Ok boys, this ones for you!
What man doesn't like a good steak? And what woman doesn't like a man to cook her dinner? Well, fellas, here's a really easy way to please your woman and satisfy your manly need for steak! :-) I like this recipe because the sauce has the vegetable in it, add two baked potatoes and you have a perfect dinner! Pas de probleme!
Steak Dinner for Two
- 2 large baking potatoes
- Two fillet (mignon) steaks, sized to your liking
- 1 punnet of mushrooms (chestnut if you can get them)
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 big glass red wine
- handful of fresh parsley, chopped
- sea salt and cracked pepper
- olive oil
First things first, season the steak. Rub olive oil on the steak and coat in a generous amount of cracked pepper and sprinkle with sea salt. Set aside while you wash and slice the mushrooms. Slice them to your preferred thickness.
Heat up a grill pan for the steaks, you want it as hot as possible, so leave it to heat up.
Heat a little olive oil in a saucepan and saute the mushrooms. This pan should also be pretty hot to get the water out of them. Once cooked, lower heat and toss in flour, stir through and then add the red wine. Stir to get out any lumps, lower heat right down and allow to simmer while you cook the steaks.
Toss the steaks on the grill pan and cook about two minutes a side for medium rare, adjust for different thickness and temperatures.
Plate the steaks and stir the parsley into the mushroom sauce. Pour over the steaks and serve with the potatoes on the side. Delicious and simple!
