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.

Roastday – The new name for Wednesday here

There is a reason why we seem to have a roast on Wednesdays. We often receive veg on Fridays which is a little past its best and would otherwise be composted. By Wednesday we therefore have a collection of bendy Carrots and maybe Parsnips in the fridge. Well that’s our excuse, anyway…

As ever Sue Gluten free Sage and Onion Stuffing Balls were the star of the show.

Ingredients (This time):-

Onions, roughly chopped
Fresh Sage, chopped

Method:-

(1) Lightly fry the Onions until they are translucent and set aside to cool.
(2) When cool enough to handle mix all the ingredients and form into balls.
(3) When your roast is 20 minutes from being ready pop the Stuffing Balls in the oven on a tray.
