The Perfect Meal! Cast Iron Steak & Smashed Potatoes

[@htdriggers]

I think your MacDaddy is a pan made by Birmingham Stove and Range. It looks like the Century model 12, 13 7/16 which was unmarked. I am going to try the Musket Powder, it looks like a good steak seasoning. Love my cast iron cookware also enjoy your videos. Moved back to the farm I grew up on and enjoy the farm life. Great place to raise kids and teach them responsibility. Thank you Farmers for continuing to provide for us in this pandemic. Howard

[@jonathanshrewsberry8507]

Love all your videos! Really enjoy Lawrence’s little jokes too 🤣. Hope you and your family are having a wonderful day!

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Thank you! You too!

[@adamwhite537]

The brand of the cast iron “2 hand pan” is BSR which stand for the Birmingham Stove and Range company. They made the Red Mountain Series and the Century Series pan sets. Yours would be considered a century series.

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@kevinmeyer9137]

I have been watching all your videos, and you do cook steaks a lot which is great but would you please ask Laurence how he gets his beef to produce so many steaks? Love your videos.

[@davidvinson4681]

Have you not watched how much he feeds those cows everyday.

[@davidpoynter6546]

I would love to have a real home cooked meal like that again one day. Cast Iron rocks and so does Meredith.

[@johnthorpe1071]

Hi Meredith, Those steaks looked perfect! Sometimes I butter a slice of bread and after the steaks are done, fry the bread in the steak juice/butter in the pan. Makes steak flavored toast.........Think I need steak for supper now.

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

That sounds so good!

[@RealLifeWithMichelleRob]

I made this and it's so good! My husband loved it! I even made the smashed potatoes! Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Yay! So happy to hear!

[@deandanielson8074]

Hi Meredith, we just celebrated Palm Sunday at home via Livestream and even did Communion for the first time remotely. Then we saw and heard your wonderful video on doing the steaks and red potatoes. Looks great -- and I'm going to try it. Nice instructions. Have a blessed day at the Bernard home. - Dean from Minnesota

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

That's great Dean! I need to watch our service later when we get done feeding and moving corn. Hope you have a great day and week.

[@larrywhitaker4667]

I use my cast iron pots an pans a lot. I also have a Blackstone griddle that makes food taste better also.

[@shellicameron408]

broil onions real bacon bits and cheese on potato yummm looks great

[@JerryGDawg56]

I am sooo jealous of your Wagner skillets!! Best cast iron pans ever made!!

[@timmygilbert1371]

Thank u Meredith for more cooking ideas . Its frustrating sometimes trying to think of new stuff to do for dinner .

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Same here!

[@casey5711]

So happy you’ve opened a new channel ,= YUMMY 🥩🥩🥩🧈🧈🧈😀👍🏾

[@picklesgherkin]

how did I NOTknow you have this channel ... I literally watch your other channel ??? (This Farm Wife ) every time you put a vlog out....and yes I hit the like button.. ha

[@irishktnd]

Cooked my steaks the way you showed us! My cast iron on my grill here in San Diego!! Lots of butter!!! Nothing like a good steak!! Neighbors looking over the fence wondering what smells so good!! Told them to watch your channel and find out!! God Bless on this Palm Sunday Meridith!!

[@CharlottePrattWilson]

Just had to let you know that I made your recipe for eye of round! And it was the BEST ever! Pink in the middle and so delicious! Thank you!

[@johne9341]

Hello form the Pacific Northwest! Took your advice on your farm channel and came over today and subscribed. My two jars of Musket Powder arrived today and I made steak and potatoes, local beef, and it was amazing. I've had the pleasure of eating some of the best steakhouse steaks around the country and your recipe tops them all. Good home cooking beats cuisine any day.

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Wow, this makes my day! So happy to hear! :D Thank you!

[@robertsonfarmsshih-tzus2228]

I dont have a microwave, so I use my instant pot. We had this meal yesterday! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

Love your Southern dialog & language ,,, it makes you who you are... Dinner looked awesome.. appears that all at the table agree...and Bonnie can't wait to clean the plates.. I have only recently pan fried meat ,,always broiled,, felt it was pretty much the same as grillin' except heat source from the top instead of the bottom...Got to agree , med rare to med does it for me ,, I just watch the clock..4-5 minutes per side ... Lawrence seems to be one onery man ,, but doesn't look like he passes up too many of your meals.....Love that country life !!.............Stay Safe and God Bless......

