Finally Friday
So it's finally Friday! It has been a good week with university work mixed with working at my school. Now I have a nice Saturday and Sunday to look forward to, and hopefully give this blog a little life!
To celebrate the weekend I start with sharing my very first recipe on this blog! (shh, it's not really "mine" as it was my fiancé who cooked this).
Entrecôte for two:
- 2 pieces of entrecôte (200 grams each)
- ½ a white onion
- 100 grams of fresh mushrooms
- 2 medium sized potatoes
- 1 glass of red wine
- ½ deciliter of cooking cream
- balsamic vinegar
- thyme
- Vegetables of your choice
Dice the potatoes into little pieces and boil them to almost ready, take them off the stove. Fry the mushrooms and chopped onion with a little dash of olive oil. Take it off the frying pan and put on a plate. Now sautée the potatoes with a little olive oil, not too much. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme. Plate. Fry the pieces of entrecôte until they are the way you prefer them, take them off and let them rest on the plate. Now pour some wine into the hot frying pan to draw the flavour from the meat out (or a small amount of good quality stock), add cream. Let it simmer together for a short while, add salt and pepper, thyme, maybe a dash of balsamic vinegar. Add the mushrooms. Pour over the steak. Serve with a fresh salad.
Despite most of this dish being cooked in the frying pan, the fat use is kept at minimum, and having only 1 potato as a carb source is enough. Fill yourself up with a fresh salad, the meat with keep you full for long.
Enjoy!
