback1882]

Do potatoes grow well in Texas, I imagined that it would be too hot and dry there ?

[@dard4642]

@@BaronVonGreenback1882 I only ever remember eating russets unless it was Thanksgiving or Christmas when we'd have yams. I don't think that potatoes are grown in Texas, at least commercially. Texas, isn't dry until you are very far inland, like in west Texas. It is probably too hot for them. Possibly the wrong soil, too. The parts that might be wet enough to grow potatoes have a decent layer of topsoil but then it's just gumbo clay.

[@Fulcrum205]

@@BaronVonGreenback1882 it's too hot and humid and thus buggy. You can grow em but the bugs and rot will get most of em. Sweet potatoes are what we grow south of the Mason-Dixon

I just happened by because I felt like making sirloin tips. Anyone that takes the lid off the pepper shaker before using it, is my kind of guy. I don't even know why they come with holes at all. Thanks Rip, making these tomorrow.

[@RafaelCruzPodcast]

Rip transforms lives in the most fundamental manners, from the seminars, to the podcast, to the kitchen, and all the history in between. Thanks you!

[@dkahler82]

So far I've made every one of these except for the fried okra, and they've all been excellent. I will certainly make the sirloin tips next. This series has kinda opened my eyes to how useful beef tallow can be in cooking. I never used to use it. Also it's shown me that just basic salt and pepper can go a long way. I use an Instant Pot instead of the more traditional pressure cooker in this video but it's easy to adapt to that based on the info you give. Thanks Rip!

[@adamnewport6406]

This series is so good, I've made each one of these recipes and this so far has been my favorite. Thank you, I look forward to each your shows.

[@jamesnicolson100]

I have just made this tonight, it was delicious, much appreciated by the entire family. I did the chilli last week it was great as well. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@sthatswasupp.778]

Thanks Rip! first time I’ve ever heard you get emotional, I heard a little crack in your voice when talking about your father‘s kitchen knife”I think it’s cool”. This is my first Texas Café classic but I think it be cool to hear some stories about the café 👍

[@Dggb2345]

Yeah his dad’s knife. That is cool.

[@Mark1JT]

Really like the cooking videos you have done. The fact that they are recipes from your fathers cafe makes it even better. These sirloin tips looks delicious.

[@lukespooner788]

Made these last week for my lunches, they were phenomenal! So easy to make and went really well with mashed potatoes! Definitely recommend giving these a try.

This is why I love my Instant Pot. I can load it up with whole potatoes and meat on top of them, set it for 25-30 mins and come out with not a dinner, not a meal, but an experience.

[@CloudzPosts]

I love Rip’s dogmatic principles of cooking.

[@ReyEscajeda]

Made these this Sunday evening and used a simple table red wine blend to deglaze as Ripp and most cooks would suggest. Used an expensive cut of beef to see how well it works. Happy to report it’s mighty tasty with good quality tallow and bullion. * tip* If you use about three pounds of beef you’re pretty much good to go for your weeks worth of meal preps. Just need to add a starch and grilled veggies.

[@JPMorgansPhantom]

[@knuckledragger4648]

Over here in SC we had places with sirloin tips on the recipe when I was a kid. No gravy though, just fried hunks of steak and the 'tips' part was that it came with a toothpick thing with some type of advice written on it, like a bovine fortune cookie, usually served with a baked potato.

Lol

[@Chukijay]

Fun fact: the pink in the sea salt comes from the small shrimp and similar life in the water while the salt matures. The salt rises to the top, is cropped out and allowed to dry. By now the salt is white again but to differentiate it, some of the shrimp “stock” and coloring is added to add the pink hue.

Sirloin tip ROAST is a different part of the sirloin than the tri-tip. I believe sirloin tip*S* is traditionally made from cubed tip roast but obviously not in this case.
