TB's Texas Chicken Fried Steak Sammich w/Trinidad Scorpion Cheese Sauce

Hey ya'll. This one is as cheezy and sloppy as it gets...

The steak:
Pounded round steak seasoned w/sea salt, fresh cracked pepper.
Dredged in flour, then a 50/50 eggwash and buttermilk, then flour again.
Deep fried in the dutch oven.

The cheese sauce:
I wanted to keep it simple and trashy....
In a sauce pan I combined garlic, heavy cream, velveeta, and AJ's Trinidad Scorpion Puree.
Brought it to a slow simmer, stirring constantly.

I put it all up on a buttered and toasted sourdough boulle with the usual fixin's...

But first...

Burnin' cheezy hotness right here...

Gratuitous "Liberace" shot...

'Thangs got real sloppy from here.....

Might have overdone it on the T-scorp....I'm a hurtin' unit right now.....

So far I like the Minorcan Grouper! Something about the fried grouper with a hab/guava chutney AND bacon avocado mayo. All kinds of flavors melding there.

EDIT: Oh my there's a crazy entry above. Will look!

 

[paulky_2000]

Um.....yeah.....

TB.....about that sammich?

wow.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Nice job TB, that's a contender. Never had chicken fried steak with cheese sauce but damn that sounds right. And AJ's puree!

 

[texas blues]

It was a real mess to eat. Just cutting the 'thang it was sliding all over the plate. 3 bites in and my face was melting off. AJ warned me but me sooooo stupid!

Entry #2 coming in another hour or 2....

What leftover cheese sauce? While the heat level was right at about my limit, it didn't stop me from taking a bath in the stuff. It was nothing short of incredible and I mopped up every drop!!

AJ that burger is just...AWESOME DUDE!!!

I think that I have to disagree with your history lesson though... According to a show I saw on the History Channel or Food Network (I am great with trivia, but somehow the origin of such trivia escapes me, weird huh?) as well as a few web sites, here are a couple:

New Haven, Connecticut's Louis' Lunch (a restaurant dating back to 1895) claims that Louis Lassen served up the first hamburger in response to an impatient customer's hurried lunch order. The Library of Congress supposedly verifies this, giving credence to this claim.​

http://bbq.about.com/cs/hamburgers/a/aa070597.htm

...the Library of Congress agrees it was Louis Lassen who invented the burger when he put scraps of ground between slices of bread for fast, easy eating. And second, Lassen's burgers are still served at Louis Lunch, a small hamburger shack in New Haven where Jeff Lassen is the fourth generation proprietor...​

TB that Texas fried steak is one of my favorites, as I fell in love with them while living in Texas. However, personally I prefer mine with the standard country white gravy. Still, I would chow down on that one.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Well he did say North America, so he's good
Trash talker!

 

[paulky_2000]

Is that the place that has been using the SAME vertical two-sided broilers for over a hundred years?

Boooooooooo....Louis Lunch scrambled and politicians from CT bribed there way in. Because they say...don't make it true.
