Something Besides Turkey: Steak Fingers with Gravy

Steak fingers are a delicious comfort food often found in diners or served at family gatherings. They’re essentially strips of steak that are breaded, seasoned, and deep-fried, similar to chicken fingers but with beef. Here's how you can make them at home:

Ingredients

- 1 pound of round steak or sirloin, cut into strips

- 1 cup of all-purpose flour

- 1 cup of buttermilk (or regular milk if preferred)

- 2 large eggs

- 1 tsp garlic powder

- 1 tsp onion powder

- 1 tsp paprika

- Salt and pepper, to taste

- Cooking oil (vegetable or canola oil for frying)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak: Cut the steak into finger-sized strips, roughly 1 inch wide and about 3–4 inches long.

2. Season: In a bowl, season the flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Dip the Steak: In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together. Dip each steak strip into the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour, coating well. For extra crispy steak fingers, repeat this step to double coat.

4. Fry: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot (about 350°F), fry the steak fingers in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Drain and Serve: Place the cooked steak fingers on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

6. Serve: Serve hot with country gravy, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Quick Gravy Recipe (Optional)

- 1/4 cup pan drippings (or butter if you prefer)

- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 2 cups milk

- Salt and pepper to taste

1. In the same pan, whisk the flour into the drippings until smooth and cook for 1–2 minutes.

2. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly until smooth.

3. Simmer until thickened, then season with salt and pepper.

Enjoy your homemade steak fingers!

Why You Should Use A Wine Rack

Why You Should Use A Wine Rack

For wine to mature in the proper way, you'll need to have the right humidity, temperature, light condition, and movement. Whenever you are storing wine for any amount of time, you'll need to ensure that the wine is in a safe place. Even though there are a few ways that you can store wine, none are safer or smarter than using a wine rack.

When you choose your wine rack, you should always remember to choose one that will store your wine properly. There are a several styles to choose from, including those that stack, wall mounts, and side mounts. You should also pay attention to size as well, as the sizes range from storing a few bottles to storing hundreds. You'll also have a lot of varieties and designs to select from, all of which depend on your needs and your space.

Among the best types of wine racks are the horizontal racks. Contrary to what many may think, vertical racks aren't a good choice for storing your wine. Wine that is stored on vertical racks are stored vertically, which means that the cork will dry out and eventually start to shrink, bringing air into the wine and ruining it. On the other hand, vertical racks can come in handy when storing wine for short periods of time, or wine that is best consumed young.

Tilted racks are another type of rack you should avoid using, as they can dry out the corks or deposit the sediments too close to the cork. For your wine storing needs, you should always go with a horizontal rack. Horizontal racks will keep the cork moist, and keep unwanted air from making contact with the wine. The sediment will fall towards the side of the bottle, preventing spillage when you pop the cork. Horizontal racks are also very affordable and you can always add more racks to the design with little to no problem.

The materials for wine racks are normally wood or metal. You can hang them from ceilings, mount them on the wall, or simply place them on the floor. Metal racks are the strongest, although wood is more flexible. Wooden racks provide a bit more storage, for the simple fact that you can always add to them. Wood racks are also visually appealing, durable, and provide plenty of strength.

All in all, a wine rack is a fine investment for anyone who appreciates wine. There are various sizes to choose from, all of which are very affordable. The small to medium sizes work best for homes, while the large styles are best for commercial settings. No matter where you keep your wine - you can count on a wine rack to keep your wine stored for years to come.

Your Body And Antioxidant Foods

Your Body And Antioxidant Foods

Even though a lot of people don't actually realize it, a lot of antioxidant foods that we consume are from vegetables. Vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, and peppers are all excellent choices with some great benefits for your body. When consuming vegetables, you should always go for those that are rich in color, as they are high in what is known as phytonutrients.

Phytonutrients are nutrients found in the skins of several fruits and vegetables, which give the food color as well as flavor and scent. Phytonutrients are quite simply the best types of antioxidant foods that you can find anywhere. If you are looking for a supplement value, the coq10 offers you a high level of antioxidant value.

Although fruits and vegetables are the best sources for antioxidants, the problem with them is that they are produced by the use of chemical herbicides, pesticides, and different types of fertilizers. Over the years, studies have shown that fruits and vegetables which are organically grown are high in antioxidants, and boast a much higher concentration than those that have been produced commercially.

In the busy world of today, it can be very tough to eat like we should, nor can we eat organic fruits and vegetables all the time. If you can't or don't have access to organic fruits or other sources of antioxidant foods, you should look into nutritional supplements that offer you the phytonutrients you need in your diet.

