This crumbed steak made me miss my childhood…. it’s time to make it again!

January 25, 2013 in beef

I remember during the winter months my mom would bring tenderized steak from the butcher and she always altered her way of cooking it…… She either covered with slices of tomato, onion, salt and pepper and slowly baked in the oven, or she would crumb it….not fancy crumbing……. just egg and flour…..

Fried in a pan and served with buttery mash and pickled beetroot….. what a delightful memory! I still see tenderized steak at our local supermarket and it is the ideal steak to use, because the flour goes into the crumbly little meat pieces and makes the end result extra crunchy and delicious. Serve with old-fashioned pickled beetroot!  Try it…. you will love it!

A bunch of energy

Beetroot always saves the day when I feel flat, tired and over-worked as I do right now.  Everyday is a whirlwind of deadlines, new ideas, new people and new proposals and at the moment I feel just a tad run down, tired and in need of detox…..detox from too much work, too much stress and too little sleep. The fact that I cannot take off work,  sleep in or stress less, it leaves me with only one option….detox with food.

Beetroot is always the first vegetable I crave when I am in need of  healthier  meals. Beetroot in a simple salad with homemade cheese is awesome. I always have a plastic container with cooked beetroot in the fridge, anytime I need a pick-me-up, I can make a delicious sandwich with fresh beetroot.  Lunchtime becomes quite glamorous with this luscious pink beetroot hummus, served with thin apple slices.

However those are all cold dishes and I was in need of warmth and comfort, so it had to be….
