I have never cooked a steak before and came across this recipe which looked pretty easy to make and decided to give it a shot.
**
The recipe's pretty idiot proof.
**
Ingredients:-
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups (375ml) beef/chicken stock
- 1kg frozen potato fries
- 2 tbsps peppercorn medley
- 4 beef fillet steaks (600g)
- 1/3 cup (80ml) thickened cream
**
1. Prepare the fries according to instructions
2. Meanwhile, place pepper and salt in shallow dish; press onto both sides of steaks.
3. Heat oil in a large frying pan; cook steaks until browned on both sides and cooked as desired.
4. Remove from pan; cover to keep warm
5. Add stock to pan; simmer, uncovered, until reduced by half. Stir in cream.
6. Serve steaks with sauce and chips. You can also steam some fresh vegetables like french beans and carrots like what I did.
**
See....not difficult right?
**
Just a note, I will suggest that you at least slice a few lines across your steaks. It cooks faster.
**
Have fun!!!!

Wow.. looks yummy.. this I gotta try to!!! You wanna come give me tuition?? ;p
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty yummy but you'll need to watch the salt when you mix with the peppercorn. Too much salt will make the steak salty...
ReplyDeleteYou won't need any tuition from me....you'll do just fine...I've seen your cooking rendezvous and they look just fine.....
