- 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.
Thank you for the receipt and video ❤
Could I ask what type of candles you use in the house? I know that in Britain different social classes of this time would have used candles of different waxes that reflected their income and status.
Also, would the household have made their candles, or purchased them from a general store / provisioner.
Thank you in advance 😊
@@Ater_Draco We use white beeswax candles for health reasons as it burns cleaner. Someone back then could have used tallow, which tends to leave black smoke on the walls and ceiling, beeswax, or bayberry wax. Tallow candles were the candles of the poor and had a lot of drawbacks. They burn dirty, smell foul when burning and drip quickly when melting. Bayberry candles were the most expensive. They are made from a bush called the wax myrtle bush. They smell beautiful when burning, like flowers and herbs. The amount of work involved in processing the plant into a candle was huge though which is why they were so expensive.
I wonder if you could use the herbs you cooked with the beef and add to the potatoes? I think this is a great dish you've made. The pickled vegetables help aid digestion and the horseradish is so healthy for you. Try the horseradish in smaller amounts, Ron ate way to much of it at once... lol
@EarlyAmerican thank you so much for your reply. I wondered whether your candles were a type of beeswax, because I noticed over your videos they burned slowly and cleanly.
I've smelled myrtle bushes, so I can imagine how beautiful a house would have smelled burning mayberry candles.
Thank you again so much 💖
Thank you, I can’t wait to make this tonight 🤤
Oh man this looks yummy! The cabin looks so cozy and the falling rain is heavenly 🌼
the rain sounds so comforting! I moved to Las Vegas a few years ago and it never rains and it's really getting to me lol 😭😭
Yeah
It sure does! Total cozy fall vibes
Tôi thích món ăn này, quá tuyệt vời
. Oh, it rains all right. It rains so much that the casinos flood!
Love the sound of the rain dancing on the cabin ❤ Thanks, Justine!
As always this dinner looks great! The rain hitting the roof had a nice calming effect. Thank you for putting a smile on my face today!
Simple, yet delicious. Just goes to show that a good meal does not have to be complicated.
Simple delicious fare.
Quá tuyệt vời
I have a 1930’s cookbook my grandmother helped put together as part of a cooking club in Chicago back then, and nutmeg is occasionally used to season beef. I tried it. It’s very good. Not too much, just enough to have this mysterious, “this is really good but I don’t know what it is” added to it. It’s nutmeg!
Nutmeg is the secret to cooking and baking. Makes food delicious for sure.
My grandma gave me her grandmothers cook book filled with so many old recipes of things the from the 1800s
Nutmeg was so common back then because it was pretty easy to forage up and store.

She must love you.
Search: what in woods? ………. Thank me later 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The feeling this video gives is indescribable i love how authentic these scenarios are i love that they pop as a piece of history
I love the sound of the rain. It's so relaxing and cozy. And Mish Mish curled up sleeping just perfects the picture.😊❤
I would have never thought to add grated lemon zest to onions for a recipe like this. It looks delicious!
May I ask, how readily available were lemons and other citrus if you didn’t live in California or Florida?
The question is, where would someone have gotten lemons in 1796? Probably not a common fruit, especially in the frontier or the northern states.
@@ericblair6984 didnt they ue it on boats for scurvy? it would have had to be available?
That looks like horse poop.
I find your videos so relaxing. I'm a huge history nerd and love cooking shows! 😊
Me too!
How are you
I live in Uzbekistan
I am girl
I am reading
I'm going to miss that little cabin once your house is built! For now I'll savor all the time left watching you cook up delicious meals in your cozy kitchen.
Oh gosh... same here! Does anyone know if they're selling it? Or is it already sold?🥺
God...I can imagine me sitting next to the fire, since it's raining, maybe whittling some new kitchen utensils, or strumming some tunes on the guitar, as I watch this beautiful woman cooking me a meal. Just seems so, peaceful. Thank you for this post. It's good ammo for a bad day :)
Justine, your smile said it all!! What a wonderful way to spend a rainy afternoon!! So warm and cozy!! Thank you for sharing this.
THE sound of RAIN 🌧️ is simply wonderful and mesmerizing !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ HAPPY FLAG DAY TO ALL!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻📯📯📯📯😎😎🥰😎
Yes, the rain and crackling fire really did it.
Sheldon ?
As we get old we enjoy this kind of videos . So relaxing
Love these videos! The cozy log home, the dress, the food, the joyful music at the end. I also appreciate your sharing the original recipe!
Do you (or have you) considered selling a cookbook with photos from these videos? That would be an awesome cookbook to own!
As soon as the sound of the rain came on I knew I would love this one; but then I saw Mish Mish taking his peaceful nap and that absolutely sealed the deal. ❤🐾
Im really happy to see you taking great care to keep your skirts clear of the fire. Fireplace cooking can be a disaster, as you know. You display a lot of care and hard work in your presentations and they are quite a delight!
