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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Oh my goodness! I'm definitely gonna try this! What's not to love! I'm not a breakfast eater though and my husband couldn't eat this much at 3:30 in the morning and then go to work! I would cook this dish for supper in a heartbeat! There's nothing wrong with eating breakfast foods like bacon, sausage and eggs for supper at night! My mother cooked breakfast food for supper a lot when I was growing up! So I'm definitely seeing this dish in my recipes to use frequently! You could also use rice in place of potatoes too, just saute the onions, peppers and garlic and then add to the cooked rice and stir in mixing them in with the cooked rice! This is a fantastic meal, especially for a person with a health problem that can't eat normally like they should be able to, I'm taking about myself actually! This is a hearty meal with a lot of protein and nutrients which I definitely need! Ya can't get more high protein than with steak and eggs, which a person needs like myself who is compromised and has problems being able to eat normally! Some days I can't eat at all and I go more than 1day with not being able to eat! It's actually a living hell, so seeing this recipe gives me hope and encouragement to actually try to eat on my bad and painful days!👍

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!

That's the American version of dumpling sauce. It's missing scallions.

[@GamesPlayedCasuallyHardcore]

This is his version of dumpling sauce. We still use scallions here

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.

Steak, Eggs, Potatoes, and a stick of butter.

[@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.

[@josecarvajal6654]

Didn't know steak and eggs was a thing but makes me want to have this for breakfast every day

[@petef15]

I would rinse the starch and parboil the potatoes with a small amount of vinegar to crisp them up and actually cook them. I'd also put the steak fat side into the pan while it's cold and heating up to render the fat better (saves time). Also it makes no sense to add pepper before the cooking process as it will just burn.

[@opensourceq]

sure you used enough buttter? anything less than two sticks for one breakfast is skimping

[@peted2331]

Steal and eggs is a treat but the end result picture just shows it's a sloppy overly saturated buttery mess.

[@jimmyboy131]

Never ever watch a video like this when you're already hungry and can't eat anything for a while. :/ This looks incredibly good.

[@shawnandmelindaambrose9596]

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...

[@DanteMishima]

Incredible! Someone who actually cooks their steak and doesn't leave it bleeding

[@tomcan2246]

That’s not medium rare 😂😂

[@Joe_Montfort]

You’re right. It’s not even close.

[@bigmig7877]

Why wouldn’t you use Lime juice to help tenderize? Or use Beef Tallow in the Cast Iron Skillet?

[@GroguSlayer69]

bro its like a 1500 cal breakfast, more if you eat all that butter. And you still have a full day of eating. Can't understand this new fad.

[@deaninchina01]

I’d be back asleep eating that much for breakfast.

[@thedivide3688]

Some people eat breakfast as their biggest meal of the day. And why are we counting calories? Asians eat breakfast similar to this daily. We just eat and not count calories. Maybe do the same?

[@sjenkins1057]

i have to assumew this is intended to be multiple portions serving several people.

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.

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.

Because it tastes better. Microplastics for THE WIN

@christophermitchell7925 Unfortunately no, I'm not familiar with it... What is Irish Rice?

[@mmxmmx-zo2my]

I like how the meat is cooked. Everywhere these days they cook it so it's very pink inside. The way you cooked it is exactly how i like it. Crispy on outside and juicy on inside but not pink.

"Green peppers have no flavour" Probably the most American sentence you could ever hear from a chef 😂🤣

[@Noble713]

Steak & eggs is also my favorite breakfast....but I make it with just salt, pepper, and splash of Worchestershire sauce. I don't have time to be dicing up half a dozen potatoes and veggies every morning. I'm also in Japan where we can get fairly small yet tender steaks for cheap.

[@DarthVader-lt4zw]

During WW2, US Marines were fed a "traditional" steak and egg breakfast right before an invasion began. Kind of like a "last supper" of great food before combat. Also, in the U.S. Navy, steak and eggs was a frequent Sunday breakfast, especially when docked as they had access to all the markets.

[@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.

I will make this for my daughter ❤.
