I was born in Joliet so I am very familiar with Merishka's. But living down in Texas I don't get the luxury of heading over to Crest Hill to get these amazing garlicky delights. I will be trying this recipe this week.
I moved to Texas 22 years ago and was born in Joliet have been to Merishka's several times years ago. I was looking for a recipe and yours was the first I clicked on. Thank you! It brought back a lot of great times and was just as good! All they make with cube steak down here is chicken fried steak and gravy gravy gravy. I miss Yankee cooking and I thank you again! I will make this many more times! Good Job!!!!
The recipe for the steak poorboy is simple: Grilled cube steak with lots of garlic butterine (garlic, butter, margerine) slathered on lightly toasted french bread. Add hamburger pickles on the side; I like swiss cheese on mine. Add a twice-baked potato with the salad and you have the poor boy plate. Enjoy!
I also have the coveted recipe & love it! I lived in Joliet for 30 yrs and grew up on Merichkas food. I moved away 22 years ago but my entire family still lives there. Everytime I visit I have to have a Merichkas poorboy! I would like the garlic butterine recipe. Any help?
My recipe is also a fabulous garlic butter sauce for pasta; try stirring it through tagliatelle or busiate as a very quick, easy, and flavorsome side dish. And don't forget some crusty bread on the side!
One of the recurring requests from people across the United States is shipping the garlic butterine poorboy sandwiches and Merichka's famous house dressing, which Joe described as "a French/Russian concoction."
