Chipolatas from the Butchers , and Mash potato with LOADS of butter . Still loving this comfort food , now the extension is 95% finished and we can cook at home
I’m gonna have 4 cans of Guinness for dinner. If I’m still hungry afterwards I’ve got an American Hot Pizza in the fridge.
Just got a Tesco finest sirloin steak. Needs must, was on way home from the match and there was **** all other choice, it's not very big. Will make a pepper sauce and some fries and post pics when it's plated! (Mrs is out & kids have eaten, hence me cooking for one)
Make a beef stock and add a table spoon full of green pepper corns to soak. A stock cube will do to make the stock. Cook your seasoned steaks in a knob of butter. Take them out to rest, add a splash of olive oil (to the pan) and heat. Add finely diced shallot or red onion and soften. When softened, add very big splash of brandy and turn up the heat. Flambe the shallot till a 'jammy' consistency. Then add beef stock with green pepper corns and reduce on a high heat. When reduced, add a glug of cream (or two) and bring to simmer slowly. Add ground black pepper to taste and when at The right consistency, add the juices from the rested steaks. Serve. That's it.
