Meat & potatoes, a pair that has been pleasing us for centuries. Did you know that potatoes are native to the Americas? Be sure to watch till the end to see an image of the original recipe, followed here, as it appeared in The Frugal Housewife (1796 edition). This book was originally published in London, however it was printed in the U.S. where it was a best seller.
All spices used were kindly donated by our local tea and spice shop, Quintessential Riverfront Teas & Spices. If you ever visit Ste. Genevieve Missouri please see our friend’s store, which has been open since 1806.

Here you will find the recipe for "Beef Collops" translated into modern directions from the original, which you can see at the end of the video 😁thank you for your company today!
To fry Beef Collops, 1796
Beef, 2 pounds of any sort that one can afford
nutmeg, 1 teaspoon
1 lemon
1/2 of an onion
A bundle of fresh parsley, thyme & rosemary
Butter, the size of a walnut + 1 teaspoon for helping the beef to not stick to your pan
Flour, approximately half a cup
Salt & pepper to taste
Water
Pickles, whichever ones you prefer! I used pickled cabbage & onions which worked nicely
Pound your beef with the back of a knife or a rolling pin (the much safer option) till tender. Cut it up into squares that are about 2 inches long. Cut up half of an onion and mix it with the zest of 1 lemon. Set this aside. Now sprinkle your beef with nutmeg and flour. Rub it in well until it is all evenly coated. In a skillet melt, at medium high heat, melt a small dollop of butter just enough where you don't suspect that your beef will stick. Once melted add in your floured beef and onions. Cook for 2 minutes only, stirring frequently. Once 2 minutes have passed pour in enough water to just cover the beef. Add in a ball of butter that you have rolled in flour. Add salt, pepper and a tied up bundle of herbs. Reduce your heat to simmer and cook until the gravy has thickened and your beef has reached your desired texture. This happens quickly so be ready! For me it only took 7 minutes to finish as I prefer my beef to be cooked medium. Once done serve with pickles of any sort. Traditionally beef was served with horseradish and pork with mustard. Enjoy!
A Boiled Potato Recipe, Justine's
Potatoes, skin on or off depending on what you prefer
Butter
Salt & pepper to taste
Fresh parsley & thyme, diced
Water, for boiling
Boil your potatoes until they are quite soft, which can take 20 minutes or more. Stick a fork in them to test if they are done. If your fork passes through them easily and they are soft then they are done. Drain them of the water. Combine the potatoes with a dollop of butter, salt & pepper and diced parsley & thyme. It's that easy! In modern homes you may enjoy the addition of granulated garlic powder.

Klo orang indonesia ga bisa klemar klemer kyk gini mbak , harus gesit karna bumbu indonesia banyak dan medok 🤣
The beef should have been cut in smaller edible pieces.
I’d never have Married or had children
I would have never thought to add grated lemon zest to onions for a recipe like this
The europeans born in America really outshined their ancestors. I cannot imagine moving to a new strange land back in the day, away from your family to start a new life
Brilliant
She did a great job not washing her hands after touching raw meat just like the recipe says
A cabin in the woods and a beautiful woman is all that I need to be happy ❤
