Kenneth Eugene Smith’s Meal:

T-Bone Steak
Salt
Pepper
Fresh Thyme
Garlic Cloves
4 Tbsp Butter

3 Large Eggs
2 Tbsp Butter
Salt

1 Large Russet Potatoes
1/2 Cup Diced Onions

Step 1:
Start by taking the potatoes for both meals and wash them. Cut the first potato into wedges and place them into cold water to soak for 30 minutes. Then take the other potato and peel it and wash it. Grate it on a large hole grater. Place the potato shreds into another bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes also.
Step 2
With 30 extra minutes, make the tartar sauce. In a medium bowl, mix together the mayo, diced gherkins, dill, parsley, lemon juice, sugar and salt. Cover the top with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator until the meal is ready.
Step 3
Now take the potato wedges and place them on a towel lined baking pan and let them completely dry. Then take a large bowl and place a pasta strainer into the bowl. Then take a thin towel and line the bottom of the strainer. Next pour the bowl with the potato shreds into the towel lined strainer. You should have a bowl of water and a towel full of potato shreds. Fold the corners of the towel into each other and squeeze the potatoes into a ball at the bottom of the towel and squeeze the life out of it. Get as much water out as possible and then spread the shreds on a towel lined baking sheet and let them completely dry.
Step 4
Now for the fish. Start by filling a heavy bottom pot with your cooking oil of choice and heat that until it’s 375 degrees F or 190 degree C. Make sure your let the fish come to room temperature before breading and cooking. If your fish isn’t already cut into fillets then start by doing that. Pat those pieces completely dry with paper towels. Next on a plate or large baking dish add in the 1/2 cup of almond flour. In a separate medium sized bowl, add in the flour, almond flour, baking soda and COLD beer. Whisk for 5-10 second and stop. Take the fillets and dust them in the almond flour and then cover with the beer batter. Place directly into the hot oil and cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Take the cooked pieces out and drain on a paper towel lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with salt.
Note: there’s going to a lot more cooking coming up. The fish will stay crispy for a while but to ensure it stays crispy and warm, place the fish into a 300 degree oven that’s been shut off until ready to serve.
Step 5
Time for potato wedges! Take the dried potato wedges and place them into a medium bowl. Add in your oil and toss to coat the wedges. Then add in the corn starch and the rest of the seasonings and toss to ensure even coverage of flavor! Place the wedges into a 375 degree F air fryer for 12-18 minutes or until fork tender and crispy.
Step 6
In a large cast iron skillet, add a couple tbsp of cooking oil and add in you diced onions. Immediately salt to taste and let those cook until translucent and tender. Remove from the pan and place to the side. Then add if a heap of your shredded potato and shape into a circle. DO NOT TOUCH IT! Let this cook for 5-8 minutes on medium heat until you can easier place a spatula under it. If its still sticking to the pan, let it cook for another couple minutes. Flip over and add on your caramelized onions and your American cheese slices and let that cook until the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Steak Time! Take another large cast iron skillet and place over medium high heat. Let that get HOT! Spray with a light coat of cooking oil and add your steak and press it into the pan for a perfect sear. However you like your steak cooked, cook for that designated time frame. (chart below). Flip the steak over and let that sear for another minute. Then add in your butter, thyme and garlic and baste the steak for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let that rest for a good 10-15 minutes.
Step 8
Now its time for eggs. I chose to scramble my eggs but please feel free to cook your eggs however you please. For scrambled though, add your eggs into a bowl and use a fork to mix them until smooth. In a pan, add the butter and wait for that the get bubbly. Add in the eggs and immediately season to taste with salt. Continuously mix and flip the eggs in the pan and when they’re about 80% cooked. Turn off the heat and continue to move the eggs around for another minute and then remove from the pan.
Step 9
Tea Time! In a glass, add in the jelly or preserve of your choice and add in the warm water. Stir until the jelly or preserve is dissolved and add in the cold brew tea bag (tea bags that brew in cold water). Next add in some ice and enjoy!
Step 10
Plate up your meals and enjoy! Because you never know if it’ll be your last 😉