[@kennydean4512]

Meredith you are so funny, A two fisted cast iron pan. Lol And I know there are done words that are tongue twisters for you, but that's what makes you so special, I just love watching your videos, you brighten up my life everytime I get to watch you in a new video.

[@rickw.5267]

Hi Meredith. Sending some love & blessings to you & yours. ~ Rick in N.H.

[@r.s.minton5552]

Hi Meredith. So this episode was especially helpful, with the red potato operation and that myloglobin reference. There is no doubt I will be forever making potatoes just like you've taught here and I'm actually kind of excited about that which surprises me. I'm out back burning stuff down right now but later I'll study myloglobin because, well I'm not sure exactly why, but it sounded interesting how that may not exactly be blood. May have my spelling off a little but thank you for this episode of TFW Cooks - I think it was really neat!!

[@rexdelong9447]

love your new cooking site, it's about time I found someone that cooks the way I do, when you wing it it always taste better I think, keep up the good job love watching your KZbin channels

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

With ya! Thank you for being here!

[@rexdelong9447]

thank God for people like you and all the other KZbin people it makes it easier to get through this hard time we all are going through at this time , thanks for the great clips love them all love all you farmers out there my thoughts and prayers go out to all, we will make just be strong and hang in there .

[@billconch3514]

This meal is a regular at my house also. I love the red potatoes and now I'll try the microwave method. I'll add the butter but no condiments because I want to taste the meat. You're beautiful and enthusiastic as usual.

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Thank you!

[@joshreed6899]

Thanks for sharing, tomorrow's menu at our house is just that! I have lots of Musket Powder so I'm going to give it a try! Love your channel ❤️.

[@dmorgan28]

Those look delicious. Awesome. We love your cooking channel. 👍👍👍❤️

[@robertlafollette8931]

It all looks so good honey. Love my hat the same one you had on in the video. Happy Palm Sunday and God Bless.

[@rogerkasheboro]

We make the smashed taters all the time! They are great. Thanks for sharing again.

[@joesphbest3120]

You say words like you do, don't worry about how you say them, I can understand you & I know others do to. Your just a good old farm girl and where I come from that's great. Keep up the good work. Love both of your shows.

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Thank you so much!

[@foodwithchefb7468]

Food Looks great and the puppy is ADORABLE!

[@cws8313]

Do what you do and never change. 👍🦋

[@Southernfarmandkitchen]

Just ordered both Musket Powders... can not wait to try em!

[@musketpowder]

Thank you! Let us know what you think!!!

[@watermanone7567]

Nice job. Keep up this channel. Love it.

[@geraldwhisseljr8855]

Looks so good. You could boil the potatoes in water first. You can never have enough cheese. Could you use a deep cookie pan cover two burners to cook with? Makes it like a flat too grill. I like my steaks med-well. My mom way well done burnt 😂😂. I have trouble with rual and words with r, l and a few others sounds. I have a slight speech impediment. My dogs are like Bonnie. They just sallow food, don't chew it.haha

[@garypollard9770]

I have been watching and I believe that you may have taught me how to cook! Love it!

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Yay!!!

[@banann64]

How yummy!. I cook my steak the same way and go by the blood 🩸 that I see too. Medium rare is the best!. I’m so going to do the potatoes that way. We love red skins too. Thanks for sharing!!!👍🏼❤️

[@johnezell1366]

Looks like a tasty meal for supper!!

[@michaelwilson2070]

You can't have too many steaks, smashed potatos or videos of them. I try all that you show. Haven't been disapointed yet!

[@rogerholloway8498]

Meal fit for a king! Looks very tasty!

[@johnnymayo8534]

Agreed....medium rare is the optimal way to cook steak. A friend of mine says...'wipe his butt, knock the horns off & send him out'. He likes his steak (really) rare!

[@justtruth8281]

I tried Musket Powder on pop corn it tasted real good.

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

I've not tried that yet!

[@leonandrews5184]

Have to blame/thank you for getting me hooked on Musket Powder. Also I recommend you try Dano’s seasoning. Both seasonings I highly recommend. Thanks Meradith.

[@martinhubertjr1197]

Great video, totally agree as far as medium to medium rare, it's a crime and serious loss of flavor to cook a steak past medium. Those potatoes look delicous also, gonna try that way, thanks for sharing, now I'm hungry , lol.

[@darlenebracken5482]

Awesome 👍 medium rare is the ultimate cooked steak!!