Supplements that contain phytonutrients do have advantages when compared to certain fruits, such as carrots - which can elevate your blood sugar level to a very high level. Phytonutrients found in supplements are the extract of pigments where nutrients are concentrated, meaning that they draw the best from antioxidant foods, leaving the calories and sugar behind.

Don't get the wrong idea here, fruits and vegetables are indeed good for you. They are high in antioxidants, although those that are produced commercially generally come with chemicals and such that aren't so good for you. Canned fruits and vegetables come with high levels of sugars and calories, which antioxidant supplements don't have. The supplements offer you the levels you need, without any chemicals, sugars, or calories. This way, you don't have to worry about consuming anything that isn't good for you.

No matter how you look at it, healthy eating for your body starts and end with foods that contain antioxidants. There are several types of foods that contain antioxidants, although fruits and vegetables contain the most amounts. Steak and meat are also great sources of antioxidants, along with other great benefits, such as protein. Anytime you can't get foods that contain antioxidants - you can count on supplements to deliver the amount you need to stay healthy.

Process Of Homebrewing Microbrews

Process Of Homebrewing Microbrews

The normal batch of homebrewed beer is five gallons

in volume, which is enough for 2 cases, or 48 12

ounce bottle of beer.

The typical homebrewed beer is produced by boiling

water, malt extract and hops together in a large

kettle and then cooling the resulting wort and adding

yeast for fermenting. Experienced homebrewers will

make their own extract from crushed malt barley by

a more complicated process of mashing the grain in

boiling hot water.

With both cases, the wort is boiled for 15 min to

an hour, to help remove some impurities, dissolve

the character of the hops, then break down some of

the sugar. The wort is then cooled down to a

pitching temperature.

The cooled wort is then poured into the primary

fermenter in a manner of aggression, as to aerate

the wort. Sufficient oxygen is also necessary for

the yeast's growth stage. The yeast is then put

into the wort.

The primary fermentation will take place in a large

food bucket or carboy. Sometimes it is left open

but often stoppered with the carbon dioxide gas

that's produced by venting through a fermentation

lock.

The process of making microbrews takes a lot of

time indeed, although you can take the necessary

short cuts once you learn more about how the

process works. If this is your first time brewing,

you should always use common sense and know what

you are doing.

One of the best things about making your own

homebrews is the fact that you can experiment with

ingredients and brew your own creations. You can

brew almost anything, providing you have the right

type of equipment - which can easily be found.

Macrobiotic Diet Helps Balance Your Diet and Your Life

Macrobiotic Diet Helps Balance Your Diet and Your Life

Macrobiotics devotees believe that food, and food quality, affects our lives more than is commonly thought. It is thought to affect our health, well being and happiness. They focus on moving away from processed foods, and moving toward more natural and more traditional methods of food preparation. They claim it is better to choose food that is less processed, more natural, use more traditional methods of food preparation for themselves and their family.

Macrobiotics emphasize locally-grown, organically-grown whole grain cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruit, seaweed and fermented soy products, combined into meals according to the principle of balance between yin and yang properties, rather than scientific dietary guidelines. Macrobiotic diets follow the idea of Yin and Yang. Cereals, fruit, beans, nuts and vegetables, and rice make up the main part of the diet and are considered neutral and are naturally balanced in terms of Yin and Yang. Foods which are either extremely Yin in nature or extremely Yang in nature are eaten very rarely if at all. Very Yin products include coffee, tropical fruit, sugar, soft dairy products, vegetables, alcohol and honey. Very Yang products include poultry, meat, firm dairy products like hard cheeses, and eggs.

The macrobiotic diet is high in natural, unprocessed foods, complex carbohydrates, and vegetables. It is low in saturated fats, whilst providing the essential fats. Food should be organically grown and eaten fresh. The Macrobiotic lifestyle also governs how food should be prepared. No microwave should be used - rice must be cooked in a pressure cooker. Food should be eaten and chewed slowly, in a relaxed manner.

Low-fat high-fiber diets are also believed to play a role in preventing some types of cancer. And the macrobiotic emphasis on fresh, non-processed foods may be beneficial to those dealing with certain food allergies and chemical sensitivities. Followers assert that the balance and harmony of the macrobiotic diet and lifestyle create the best possible conditions for health. They claim that the diet yields many positive health effects, including a general sense of well-being, and some studies actually show that people on the diet have a decreased risk of heart disease and some forms of cancer.
