how to grill Flank Steak, with healthy French Fries

[9196dreamers]

i love your show but i have to say that putting something in the microwave kills all nutrients in the food. sorry but these fries are anything but healthy :(

[sterbill1]

have you ever consider making cakes or maybe a food from another country like vietnam

especially rice noodle soup, also called pho

[WalksThroughLife]

Looks delicious!

[EasyRecipesHQ]

liked the vids....congrats good stuff

[abhijitvmehta]

What kinda olive oil are you using? Extra Virgin, refined or regular?

[switch55]

Fun video. I've never cooked a flank steak but always wanted to know how for dishes like this and tacos. Props for cooking in that -5 F cold too!

[cookingfordads]

@switch55 Thanks, it's one of my favorite cuts of meat

[777angelfuck]

really enjoy your segments!

[00MsLovely]

I thought MSG was bad for you?

[5central5valley9]

Your the best man

[OPdAtLife]

are u gay? " its super good! " :P

[krnjman95]

IF ONLY THEY HAD SOME WAY THAT I COULD TASTE THAT STEAK...... and especially that dessert.... everything looks so delicious!

[Pals86]

Hello! Does the fries taste as crispy as when it is deep fried? And can i toast them using an oven toaster instead of frying it?

[cookingfordads]

@Pals86 the fries are very crispy just like deep fired, I don't think you can roast them, you need that contact and just a little oil. You could try brushing them with a little olive oil and then roasting them. if you do it let me know how it goes.

[MrWeezyfbabynohomo]

little advice when cutting chunks into fries keep them all stacked :D

[IsTheAlvin]

awesome video!

Perfect steak and low fat fries!

[Semtexx7]

ROFL AT 05:23 !! xD

[del690]

@Semtexx7 Great sense of humour:(

[MinhSaChau]

MSG is sooo good. It enhances the flavor of meats.

[cookingfordads]

yes, but it causes headaches in many

[MinhSaChau]

True, in some it hurt's their bones.

[djmisplacedmarblesTV]

phew, good call leaving out the MSG .. :)

my philosophy is if it grows in the ground its ok to eat ( if edible obviously) could use ground nut oil instead of olive oil for sauteing the potato 'fries' it takes a higher heat and is still healthy cool , might try the sugar water thing, I know a good recipe for good crispy potatoes , but blanch in water not microwave man c'mon- more even cook boiled too,

YUM grill food it all looks v nice cept choc sauce looks like it has scary additives in

[rubenfranko]

Of course it gets better... could be sirloin or ribeye

[cookingfordads]

ribeye, yes (although fattier) sirloin no, the taste of flank is much better imho

[jcole74]

i think that was the most sugar i have ever seen at once

[rubenfranko]

Healthy french fries? You don't say...

[cookingfordads]

I do...

[yonimiller]

Umm... Salad dresssing from a jar?

[cookingfordads]

I like both Brianna's and Litehouse Dressing but you can make your own. try my cooking4dads channel on making your own dressing

[MorbidHumanity666]

Rob barret?, CANNIBAL CORPSE!!! \m/

[thirdstreetmusic]

Alas no, much, much poorer.

[k9chopper]

awesome recipe, thanks for sharing!

My kids loved it.

[catanan]

Are you sure this is not "Cooking for fags" ?

[wxylovealot121]

woah slow down there, be nice!

[shazmar87]

i luv fries that was awesome man

[chefcommons]

Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)

[DAHLIN11]

[Naganita]

this guy sounds like he needs to come out of the closet...sorry bro if your not gay u just sound a little fruity.

[djmrbrown00]

damn, can a guy be a overly articulate in peace??

[RandomMaster007]

this guy is a little fruity

[ShaftInAfrica920]

Who did you vote for in the past presidential election?

[firelord9000]

who is video taping? i always wanted to know lol

[catanan]

his husband

[Xeqtrr123]

flank steak is a though cut of meat no?

[cookingfordads]

No it's really great. Give it a try.  You'll love it.

[RandomMaster007]

if u dont like flank

try skirt

its the same price

but a little more fat

this makes it a lot more tender

[mouna28]

American people are too fat : they must eat not as much ...

[cookingfordads]

Hey, we're working on it. :-)

[pdelao13]

your awsome

[humanentropy]

how to you expect to appeal to Americans with such a small meal?

[Botox84]

OMG the Kowalski market reminds me of the time i spent in White Bear Lake.

Was my best time ever.

Greetings from germany!

[delaroch4]

no cooking culture in the us. its terrible.

[gino26gman]

fry them in grape seed oil its better than olive oil

[cookingfordads]

True, it's just hard to find grape seed oil readily available in all parts of the us.

[cmmnsense]

That looks worthy of a try. Lol, I thought I was going to see some lettuce on the "salad." Great job though.

