     Hi everyone! I hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend! For me, it was awesome because I was able to fly to the Bay Area in CA and visit my Daughter's family and we drove to visit my mom and family about 3 hours away.  It was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately, when we got back to my daughter's house, I came down with some sort of bug and was knocked out of the action for a whole day! Fortunately was better by Sunday afternoon and we got to spend some quality time together. Since I was flying home on Monday, I didn't put up my normal Monday post.  But I hope that today's post will make up for the wait, because, TAH DAH, I am finally sharing the copy cat Beef Poutine recipe that you have been waiting for.  On this post we gave you Disney Tips and told you about Red Rose Tavern and I promised to share a the recipe with you.  So, here it is! 
     Hipster Beef Poutine
     Traditionally, Poutine is made with fries, cheese curds and brown gravy.  My son-in-law says that all of the variations on Poutine are kind of new and hipster syle, so since I love this way of making it, I am calling it Hipster Beef Poutine.

  • The first thing you have to do is roast until shreddable tender a nice beef roast.  I did mine in the crock pot.  Season it however you like, with salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and when it is all done, shred it up and reserve the juices for the gravy.

  • Make some fries.  Maddy made some for this dish out of red potatoes, cut into steak fries.  She said that when she had been to Canada, she always had Poutine with steak fries.  She drizzled them with olive oil and seasoned them with salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic.  You can season them your favorite way.  Then, she baked them until they were tender.  At the Red Rose Tavern, they use waffle fries. 
  • You also need cheese curds.  You can purchase these at Costco.  I couldn't find them at our local grocery store, but I did find mozzarella pearls that are very similar.

  • Just before you are ready to serve, make the gravy.  Here is my tried and true way:
Brown Beef Gravy:
  1. Pour the juice from the beef into a skillet and heat to boiling.  While it is heating, you can start to season it with salt and pepper. 
  2. Add about 1/2 c. water to the juices
  3. In a 2 c. measuring cup, put 1 cup of water and about 3 T flour.  Mix together thoroughly.  Pour the mixture into the boiling juices slowly and quickly whisk it together, ensuring no lumps! If it doesn't get as thick as you would like, depending on the amount of juices that you have this can vary, make a little more of the water and flour mixture and add more to the juices. Allow to boil and simmer so the flour cooks and you don't have a raw flour taste.  Add seasonings to taste.

Those little lumps aren't flour but little bits of the beef. You can strain them out if you would like, but why? This gravy is so tasty!
     Now, here is how you put it all together! 
Put a bed of fries in your dish.
Top the fries with the cheese curds. Be generous, these are one of the best parts.
Top the curds with some shredded beef.
Now ladle on the gravy. Let it get all over!
    You are not quite finished!  Remember last week I showed you how to make pickled onions!  They are the perfect accompaniment on top of this dish!

YUM!
     There you have it! I know you will love it! So give this traditional French-Canadian dish a try!
