The youngest in our family (Andrea's granddaughter) is starting to get very Kitchen Keen (and savvy, I tell you!). She is "Chef Angel", and she'll be taking over the Cooking For/By Teens section :-)
Made this tonight with pan-friend rump (rare, of course), baked potatoes, and roasted veg. It went down a treat, even with the kids!
1 cup beef stock
About 3 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
A dash of Soy Sauce
About half a can of chopped tomatoes
Once the steak is fried and out of the pan, add the stock, balsamic and soy to the pan. Mix it up a little, especially loosening any delicious brown bits. Add the tomatoes, let it boil for a minute then turn down to medium heat. Leave it to reduce for about 8 minutes, then serve as a side sauce.
Deliciously easy! Bomb all the ingredients together, cook, strain, serve!
For those of you who don't know what sriracha is (I didn't), it's a Thai hot sauce, which can be easily substituted with your own favourite hot sauce.
Mirin is a type of rice wine, similar to sake. "Mirin is used to add a bright touch to grilled fish or to erase the fishy smell. A small amount is often used instead of sugar and soy sauce."
"Genetically, mushrooms are more closely related to animals than plants". Interesting mushroom facts and photos.
Store leftovers and so on in transparent containers in the fridge, whether glass or plastic. Especially in a family of 4 or more, it's easier for everyone to see what there is to snack on or cook with at a glance.
This style of rice is particularly good as a side for a chicken dish which is not too spicy.www.the-foodlist.com
Just saw a slideshow on grilled cheese sandwich variations (here if you want to take a look). It reminded me of a "casual" night we had at home not so long ago, with a steak roll variation, and here it is...
We fried rib eye steak rare then sliced it up and placed it on a platter on the hot tray. It stayed warm and wallowed in its delicious juices. Then we fried thinly sliced onions on a medium heat in butter, until they were soft and brown, not flash-fried but not quite caramelized. These were also kept warm on the hot tray until we were ready to serve. We had beautifully fresh and soft hot dog rolls and an array of bottled sauces, but the winner of the day was a garlic mayonnaise from Woolies.
Easy, quick, not too unhealthy, and delicious!
Potatoes are one of my all time favourites! I love the citrus twist in this recipe.
