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.

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

We had a pack of Portobello Mushrooms which were coming to the end of there life. So this was Sue’s take on stuffed Mushrooms.

Ingredients:-

2 Mushrooms per person
Mozzarella Cheese, cubed
2 Spring Onions, finely chopped
1 Shallot, Sliced
2 Cloves of Garlic, grated
Grated Italian style Cheese
Mixed Herbs
Margarine

Method:-

(1) Remove the stem from the Mushrooms and use a spoon to scrap out the gills.
(2) Sauté the Shallot, Garlic and Mushroom stems etc. in Margarine into softened.
(3) Place back in the cups.
(4) Sprinkle with the Spring Onions.
(5) Spread the Mozzarella over.
(6) Place in a foil lined tray and pop in the oven for 15 minutes.
(7) Sprinkle with Herbs and Italian style Cheese and place under the grill for a further 5 minutes.

We served these as a side with Allspice seasoned Pork ribs and a little home made Potato salad. For what looks like a very lite meal this was surprisingly filling.
