My favourite steak sauce - when the steak is cooked take it out of pan (meat should be left for a few minutes so juices settle into meat or something). Meanwhile add a glob of butter to pan.. Add a dash of red wine or sherry or port or brandy *insert alcohol of choice here!*. 100 ml of stock (beef cubes are fine) to follow along with half a teaspoon of dijon mustard and generous shake of paprika. Add dash of cream, pour over steak and serve. Totally lovely. And one of the only things I can cook. :) -----Original Message----- From: Rev Simon Rumble [mailto:simon@xxxxxx.xxx] Sent: 23 August 2005 15:47 To: london.food@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx Subject: Re: [london.food] Steak Cooking On 23/8/2005, "Nigel Rantor" <wiggly@xxxxxx.xxx> wrote: >I'm thinking of something like a sinple steak salad, some green leaves >with perhaps some tomatoes and cucumber as a nice fresh bed with a >decently cooked steak sliced up on top of it and dressed in something >simple... > >I still need some anecdotes for the cooking of the meaty-meat >though...I have a griddle pan that has served me well in the past, so >I'm looking for tips on what to buy and how to cook. Brush the griddle pan with some oil. Wipe the steak dry with kitchen towel. Heat the griddle pan until the oil smokes. Throw the steak on (one at a time, for best heat) and cook for about three minutes. Turn and cook three minutes more. Take the steak off and rest for five minutes. Serve. That's it. The main thing is the quality of your steak. One of my favourite steak recipes is with a mustard cream sauce. Cook your steak in a frypan as above. When done, lower the heat right down and deglaze with a tablespoon of white wine. Add a tablespoon of wholegrain mustard and a couple of tablespoons of single cream. Stir and reduce until it's a sauce consistency. Pour over the steak. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
