It’s well over 3 years since we had anything even resembling a Steak. But as we didn’t manage to eat anything on Thursday by combining two days budgets we sort of got away with a real threat.
How you cook your steak is a matter of personal choice. But if you fancy having a go at your own Peppercorn Sauce on the cheap….
Ingredients:-
Slightly cracked Peppercorns
Double Cream
Beef Stock
Shallots,Finely diced
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
Margarine
Chopped Parsley
Salt
Method:-
(1) Soften the Shallots and Garlic over a low heat in Margarine.
(2) Add the Beef Stock, simmer for about 15 minutes.
(3) Add the Peppercorns.
(4) Stir in the Cream until it thickens.
(5) Simmer for a further 10 minutes and season to taste.
(6) Add the chipped Parsley and serve.
I don't think we need ingredients and method etc. here. But sometimes you just fancy a really healthy lunch of strained lettuce soup. Thankfully we don't suffer from that affliction!
