Fried Sirloin side strip steaks with onions.

Or you can use minute steaks or any other steak or meat.

Get a pan nice and hot , about medium high , add some olive oil to it and add the onions.

The onions need to be sliced like you would do for a burger and then quarter. When you add them to the olive oil add some salt and pepper and stir them...... As they cook you can add bacon drippings or butter , depending on which you want , if any or both. :D

When they start to become transparent then add some honey or sugar , your choice to which and the amount. Stir and when the sides of the onions start to caramelised (Brown) remove them from the heat and the pan. Set them aside keeping as much of the juice in the pan that you can. If you have to then add some more olive oil , butter or bacon drippings , your choice.

Now put the pan back on the heat and drop the meat in there , let it cook in those juices and when you think it is time flip the meat ... cook some more and when almost done ... remove the pan from the heat and add the onions back over the top of them.

Let it sit for a minute ( the remaining heat will cook the meat little more ) then have everyone get what they want. Look out when they try the onions they will vanish really fast. :lol:

With the onions you can have Bell Peppers or anything you like with onions. Just as if you were doing nothing more then then the onions , all the flavors get married together to cook the meat in the left over juice from them.

Wholesome Friend Chuck,

Did ya run all yer recipes by yer cardiac doc? My Mom still uses her cast iron skillet ta blacken a steak. I wish I had a pichur of that skillet......heavy build up. :wink: She buys a fine steak....small cuz they...I mean "she"......dont eat a heap a meat. She puts some olive oil in the skillet 'n some spice on the steak. She turns the heat up high. When that steak hits the skillet smoke 'n oil go everwhere.

She cooks the steak 2-3 minutes on each side 'n takes it off. The outside iz jest barely burnt, the inside barely bleeds. Jarvis wet hizself that time he dropped by at mealtime. Her stove iz electric so clean up aint too bad. On my gas stove I use my wok.....it iz good steel with a flat bottom (so the poor electric stove folks kin use it). Even then the splatter gits out.

Either way that iz the best non-grilled steak I ever ate....cept fer the ones at Doe's Eat Place.

regards

Nope didn't ask the cardiac doc ... knew what he would say. He is not here and the wife is gone for a couple of days so it is anything but chicken.
I have eaten so much chicken , cooked ever imageable way except fried like it should be , and turkey burgers that I want to stand on a fence post and crow to the rising sun , plus get Thanksgiving outlawed as a holiday.

I'm sure he would also object to the lemonade and Gin mix I had while enjoying a sunset from the back porch. Home made lemonade and a couple shots of Gin mixed in ..... something goood..... I think it is called a Tom Collins.
( when you have a lemon tree that has lemons the size of cantaloupes why not have lemonade ) :D

As far as the cast iron skillets .. yep , I'm using one my grandmother used , then Mom and now me. Have some newer ones that mom used for years but I like that third generation one.