[@kennymysak2079]

I have the same cast iron skillet and I love it for family get together. Red taters taste the best and I'm going to be making these taters for for Miss Annabelle cause she says yummy. A little trick to the rough cast iron is a oscillating sand and medium to fine sand paper then season feel and your good to go. This meal will be coming to my table really soon. Hope everyone is safe and healthy and keep up the great videos

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Great, hope you enjoy it! Thanks for the tip. Luckily all of my pans are smooth and seasoned. Take care!

[@davidwatsonii9469]

STEAK, BUTTER AND CAST IRON, HARD TO GO WRONG, WITH PORK OR BEEF, I LOVE, PEPPERS, ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS AND GARLIC BREAK, YOURS LOOKS GOOD TOO

[@kendude8089]

Steak everyday ☺ That's good beef too.

[@jeffslaven]

The microwave potatoes is how we do it at work. It's the perfect potato every time!

[@dennisbuelow1446]

And sauteed green beans, Brussels sprouts and onions

[@davidvinson4681]

You have so many sayings I always say when I finish eating you can stick a fork in me I'm done ain't that a hoot. Your little girls going to be so grounded watch you cook and then work with her dad out side. The things your children will learn at home cannot be taught from a book. Love watching you cook y'all have a blessed day.

[@garyprice8490]

Love red potatoes love Yukon Gold potatoes too try them also one day.

[@cynthiamarie8225]

Yummy yummy Thank you

[@evankibbe590]

Red potatoes are the best And a medium stake perfect. 😊😊😊😊💝💝🌹🌹🥓🍳🥞🥓🥓🥓🥓

[@pitbullgator]

Good evening Merdie and Family Just got parked for the night over here on I-80 near the Iowa/Nebraska border Finally got to watch the end of the video and I must say those steaks look so delicious 😋 Love Y’all 🤠😍😘😘😘😘

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Thanks friend! Stay safe out there!

[@alansmth1729]

Meredith how did you cook the red potato's? Before you smashed them I suspect you boiled them for 10 minutes? One suggestion to enhance your smashed potato's is I add a pad of butter on top of the cheese. I also use season salt with pepper and they turn out wonderful.

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

I showed in video that I microwaved them for 10 minutes And butter! Yes, how could I have forgotten the butter? :O

[@alansmth1729]

Went back and re-watched video and for some reason the first time the microwave info skipped to the smashing. LOL I have tried you smashed potato's by boiling them it was awesome. I was a catastrophe adjuster for 20 years and have some very simple recipe's for the lazy cook who has to feed people quick. I had to semi retire to take care of my 86 year old mother who has Alzheimer's. Thank you for all you do. I have worked claims all around your area in the past 20 years and love the area.

[@memyselfandifarmer]

Sometimes I put the steaks on a hot grill frozen! Seals in the juice.

[@markduffield9872]

We just had this meal tonight and it was great! The cleanup was easy as pie!!

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

Whoot!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

[@deanrichardson450]

You have the charcoal grill on your porch ? Why don’t you use ? Preferred?

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

I have a gas grill that doesn’t work but honestly we prefer them this way :)

[@rogerkasheboro]

You can bake them at 450 degrees for and hour for small taters. That's what we do instead of microwave in case others want to use the oven

[@tonyburelle6633]

Med rare is plenty done, my ex wife always had her's well done, nuff said, love the amashed taters too

[@OleNavy]

Last years' steaks look good to me. Better than day-old bread! Just ordered more Musket Powder, but Red Label this time. Have you ever noticed when dogs eat, they don't chew? They gulp! I suppose it is an ingrained habit. They bite and gulp to get as much as they can before the other dogs do.

[@ernestsherwood8370]

[@ThisFarmWifeCooks]

That’s great! Congrats to you!

[@miketalley505]

Can also flavor your butter the day before.

Luv dry rub my steak then put a half stick of butter in skillet, then the steak cooks in the butter, yum yum

I will agree with you 100percent steak is 100percent better medium rare you go girl

[@williamdavis2607]

Bonnie didn't even chew that steak enough to get a good taste of it !!!!

[@FurleyGhost]

Next time, pat the meat dry with a paper towel before seasoning and before placing in the pan, and use a high smoke point oil in the beginning like avocado oil. If you really don't want to use oil, use ghee instead. Regular butter will burn and turn black at a much lower temperature than what you want your pan to be at to give the steaks a good sear. You want the butter to be brown and foamy, never black. After your first flip, turn the heat down to medium-low, add butter to the pan and possibly thyme/rosemary/garlic, tilt the pan and baste the steaks with the butter until you are done.
