Fillet Steak

I'd do a Stroganoff

Olive oil
Onions
Mushrooms
Salt and pepper
Beef
Paprika
Sour cream

Fry sliced onions in oil, add the beef (cut into strips) and sliced mushrooms.
season and add a couple of teaspoons of paprika.

Once cooked add 250-300ml of sour cream, stir in and cook for a minute or two.

Eat with matchstick chips or rice.

He's right. another good time to cook steak is when its a full moon and the absolute best time is during a full solar eclipse.

Strange but true.

Cooking at a full moon isn't quite as effective as a spring tide, but I definately agree about the solar eclipse, although I have not tried it myself. The same logic would apply. I have to try that out *waits*.
 
chunky chips with the skin still on. By Chunky, I mean at least an inch thick.

and if you don't cook the steak by just showing it the flame, you'll commit sacrilege!

Serve with chips and the steak spooned over with this marinade sauce:

1 large shallot, chopped
150g small cherry tomatoes, halved, or 3 medium tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
3 tbsp tomato ketchup
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp grain mustard, optional
½ lemon, juice only
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
Small handful tarragon leaves, finely chopped

Simply mix everything together. This can be done the day before, then kept covered in the fridge until required. Remove the sauce from the fridge at least 30 mins before serving.

too much faffing about

do the steak with a fried tomato, and a potato rosti. serve with mustard and a glass of wine.

What, with fillet steak?!

God, if you've paid for the nice cut, it should be enjoyed!

I did steak for myself and the bloke a week or so ago.

What I did (take from this whatever you please):
* Leave two pieces of fillet steak to marinade in a mixture of olive oil, garlic puree, chopped chillis, mixed herbs, salt and pepper.
* Put a load of new potatoes on the boil, with a healthy dose of salt and a handful of fresh dill, pulled apart a bit before dropping in.
* Start to warm a griddle-/frying-pan for your steak, middle-heat.
* Chop up some salad - lettuce, red onions, mushrooms, tomatoes - mix up a dressing of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, a teaspoon of honey, salt & pepper. Add and toss.
* Add steak to pan, allow to heat through gently, turning often.
* After 5 mins or so whack up to full heat (or switch to a hotter pre-heated plate if your hob is slow to heat), and sear all sides including 'walls' of your fillets, if they're thick-cut. Don't do this for more than a couple of minutes or you'll have lost the delicious rareness!

* Finally, after draining spuds, adding them (incl. the dill) to plates along with steak and salad, I also mixed up a sauce of creme fraiche plus thai sweet chilli sauce. Mix it up until it's pleasantly pink and tasty, and serve alongside with a spoon in the tub :D


TASTEH!!
 
Do it in a skillet thingy (the pan with ridges in) and pop some sundried tomatoes in. Have it with asparagus and new potatoes (cracked black pepper, rocksalt, olive oil and parsley, hobviously)

Now I'm starving.

Ant :cool:
