Ron Paul's Shocking Shemale Past

I kept thinking about the chicken-fried rib eye I made for Sunday's Nowlive show. It was wonderful, but something kept picking at me, and I mentioned it here. I said the dish would probably be better if the rib eye was sliced thinner, split down the middle so you get two steaks around half an inch thick.

Boneless rib eyes come in packages of two here, so I had one left over after the show. Guess what I just did with it?

The verdict is in. As good as the thick version is, the thin version is better. And don't worry; you actually get more calories, because you fry both halves, and there's more area for breading to stick to.

The thinner CFS is crispier and has more fried flavor. I should have realized it was a mistake to fry something thick.

Unfortunately, I ate both halves just now. Covered in gravy. Thank God I didn't have bacon grease, or I would have had biscuits. I only wanted to have a few bites, for research purposes, but professional ethics forced me to clean my plate.

No, seriously.

I wish I had a deep fryer. I know this would be better if I could deep-fry the steak while cooking the gravy independently. But it's pretty damned good. You won't even notice when you eat the fat, so there is no point in trimming it off.

Gross sidelight: I had to fry the steak in sunflower oil because I was out of bacon grease. It was still excellent. Nothing tops animal fat, but in a pinch, practically anything except canola will work.
