3 lovely ribeyes from SS - total cost $11 - simply marinated in salt, black pepper.
A shot before and during:
Don't be alarmed by the little pools of blood - just let the steak rest for a minute and two and they'll be ok for mediumish rare.
Served with panfried mangetout
And roasted potatoes
Do try this roast potato recipe using potatoes with the thin pale yellow skins. Cut them into even sizes - leave skins on, parboil and drain. Into a roasting tray, add some garlic, rosemary, salt & pepper. Add potatoes and coat them with the seasoning. Dust with breadcrumbs and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for half an hour or so, turn potatoes half way through, till the skins are brown and crunchy. Potatoes done this way turn incredibly sweet and mellow. Lovely.
I made a quick and easy pepper 5 minute sauce by deglazing the steak pan with some milk, and a teaspoon of Bisto (cheat!), and extra black pepper.
For less than $20, the 3 of us had a delicious, satisfying dinner. *mini rant ahead* - Far better than going to certain restaurants which serves extremely tasteless, tough, fibrous meat, frozen chips and mushy vegetables for approx $18 - $25 per portion. They never get the doneness correct, their sauces are just coloured gravy, and it's such a chore to complain, send food back, etc. I really don't mind paying for well cooked food using fresh ingredients, but for the reason above, I'd much rather eat at home. And when the menu says tenderloin, I expect tenderloin, not a piece of meat hacked from whichever area you may imagine the tenderloin to be located in the cow. I still value my teeth, Chefs.
