Mini-steak

I wonder why I did not explore the mysteries of steak earlier. This turned out far more tasty than I expected. This may have also been because I put the beef in this improvised/made-up marinade for a few hours longer than I expected to have it marinade because Mr P was packing in the house like crazy so cooking was delayed but in the end these were very easy to prepare and the results were unbelievably tasty.

Perfect Steak Marinade

2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp of butter, melted
thyme or italian herbs

1. Marinade for as long as you can possibly bear (1-3 hours)
2. Fry in a skillet with butter for 10 minutes or less for medium rare steak. Timing depends on thickness and requires some estimation. As a general rule, do not exceed 10 minutes.

As for the sides...

Boiled Potatoes

1. Skin the potatoes and cut them into large chunks.
2. Throw them into a big pot of water with a pinch of salt. Boil for approx 20 min.
3. Heat a small sauceboat of butter. Pour butter over potatoes as required.

Caramelised Onions

1. Cut up onions.
2. Fry in pan at moderate heat. Add cracked pepper and a pinch of sugar. If feeling fancy, make a red wine reduction along with the remnants of the sauce produced after pan frying the beef.