[GamerzPride]

Proper good job dude!

[hornstra1]

Yoho. You may call them ' french fries' , but in fact they are a belgian monument. France added veggies, and England their fish and vinager.

You, sir, have made an X rated vid with potatoes.

[cookingfordads]

You are right, although the ones I had in Brussels were on the street and were called Frites or Frituurs or something like that and were served with mayo. They were delicious. I think that if I called them Belgian fries, it wouldn't show up in the search engines as well. :-)

[vunamese]

have you tried using flat iron steak? it's awesome too

[bdd549]

i love flat iron steaks=]

[vunamese]

they are soooo good. it can be hard to find though. the market close to my house just had them for $6/lb just last week. i cried.

[bdd549]

oh thats sad=[. Those steaks are awesome and tender.

[Courtney1734]

You do such a great job! Thank you!

[TALLMATE73]

u shop at the expensive store

[rockmanxxx123456]

your eating ice cream while its -5F outside? lol

[nitr0burn]

Wow, what a stupid comment.

[debit256]

I'm pretty sure that anything deep fried is unhealthy for you.

[nitroburn]

If done incorrectly, yes it can be.

[wutang594]

lmao that is true

[bdd549]

if you bake the french fry instead of frying it, it is considered "healthier" than your regular french fries.

[MQnoob]

You should seriously be on TV with your on cooking show.

[BabyMelly]

Omg, I love you! This looks so good! However, I have a question! I live in an apartment so I can't really do any grilling here, but if I stick it in the oven, will it come out as well?

[cookingfordads]

Yes you can roast it in the oven. I havent done it that way for a long time but it an be done. Try it at 450 and turn it after 7 minutes and let it cook until done. Remember, you can always cook it more, you can never cook it less. Let me know how it goes. take a pic and send it to me. Rob B

[BabyMelly]

Thank you SO much! I'm definitely going to try that. By the way, today I tried to do fries like you showed on the video, but I added the salt and oil before popping them in the microwave LOL, then I fried them and they came out all soggy. I'll do it right this time, and I'll definitely get you that picture!! MUCH LOVE! :) Thanks again!

[nitr0burn]

Low and Slow will give you a very nice tender falling apart flank steak. Put it in a bun /w bbq sauce and it is the best! :D

Leftover flank steak is awesome as well.

[PrincessSheedy]

hey my computer has a wcam on it ne1 want to help me chat 5

[lipglossandstds]

I like this one the most. It looks pretty much really yummy. I ought to try this sometime. You're a really good cook. c:

[tazerfire]

shouldnt you life the meat up, then put a little marinade on the bottom then lay the meat in and put the rest ontop because it didnt look like it would get coated underneith

[PivotDreamArt]

I really dont like it when people are for sale... 12:00...

[ampii76]

this video made me HUNNNGRY !!!!!1 but how do i make sugar water can anyone help?

[cookingfordads]

For soaking the fries? just spoon sugar in to the water about 2 table spoons per cup.

[Aquathps]

Are the fries crispy that way? I've found that soft fries are inevitable unless you deep fry. If the whole pan technique works then I'm sold.

Btw- kudos on the desert.

[cookingfordads]

Thanks.

the fries really are great. the important thing is to work in small batches and keep all the fries in the pan in contact with the bottom. Try and get all the fries browned on at least 3 sides. Trust me, they are pretty great.

RB

[yellowman88]

The fries are crispier if you half boil the fries before you mix it with the oil and everything. It makes crispy fries because the fries are drier after you boil it.

[cookingfordads]

Actually, micro waving works pretty well.

[derpenstein]

Your knife skills really need some work.

[eddy536]

but at least he tries and take effort

[Oubersnout]

i like to grill i like to grill i like to grill yes i do

[tomatomonkey92]

woahh yellow tomatoe ive nvr seen that xD so noob

[dirkbikeman1001]

I didn't know you could have 16 minute videos

[dradude9]

seriously u got to buy smt to make ur cuting board not move it is so dangerously

[hotdogmania]

Good stuff. I'll have to try that soon. But you're crazy being outside in just a sweater in -20 C

[k419554]

if i have 3 steaks do I double the marinade recipe

[cookingfordads]

That's probably a good idea.  Have fun, take a pic and send it to me. Rob B

[endlsswing]

wish my dad cooked like he did..

[antro1767]

Rob,you make cooking simple and tasty...i will wait for your next recipe soon!

Regards from Portugal!

[BronzeLats]

That looks finger licking good. I will have to give this a try.

[AnimeGirlsUSA]

Oh My God how do people dont like this guy?it sooooo gooooooooooood

[k777t]

I'm drooling lol

[WallysLodge]

Note to self. Don't watch "Cooking for Dads" on an empty stomach. Risk of severe hunger pains and drooling.

[dotcomme1]

Rob For Tv.

[dotcomme1]

super good.

[turnthepage]

YESSSS something with no onions!!! Looks good...

A fry..fry haha :)

[iLuvArTyFaRtyStuFf]

MMMMmmmmmm.....Good!

[BlackHawk10000]

I thought this looked Amazing BEFORE I saw the Pineapple desert... Now I don't think I can resist making it ASAP!!!!!!! :D

Another Fantastic Show! Keep it up!

[VV0VVdave]

Good video again ;D checking out the site as im typing this

[makotok3n]

i was wondering what happened to the pineapple dessert, but it was actually at the end of the video hehehe :]

btw, can i use the marinade to some other meat? or is it only suitable for a steak?

[cookingfordads]

I think it would work on some other simple steak like a sirloin, but I've never tried it on chicken. If you do, let me know. I should work on short ribs. good luck. RB

[kooktocook]

Looks good!

[dotcomme1]

Super Good.

[CanOfSpam]

Your videos are AWSOME!

Its just such a shame that here in Europe we dont have halv of what you use....wish there was a website that recommends alternativs for stuff in situations like mine...

[cookingfordads]

Where do you live, what can't you find? Maybe I can recommend something. RB

[CanOfSpam]

Well in this video I have no idea what "Molasses" is. I live in Norway, and I dont even know what its called over here! :)

Also "Flank Steak", any idea of alternate names for that? I asked at the meat counter today and they had no idea. They only came up with regular T-bone steaks...

[cookingfordads]

for the molasses try brown sugar ( if you have that) and a skirt steak or beef short ribs. It will also work with sirloin if neccesary. Cook well. RB

[CanOfSpam]

Thanks! I will give this a try this weekend! =D

[LeFoiHyene]

Omg.....I actually drooled on the keyboard in real life xD hahahaha

[MGABBYB]

Looks yummy.  Here's a tip for you: When you need to measure honey or molasses, dip the spoon in oil first, that way it won't stick to the spoon...

[cookingfordads]

thanks, I'll have to try that. RB

[KlaxonCow]

Hey, Rob. Great show. :D

I reckon you ought to put a link to your website at the top of your video descriptions (check out any video by WhatTheBuckShow or sxephil - they both always do this with their video descriptions, if you want to see what I mean).

Go on, there's nothing remotely wrong with a touch of "self-promotion" of your own website on your videos here - if people are interested in your videos then they are going to be interested in the website.

[KlaxonCow]

(Anyway, it's a link, so if they aren't interested, then they just won't click on it. So, it doesn't really get in the way of anything or annoy anyone.)

Indeed, I bet most of your viewers will LOVE the convenience of being able to just click and quickly find their way to the full recipes.

The web is all about links. They bring the web together and, well, is what makes it "a web" in the first place. A well placed link is always a good thing. :D

[KlaxonCow]

p.s. Ah, I see you've added the web address at the bottom (that wasn't there when I first looked at the video).

But it's not showing up as a clickable link.

It probably needs to be in HTML code for that. If you don't know how to do the HTML for that, Rob, then I think I could probably work it out for you, as I know a little HTML code. :D

[Amythababii]

I LOVE THESE!!! your awesome.

[Amythababii]

THIS WAS AWESOME. i did it for my fam this weekend. they loved it. and they told me if i could to the same next weekend. lol. thanks man.

your awesome.

you need your own cooking channel.

[irishlluv]

I love your videos. It's just my speed. I would recommend that you put a link to your website in your description box on the right. Thanks!

[KlaxonCow]

Ah-ha! So it was you who got to suggesting putting up the website address before I did!

I watched this earlier and thought "hmm, I might recommend that to Rob" but when I come back later to actually make the suggestion, I see that Rob's already done it.

It still needs to be a clickable link, I think - for convenience - but I think Rob ought to put it there at the top of all his videos. Folks who enjoy the videos will be interested to see the website - he should promote it better! ;D

[topcat4eva]

Awesome! I like that its a longer episode also. ★★★★★

[peglol]

Good video. Can you explain the soaking the potatoes in sugar water? I've never heard of that before. How much sugar and water?

Thanks

[cookingfordads]

McDonald's soaks their fries in sugar water before cooking (or the equivalent) You can do the same thing and it does makes a little difference. I'd use three parts water and one part sugar, stir until dissolved. Soak for 30 minutes. Then deep fry. ;-(

[tylermanchesteruntd]

haha "this is found near the shurups"

this video made my day :)

lol im hungry now though

[Zimbeh]

Typo in the description, just a heads up. Great video though, wonderful cooking! You make me hungry. ^.^
