That is exactly how I does it too except I usually use Panko these days and I blend it with grated parmesan to really bring the parm.
I used to hand make it at Maxwell's Restaurant exactly like your wifey to order. Quite a pain in the ass actually, but I got it down...a few years later my friend Dom showed me the parmesan + panko version and I was like "Why didn't I ever think of doing that??" The Panko + Parm is something I took away from Sam Snead's in Orlando...along with Kings Hawaiian French Toast with Grand Marnier, and I never even worked there.
I learned a cool steak recipe in Florida. Marinate a nice 12-14oz ribeye in crushed pineapple + teriyaki for a couple hours. While that's away, grate a handful of nice fresh ginger root and let it steep in a few tablespoons of ginger on super low heat or even a double boiler. Basically make ginger butter without separating the butter. Let it set halfway and roll it up in wax paper to make a log and slice a few pats for your pineapple teriyaki ribeyes...put it right on top of the hot steak.
We would decide which side we want facing up for each steak, and throw that pretty side down onto a preheated 500° flat iron griddle with a little oil for a minute to get the sizz happening...as they were getting plated...still sizzling...the butter goes on the steaks and starts melting like a boss. Pineapple teriyaki ginger Ribeyes from a 4 star restaurant. I stole this recipe from Kemmons Place restaurant on 192 in Orange Lake Country Club. My parents bought a few weeks RCI Timeshare, and I got friendly with a couple of the cooks and found out the recipe from the inside. The real secret of that dish was the high end locally farmed beef they were getting...that would have been good no matter what you did to it. The steak dinner I had there was incredible, it was the best steak I had eaten up till that point...and the guy who made that resort is the man that created Holiday Inn, Kemmons Wilson. I even met him once, he reminded me of Kenny Rogers for some reason.
I used to listen to Kenny Rogers The Gambler on my Fisher Price record player when I was 7. I also had Billy Joel, Johny Horton, and the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack where Axel F hid. Don't judge. Hahaha.
I did get Appetite For Destruction on my 13th birthday...which is why I started playing guitar, so at least I didn't stick with Billy Joel.
Ooh...I'm making those melt in your mouth beef sammiches in a little bit, I got the beef all soaking and forked in the teriyaki/garlic/pepper juice
nice corn grow Mano
