More Than One Easy Steak Recipe

Tuesday, November 9, 2010

I think, if you are like me, you are always on the lookout for an easy steak recipe to treat your family and friends on. Everyone loves steak, but many of us fear preparing it. The best way of getting around your fear is making a recipe that includes a sauce or a marinade. By doing this you ensure that the steak will not turn out dry. That is why I always choose one of these recipes as the easy steak recipe to prepare when I'm entertaining.

Different from the usual way, two recipes are sliced very thin. This makes for very quick cooking and the sauce ensures that it is not dry. Do not over cook the steaks. I hope you will enjoy these recipes.

The fillet steak rosemary is really a very easy steak recipe, it is quick and easy to prepare and never dry and tasteless.

Fillet Steak Rosemary

Ingredients:

Fillet steak (well chilled)
½ tsp rosemary
2 ½ tsp Worcester sauce
3 tsp brandy
4 Tsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
½ tsp dried mustard
1 cup sliced mushrooms


Slice the steak into thin slices.
Fry the steak in the butter and rosemary - 3 minutes on each side.
Remove the steak and place it in a warm dish.
Add all the ingredients for the sauce to the butter in a pan and bring to a boil.
Pour the sauce over the steak and serve it hot with rice and a green salad.

Marinate overnight, one pound fillet or rump steak - very thinly sliced in the following marinade:

Method:

Fry the meat when ready, very quickly in a little hot butter.

Gravy:


Cook the remainder of the marinade, 1 tsp sugar, 1 ½ tsp cornflour, ¾ cup water and 1 Tsp soy sauce in the pan after you have fried the steak.
Serve with green peas, fresh cooked carrots and rice.

This monkey gland steak recipe may present a little bit of a problem. It uses chutney, a sauce very well know in South Africa where I stay. It is a kind of curry, fruity sauce. I suggest you cook a little chopped up dry fruit and add a little sweet chili sauce and a hint of curry powder. The fruity taste is what is important here. Try it, you may very well love it. Of course, if you can get hold of chutney it will be best. I believe there are specialty shops you will be able to get it at. It will be well worth the trouble!

Salt, pepper and paprika to taste
6 Tsp mild chutney (if unavailable, use sweet chili sauce and add some cooked raisins and other chopped up dried fruit)
6 Tsp Worcester sauce
3 Tsp brown sugar
1 small tin strained button mushrooms


Cut and season the steak.
Mix the remainder of the ingredients together and place the steak in this marinade for at least 3 hours.
Grill the steak and keep warm.
Pour the marinade into the pan and cook well, then pour over the steak.
Serve with mashed potatoes and green peas.

I am sure that now you will always have an easy steak recipe that you can use.
