Make Milk Steak With Jelly Beans

Do you watch the show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", and love it? Then you might know of the character Charlie Kelly's favorite meal, "milk steak", boiled "over hard", with a side of jelly beans served raw. The famous milk steak is seen in the episode "The Waitress is Getting Married".

Ingredients

  • Milk Steak:
  • 1 medium 8.8oz. (.25Kg) flat iron steak (top blade shoulder steak)
  • 2 cup milk (preferably whole, called "4%")
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Garnish:
  • 1/2 cup Jelly Belly® jelly beans

Steps

  1. Add the milk, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla to a medium sized saucepan.
  2. Heat up the mixture, stirring until the honey has completely dissolved.
  3. Bring the mixture to the boil.
  4. Carefully place the steak in the boiling milk mixture.
  5. Bring the liquid back to the boil and reduce the heat so that the milk is simmering.
  6. Cook this medium-sized steak for five minutes on one side, stirring the top occasionally to stop a skin forming on the milk.
  7. Turn the steak over and cook for a further five minutes on the other side.
  8. Check how well cooked your steak is. If you're after authenticity, the steak should be cooked "over hard" and so should not be pink at all.
  9. Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes.
  10. Garnish with jelly beans.

Tips

  • For a healthier option, try using skim or low fat milk.
  • For larger steaks, use a larger pan and proportionally more ingredients.
  • For ordinary methods and typical market grades of meat, a marinade is required to achieve tenderness on par with more expensive cuts such as ribeye or strip steak. This unusual cooking method may not need it. Tastes vary, though; marinate the meat, if desired.
  • For the more discerning gourmet, try fancy flavours of 'Jelly Belly' jelly beans to really take it to the next level.

Things You'll Need

  • Stove, or burner
  • Medium sized saucepan
  • Stirring spoon (tongs or such for turning steak, optional)
  • Fork and knife
  • Serving plate
