That presentation. Looks gooooood. 

I like the portion control. Like a champ! 

Thanks D! I think this is the second time I’ve made this at home. I believe I like it better at home although it doesn’t save me much in the way of calories.  

Thanks LZ! After making this I realized it’s about what I normally eat out portion wise. I usually eat half my meal which is 3-5oz of steak and this one was 5.57 oz raw before the batter. I weigh and log in grams and haven’t really thought about converting to ounces. The restaurants post info in ounces. The big difference here is I made a bit extra broccoli and I doubled the potatoes and gravy 😉. I’m almost positive I logged too much oil especially since I blotted all the extra off of each steak. Nobody likes a greasy steak 🤪. Youngest two shared a small one, oldest got a small one, I had a bigger one and hubby had two bigger ones and finished all of the kids’. He went for the last one and I sweetly reminded him that I was eating half now and save my other half for leftovers. Therefore that last one would be my other half haha. He’d already had around a pound of steak. He didn’t need more lol. Only problem is that I didn’t weigh it before cooking so I’ll have to guess. So worth it!  

Drool!
