hey y'all welcome to another episode of
0:02
what's cooking with Paula Dean and you
0:04
know I'm sitting here with a smile on my
0:06
face because uh the recipe that I want
0:09
to talk about today u i served it to a
0:13
guy that I had so much fun with I asked
0:18
if he wanted to come do a cooking show
0:21
with me because uh I found out that he
0:24
lives like Hilton Head or somewhere very
0:28
very close so his name was Tom Beringer
0:31
and I'm sure y'all know uh who I'm
0:34
talking about he he uh really made his
0:37
Mark in some older movies that were huge
0:42
hits and what were the name of the
0:44
movies
0:45
Clifford The Big Chill yeah and another
0:49
one what did he do that was so
0:53
so um gosh I can't remember Vietnam yeah
0:58
the Vietnam movie
1:01
um what in the
1:03
world I can't remember y'all but y'all
1:07
will recognize Tom because I want to
1:09
show y'all a little clip from that show
1:12
I had such a good time with him he's a
1:16
character um so I decided to cook Tom a
1:21
steak in fact I cooked him a flank steak
1:25
so I want to just share with y'all how I
1:27
did it now I uh
1:31
I started with like a 3 to Five Pound
1:34
flank steak and I salt and peppered it
1:37
and I just put it on a plate and put it
1:39
in the refrigerator for about an hour
1:42
for it to sit and give it time to soak
1:45
up all those seasonings and uh you can
1:48
cook this on like a grill pan inside or
1:52
you can cook it over uh charcoal outside
1:56
on your
1:57
grill um
2:00
you'll want to cook it total time will
2:04
probably be about 10 minutes for a
2:06
medium rare steak and if you're going to
2:09
do it on a griddle
2:11
pan uh you'll want to sear it and then
2:16
rotate your steak one time so that it
2:20
has like the crisscross patterns on the
2:23
steak like you have when you go to a
2:26
fancy restaurant that has those Grill uh
2:30
strips on it so like I said about 10
2:34
minutes total cooking time maybe five
2:36
minutes per side and you'll want to do
2:39
the same thing uh when you flip it over
2:42
and sear the the other side of that
2:45
steak you'll want to rotate it so on the
2:48
back you'll have those uh grill marks on
2:51
it like I said a total of 10 minutes for
2:56
uh medium rare So what makes this steak
3:00
so incredibly good is the brown butter
3:03
sauce that we're going to pour on top of
3:05
it after it set for 10 minutes and we
3:08
have it plattered up and sliced on the
3:12
bias flank steak can be a little tougher
3:15
so you'll want to make sure that you
3:17
slice it against the grain but in the
3:20
meantime we have going to prepared our
3:22
brown garlic butter by melting a stick
3:25
of butter six cloves of diced garlic
3:30
together and we're going to cook that on
3:33
low very slow until your garlic and your
3:37
butter has turned to a nice golden
3:42
brown after we've got reached the light
3:45
golden brown
3:47
set after
3:49
we've after we have come to that light
3:52
golden brown color we're going to add in
3:56
a half a cup of fresh chopped parsley
4:00
and we're going to pour this over our
4:03
sliced flank steak and you would think

5:32
friend uh his name is Phil and he made
5:37
the introduction to Tom and me and I'm
5:40
so thankful that he did because you know
5:43
I have so many acquaintances Tom but
5:46
I've always since I've been living in
5:48
Savannah all I've done is work so you
5:53
know making friends has kind of been
5:55
yeah I get shelved a little sometimes

6:02
friends are one of the most
6:04
important parts of one's life you know
6:08
you can pick your friends yeah and I I
6:11
it's sort of like my son ask me once he
6:14
goes what's it like what do you think I
6:17
go he said nobody ever asked me that but
6:19
I said sometimes lonely he goes lonely I
6:23
went yeah I mean it I go think about it
6:27
if you're a band you're with these guys
6:28
all the time so you maybe you almost go
6:30
crazy yeah you know like a family but I
6:34
said but we we we could go five six
6:37
seven eight 10 years 12 years without
6:39
seeing each other again or never again
6:42
for that matter yeah so I go it's not
6:44
not what you think yeah yeah
6:48
yeah I'm going to just flip this one
6:51
this away cuz you know the center part
6:54
of your grill Tom uh there's really no
6:57
light on that
6:58
Center now how do you eat your meat I
7:00
forgot to ask you medium rare yes if
7:05
you'd have said well done I'd had to
7:07
come over there and give you those boot
7:08
I know I my mother my mother would do
7:12
that and take her out to dinner and she
7:14
goes I want it well done and she'd go
7:16
burn I'm going oh you know I tell people
7:19
if they going to do that to a good stake
7:21
just have a
7:22
hamburger I know have a hamburger yeah I
7:26
I I but I would cringe I know then if it
7:28
was a French Chef they probably come out
7:30
and throw it at you they would they
7:33
would they they refuse or they refetch
7:36
they would refuse yeah they would refuse
7:38
and ask a French chef for ketchup and
7:40
they will ask you to leave cuz
7:45
say you need to leave it on a little
7:47
longer I think I might okay and I'm
7:50
going to go ahead and see what this is
7:54
doing okay nice yep yep that looks
7:57
pretty good you red color that's
7:59
beautiful yeah you want to taste that
8:00
little piece that I just
8:03
cut and tell me what you
8:08
think m is it good oh yeah yeah yay you
8:13
think I want to take this
8:15
up yes I think I'll kind of put it to
8:18
the side like that
8:20
mhm well honey we got it together oh
8:22
it's perfect so you got the red Center
8:25
yeah am I cutting it enough on the bias
8:28
do you think
8:31
on a tougher piece of meat y'all you
8:34
want to cut it against the
8:37
grain because if I cut it this way the
8:40
way it looks like you'd like to cut it
8:42
cuz it's got those lines it would be so
8:45
tough that you couldn't eat it with
8:46
George Washington's wooden teeth
8:52
so that's why we're doing it this
8:55
way and I think that looks slap aab
