I cooked a couple of prime steaks last night. I always pour the steak juices on my baked potato. She says that is weird and ruins the flavor of the potato. Im Like hello steak.

When I was a kid growing up with my grandparents, my Grannie just about always served potatoes with every meal, and she usually had some kind of meat drippings, bacon grease, fatback, streakolean or something to drizzle on the taters.
Oh, and my wife calls me weird every day. Can't argue with that because she is right. Embrace the weirdness! -

Homemade gravy is made with drippings from the cooked protein. So in her view gravy on potatoes would be weird? The drippings are just a condiment.Hood Stars, Wrist Crowns and Obsession Dobs!

When I was a kid, my mom showed us to pour steak juices on a slice of white bread. I still sop it up like that!Lovin' my Large Egg since May 2012 (Richmond, VA) ... and makin' cookbooks at https://FamilyCookbookProject.com

Definitely not weird. Next time make a board sauce and pour on both your steaks. Weird to genius in no time

Right and weird aren't mutually exclusive.

I've never done that, but it sounds like a great idea!!!
Of course, I'm from a generation that prized "letting your freak flag fly..." and nobody has EVER accused me of being normal! <laughing> -
You just need to elevate it - call it Au Jus. Anything culinary sounds better in French.Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

My wife thinks that's normal. It was the taking pics of food when I posted a lot she thought was strangeColumbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

Yep, I'd put her on notice. No way is she right on this one.

Agreed- it is Au Jus, or the main ingredient in gravy. If taters and gravy is wrong I don't wanna be right.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

If being weird is wrong,I don't wanna be right !LBGE, and just enough knowledge and gadgets to be dangerous .
