Steak with Red Wine Sauce

Steak with Red Wine Sauce

OK this is certainly not within budget. But we’d been here for 2 years on Friday and that certainly deserved a little celebration.

Red Wine Sauce.

Ingredients:-

1 Small bottle (240ml) of Red Wine
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Shallots, finely chopped
1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 Sprig of fresh Rosemary
2 Sprigs of fresh Thyme
240ml Beef Stock
Parsley to garnish
A knob of Butter
Salt & Pepper
Oil

Method:-

(1) Gently fry the Shallots.
(2) Add the Garlic.
(3) Add the Wine, Balsamic Vinegar, Rosemary and Thyme and simmer to reduce for about 20 minutes.
(4) Add the Beef Stock allow to simmer for a further 10 to 15 minutes.
(5) Turn off the heat and whisk in the Butter.
(6) Season with Salt & Pepper to taste.

We had a rare Steak each, hand cut Chips, Peas and DIY Onion Rings. The sauce was really good and next time we’re treating ourselves we’ll be revisiting this.

Sage Yorkshire Pudding (Gluten Free)

These monster Yorkshire Puddings were actually the result of is slip of the hand and had far more milk than usual in them. We both expected them to fail, but they proved us wrong. We’ve experimented with fresh Rosemary and Sage in the batter mix, but Sage alone works really well and you end up with a flavour cross between Yorkshire Pudding and Stuffing - Which has to be good!

Ingredients:-

125g Cornflour
200ml Milk
3 eggs
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper
2 tsp of Dried Sage
Oil

Method:-

(1) Pre-heat the oven and a well oiled pudding tray to 200c.
(2) Mix all the ingredients and whisk vigorously.
(3) When the oil is smoking hot pour the batter into the tray and return to the oven ASAP.
(4) Leave well alone for 40 to 45 minutes until your Yorkshires are golden brown on the tops.

Yes you are right we had a Sunday roast on a Wednesday. But I’m afraid that just how it pans out here most of the time…..
