Soldato
Hi all, ok here's what I made for tea last night, its a simple dish that tastes great if you follow a few simple rules.
step 1) Peel some spuds and an onion and slice as thinly as possible.
Step 2) get a deep baking tray and make a layer with the potato (overlap the slices like fish scales), throw in some onion, crushed garlic and grated cheddar cheese and season with salt + pepper.
Step 3) Continue doing the same layers until you reach the top of the oven dish, sprinkle the top with lots of cheese then take a large tub of double cream and pour all over until it reaches just below the top layer of potaoes. It should now look something like this.
Step 4) Place in medium (too hot and the cream will curdle) oven for around one hour, it should then look like this.
Now for the steak, ok make sure you have taken the steak out of the fridge a good hour before cooking (this helps to keep the lovely juices inside the steak when you cook it). Season both sides with cracked black pepper and a pinch of salt.
Please observe above pic, sat next to those awesome chunks of flesh is my wife's vegatarian lolsteaks
Ok now heat a pan up very hot and place the steaks in, flash each side and also the edges quickly on the heat to seal the steak.
I like mine medium so about 3/4 mins each side and they should look like this.
Ok all done, it takes about 15 minutes to make this meal once you have done all the work with the dauthinoise. Serve with two of your favorite vegatables.
There you have it, a great tasting dish that is simple to make
