For valentines day I would normally have gone more out and tried to do a starter etc but with the bugs and hospital visits this week we just wern't particularly feeling the mood! So decided to go with a date night favourite which I probably would have ordered if miracles had happened and He'd actually thought to book a restaurant...ah well there's always next year...maybe...if the food poisoning hasn't done him in....
Ingredients:
* 2x Asda rump steaks with peppercorn butter
* Asda Blue cheese steak sauce (which is wheat free)
* Oven Chips
* Cajun spice
* Steakhouse spice
* Rocket
* Olive oil
* Portebello mushrooms
* Butter
Method:
1. Place chips on a baking tray and sprinkle with cajun spice, place in oven from 20 mins at 220oC
2. Drizzle a little olive oil in a griddle pan and place the mushrooms on when heated, place on of butter in each mushroom and then turn over when browning. When browned on both sides place on a baking tray in the oven with the chips.
3.Sprinkle steaks with steakhouse spice, place on griddle pan and turn heat down. I did 2 1/2 mins on first side, turned over and then 3 minutes on the other. For the last 30 seconds add the peppercorn butter. After cooking take the pan off the heat but leave the steaks to rest in the juices for 5 minutes so nice and juicy.
4. Drizzle rocket with olive oil and lemon juice, add mushrooms, chips and steak to plate and heat the blue cheese sauce according to packet instructions.
Review:
It tasted great but then I love steak! It was nice and juicy and the blue cheese sauce was just heaven. I think 1 mushroom would have been enough and maybe a bit of garlic in the butter would have added to them more. Also a mozzarella and tomato salad would have gone nicely with the rocket.
