Grease gravy

[Matt G]

My grandma used to cook seven steak in a grease gravy, and that was some of the best sheet you could put on rice! She's too old to cook like she used to anymore and she can't really remember how she did it. My mom never cooked her's like that so she doesn't know either. Anybody have any insight on making a grease gravy?

Matt I have been wondering the same thing for a while now. My grandmother made my favorite rice and gravy and I just cant replicate it. I do a pretty good gravy but it cant touch MaMa's grease gravy

im sure it was very unhealthy and high in that cholesteral filled stuff.

they used to cook with a big tub of lard and I cant ever remember anything getting cooked without starting with a plop of that stuff in the pan.

I think we use to much stuff that's "good for you" now days to get those old flavors back. cooking in lard has a whole different taste then cooking in veggie oils.

Use a little more oil than normal and brown some pork sausage with the 7-steak,simmer until tender after browning and let water boil out and cook plenty of rice and chase it with a dose of Lipitor.Lol

The seven steak will ive off a ton of grease. Man that is my favorite cut for rice and gravy though!

Save your bacon grease, put it in the fridge. Couple table spoons of that, brown it on a low heat for a good long while.... Put the onion, bell pepper in cook it down for about a 6-pack. Then cook some rice.

Thanks for the replies. I tried it last night with just a little more grease than I normally start it off with. It wasn't nearly how my grandma made it, but its a step in the right direction. I guess I jut need to stock up on some more seven steak and keep practicing!

When you are cooking it down, don't be afraid to let it stick a little bit. A good bit, actually. It's mainly the onions carmelizing.

Anybody thats intrested in buying some pork lard in the Lafayette area there is a guy in the farmers market in the oil center on saturdays that sells it. Cookng with lard is actually better for you then some of those "healthy" oils

Here you go Matt!
Cover the bottom of your pot with oil. I use Canola these days.
1 table spoon of Raw Sugar in the center of the pot and heat until it turns dark brown almost black. Stir in your 7-steak and keep stiring to brown meat. Have a cup of water handy so when it starts to stick real bad just sprinkle a very small amount of water to de-glaze and keep on frying. when you have reached DARK BROWN MEAT then add onions and bell pepper if you like. simmer until all is tender and you will be amazed.

Lard is good stuff. Animal fats are awesome for cooking. Olive oil is for salads. (I've tried it, bacon grease does not work on salads.)

Never tried this recipe but it explains the technique to making grease gravy very well.

Followed by some shoulder steak browned down really good.uploadfromtaptalk1393714622115.jpg Started drinking Irish beer followed by Belgian beer and going to finish with excellent Japanese beer. uploadfromtaptalk1393714742305.jpg Onions, peppers and parsley cookin down now.uploadfromtaptalk1393714806136.jpg

Looking good MRI! I'm planning in giving it another shot tomorrow. It should turn out better with the help here. You can always count on your SC brethren to help out.