Everything in this video is so beautiful! The forest, the house, the meals, you ☺🖤
Aw 🥰you gave me tummy lava
@@EarlyAmericanмадам откуда ты?
This just popped on my feed and i am drawn to this like ive never felt before i know im an old soul and belong in those times truly blessed to have found these vids thanks
Congrats on 1 million subs! Also, watching this while eating is amazing!! Thank you
That looks so cozy with the rain lightly falling on the cabin while you are cooking. That food looks great !
It's really very exciting to watch your videos. You certainly make them your captive and taking them all along through ages. It's a classic one.
I've watched this at least a dozen times, and it never gets old, very cozy.
Beautiful video, so peaceful with the rain in the background and the crackles of the fireplace was so great and calming❤
Sounds so cozy!! 🌧🥰🩷
I haven't even watched the full video yet and I liked it just for the rain in the forest! My all-time favorite sound!!!
Cooking in rainy and scenic place has always been my preference..Great video
These videos are so incredibly calming, in addition to providing great looking recipes. Thanks!
Agreed!
I love the sound of the rain and the cozy kitchen sounds and the lit candles and fireplace
Right...🥰🥰🥰
The forest,the house,the meals
Is so beautiful 👍👍
The cracking fire is so soothing. Love your videos so much!!
Again just such a lovely meal a lovely experience a lovely time period simple and pure. I really love going back in time with you Justine! You're are brilliant young woman and kudos to Ron for seeing that!
I wish I was there to sample. Looks very tasty and how can you go wrong with potatoes as a side dish. Delish.
Nothing is sweeter than Mish Mish taking a good ole' cat nap while it raining.....
just the simple little touch of trying to make it pretty makes it so much more real
Looks like a good supper for any day. 🥰💕❤️👍👍
I love the sound of rain in the forest!!
So happy with each episode! I wish they never end!
The meal loooks delicious.
The rain makes this video even more relaxing
Thank you, Justine.
I love looking at the old receipt! Can you imagine the real housewives of 1796!
When women took pride in their homes❤
Thanks Justine! The meal looks delicious! I'm looking forward to Chew & Chat so I can find out how delicious it tastes.
It is so cool that meat tenderizing techniques haven't changed much! (I think a little mushroom ketchup would work well as a tenderizing marinade)
perfect for homeschool learning, we are about to get to this time period! so excited to cook with the kids.
I’ve been to cabinets like this on vacations. The oxygen is 100% pure and I felt like I was actually happy living a life of luxury. Especially when it’s raining. That puts me to sleep fast, end up drooling fast asleep. Wish we can reverse time.
Looks delicious 💕
Glad you got some rain -been pretty dry in the Midwest
yes we were a few inches below normal for this time in the year. I was getting worried. We are all very grateful for the rain.
This is awesome! I didn’t know they could record in such good quality in the 1700’s!!
I'm always hungry after watching your ingenious videos. Also, looks delicious and so comforting and cozy on a rainy evening.
I love this content! Thank you!!
The dish is similar to our german "Zwiebelfleisch" (onionmeat) or goulash. Onionmeat is a very common dish in Münsterland-Region. Beef is being used or pork.
Maybe its is remember when the Europeans invaded natives land?
Maybe. I suppose at some point people adopted recipes from each other.
Great video Justine, I personally think this dish may have some Austrian/German and even perhaps some Polish inspiration in it from the picked onions and the sauerkraut. Keep up the great work.
This beautiful, cozy cabin and the rain is so wonderul. I am sure the cabin smells heavenly with this meal cooking! I just love your videos. I wasn't able to get them for a while and really missed them.
Simple things bring on peaceful things thank you❤
I can't wait to try this one! My family has really loved a good number of other recipes I've gotten from your channel and I think this one will be another hit. (Also, if you read those funny characters in the original receipt as an "F" instead of an "S' and read it out loud, it sounds like me as a kid before speech therapy! 🤣🤣🤣)
Sauerkraut is not the same as pickled cabbage. Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage. They have different seasonings and prepared differently. I want to thank you for all the work you put into making your videos. They are so enjoyable.
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you.
I'm a mother of 7. And watching these videos mellow me out.
On your way too 1.1 million subs God willing
your channel is a sactuary for my overworked brain ❤
Such a nice, heart-warming receipt with the sound of the rain on this Aussie winters day is just perfect 🤘🥰🤘
Bless your sweet heart Justine. Thank you for sharing everything with us.
Only 1700s kids remembered this dish 😔😔
😂 😂
Yeah its old time the dish was delicious 😔
yes we missed it 😞
Good times
💖 my favorite channel!
That looks fantastic Justine. I would love to try to make this. Thank you for the receipt and showing us how to cook it. Can't wait to try it.
I love all the historically accurate dishes, pots, pans and utensils! Do you guys live in that cabin while you are waiting for your house to be finished? If so, do you prefer this way of life? I bet it is peaceful if you do. I love the recipes! Thanks for sharing!
So cozy
I am so relax to watch your cooking recipes
Been watching for a long time. Congrats on a million subs. Much deserved! Looking forward to future videos.
