Anyone wanna Beef Steak and Lamb Chop?

Burppp....Alhamdulillah. Just ate home made beef steak & lamb chop with mushroom black pepper and vegetables. It was all started when I chatted with Pidah on YM. She was fasting today (3 days puasa sunat hari Asyura/10 muharram) and craved for Beef Steak. I googled for beef steak images and sent to her just to make her air liur meleleh (naughty me...!). I got punished right away coz suddenly I was the one yang meleleh to the extend that I volunteer myself to cook for her and for me la jugak. Anyway thanks to my cousin Pidah who provide the supplies. We made a quick shopping at Jusco Maluri...it took us only an hour to buy groceries. Check out the parking ticket pix below. We entered Jusco at 16:44pm and paid the ticket exactly 1 hour later at 17:44pm. Cool eh?


So here's the meal prepared. I noticed that batik table cloth and transparent plates made my pictures dull and bland. So I'm waiting for Pidah to update her blog with the pictures taken on blue table cloth.

The Meats - Beef Steak (Left) and Lamb Chops (right)



There were 2 versions of beefs here. We bought 3 pieces of marinated beef and another 3 pieces which I marinated myself. Here's the recipe for the sauce used to marinate the beef:

1) Blend : Black Pepper and Smoke garlic (with skin on)
2) Mixed together : HP BBQ Sauce, Knorr BBQ Sauce (Spicy) and honey with the blended pepper and garlic. Add dried mixed herbs (and fresh rosemary if you have it in your fridge).
3) Rub the mixture on meats. Put in plastic wrapper, seal it and marinate until you are ready to cook.


Mashed Potato and Vegetables with Garlic Cream Dip



How to make mashed potato :

1) Peel potatoes and boil until tender. Tossed the potatoes.
2) Mash the potatoes with fresh milk and a pinch of salt. You can add butter if you like but I like the fresh aroma of potatoes.

For the vegetables, Pidah and I had chosen baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, Asparagus, straw mushrooms and sweet peas. I only simmer these vegs lightly (except for cherry tomatoes-eat it raw). To compliment these vegs I made a simple dip. Here's the recipe :

1) Finely chop or blender few cloves of garlics.
2) Mix mayonaise with fresh milk. Stir until mayo and milk blend together.
3) Add garlic and mixed herbs. Stir and serve.

Complete Meal on a plate

Aiyo, the second picture with sauce covering the meat is blur la. By the way that long brown thingy on the center of that plate is mushroom sausage.



I forgot to take picture of my mushroom & black pepper sauce but here's the recipe anyway:

1) Slice canned button mushrooms.
2) Blend black pepper.
3) Mix Potato starch (you can also use corn flour instead of potato starch) with water (or stock).
4) Mix together mushroom, black pepper, HP BBQ sauce, Knorr hot & spicy BBQ sauce, honey and dark soy sauce in a sauce pan.
5) Bring the pan to heat. Add the mixture of potato starch. Keep stiring until boiled/cooked.
6) Turn off heat and serve hot.


Complete Meal in a Container

Ready for take-away! These were some of the left over. Still plenty considering Pidah only managed a single piece of beef steak and sausage. She don't eat lamb chop...maybe because she was born in the year of Sheep/goat so she avoid eating them...mbeeeekkkk ahakssss....


Oh ya! This is a picture of my dad's plate. Since he is having toothache, I made him coleslaw coz he might not be able to eat those hard vege I prepared earlier. Then he wanted french fries over mashed potatoes so I fried some for him. Surprisingly he had no problem eating those chewy lamb chop. Well what can I say, lamb is his favourite...come toothache or headache or fever, he still can eat lamb.
