Steak Night

I over cooked the steaks on this one. I got them from the butchers on Hesketh Drive. Last time I got steak from there it was perfect. It was also a little bigger which is why perhaps my timing was off. Alex did the suateed potatoes and I steamed the veg. It was his trial run at cooking them before cooking them for his girlfriend on valentines.

Steak

New potatoes preferably. If not normal size diced into 3s or 4s

Veg - I used carrots and Broccoli

Wash potatoes. If using new slice in half, if using larger ones slice into 3s or 4s depending on size. Part boil for 8 minutes then remove from the heat and allow to steam off for at least 5 mins.

heat some oil and butter in a pan, add the potatoes and reduce the heat. If frying they will take 10 to 15 mins and you will need to keep adding additional oil and butter. If using a lidded pan your looking at half an hour and you will still need to add additional oil/butter, only in lesser amounts.

Steam Veg 15 mins from end.

Steak - cook to your liking. For medium I usually do 2 minutes one one side, and turn over and immeditely turn the heat off and allow to cook through. Cover the pan with tin foil and leave to rest for a few minutes.

Serve