My kind of day and my kind of supper
@2:30 But... but.... it's the chicken board!!! It's reserved for chiken!!! 😂
I need a MooMoo board 🤔
Nothing as cozy as a warm fire and a sleepy kitty on a rainy day.
Omgosh the sound of rain sounds so beautiful.
Looks delicious! Reminds me of the first cubed steaks 😊❤
You should host a early American Lollapalooza ,coz play,and we raise a barn or plow a field, dig a well then a pot luck....I vote yes ❤❤❤
You mean you want to plow my field and build my barn....for free? How can I say no
I fixed this recipe, it was much better than I expected, I'm going to have to prepare more of your meals. Very tasty. Thank you.
I love all the flavour combinations in this! Thank you for this calming video :)
Agreed!
Look very good. Maybe German in origin? I still love your apron. ❤😊❤
Lovely. A perfect video at the end of a looooonnnngggg day. I wonder how parents (mom’s) kept the little ones out of the fire while mom cooked. I baby proofed everything, I had a lock on my oven. It’s so much easier today it’s unreal. (And I’m so happy to be living today!) also, you make historical cooking look so easy.
Honestly, you sound like an overprotective, helicopter mother. I have had three children, and as a single parent raised them. They received guidance on what to touch and what not, and my youngest decided that Dad didnt know what he was talking about. She got a blister for her efforts, twice (two different implements). She was headstrong, but learned. My girls know their way around a fire, having started as soon as they were a few weeks old. Knives too. I am astounded at this North American culture that is teaching our young to be absolute cotton balls scaredy cats. It does not bode well for the future. Lighten up, let the bruises, scrapes and etc happen and let their childhoods be awesome. Good luck.
I really enjoy your videos they’re so relaxing and refreshing ❤
THE HOUSE THE FOOD THE RAIN THE AMBIANCE THIS IS HEAVEN
another classic 😍
Suara hujan itu begitu indah menemani anda masak dan terdengar merdu di telinga ku 🤍🇮🇩🤍
sampling is also my fav part.............just love the way you cooked on a rainy day..........cheers
what a cozy place .... I love these places 😍❤
Justine I always wonder about how you wash up all your dishes after cooking. I'd watch that video if you made it! Much love to you and Ron!
I have something for you! Just the video that you asked for 😁 ua-cam.com/video/SfJk6Ha6vOc/v-deo.html
@@EarlyAmerican I should have known you already had a washing up video! Life was hard work back then! Thanks Justine😊
Justine is such a gem 💗 she is a doll 😊
My German Mom made a similar recipe but no pickled onion. Sometimes purple cabbage was substituted for sour kraut. Potatoes were also served similarly and evolved over the years. Last time I remember her serving them it was potato quarters with sour cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Your cooking made me long for some Mom's.
This is genius the way they rolloed the butter in flour!!!! Yesss! Thank u for sharing
Looks tasty!
I'd love to see you cook some of the meals mentioned in Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books as those were authentic to the farm life and the pioneer life of the latter half of the 19th century.
I appreciate this information, thank you 💕 I never read those books. I put them in my Amazon cart. I'm currently putting together recipes from the 1700-s onward as a personal project. Mingled with family recipes handed down from great great great grandparents.
@@KikiFu There's a Little House cookbook you should add to your cart. Food plays such a prominent role in the books and intrigues so many readers, that one reader ended up publishing recreations of the recipes. The book also contains essays about food sources at the time. (Geared for children, naturally.)
IMO, fried apples and onions (from Farmer Boy the second book) are absolutely delicious. I need to make those again.
@@margaretalbrecht4650I'll do that for sure.😃 I learned during the pandemic that I really miss a slower pace. Savoring the creation of foods has been a nice way to find peace in the constant bustle of modern life. ❤️I appreciate the advice, thanks again!
I love it when she smiles while trying the food
Amazing food and love the cat wanna see more of the cat in more videos. Keep up the good work
Yummy!
With the amount of time it took just to EAT, it's no wonder the strong, brave pioneers didn't have time to sit around and wonder, "Am I a boy or a girl???"
That is not the point that was being made. The pioneers were so engaged in the simple activities of surviving that there was no time nor energy left to even question their gender presentation. It's very much a 21st century consequence of too much time to ruminate on our entitled selves.
Day after day, nostalgia for going back to the past in the way of living increases. Creativity in work and photography and the way of modest and respectable clothing for Justin. ❤
Beautiful presentation! Brava!
👏👏 Another amazing video and meal! Thank You !
Loved the rain on the roof! So cozy.🙂
I really enjoy watching your videos. Great job.
So relaxing while watching your vlog. It is so nice to be relax while rain pour outside. Just look at mitch mitch....just being cozy while watching the open window. The food is soooo amazing yummy !!!!!
I like the silent, no speaking style of the video, it has a nice calming effect and seems to be more effective in teaching the viewer on how to cook the dish. Well- done video.
