More Than One Easy Steak Recipe

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.

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!
