A Perfect and easy romantic meal every time.


I’ve done this meal twice now, and each time I have been very impressed, with the result and the simplicity.

Steak with Sautee Potatoes and Asparagus and mushrooms.

Turn on the Oven at around 200 Degrees.
First off, peel and chop up (not too small, about 2” square) some Red Skinned Potatoes.
Boil with Salt for about 10 mins or until you can easily pierce a potato chunk with a sharp knife and it will slide off.
Now put the Asparagus in a small baking tray with a good dollop of Butter and place it in the pre-heated oven.
Then heat a frying pan with 2 table spoons of Olive Oil and some butter. Once the butter has melted and you add the steaks. Frying them on both sides till they are a nice brown, not a pale brown, but darkish. Normally around 5 mins.
Then place them in a baking tray in the oven. For Medium Steaks, leave them for 11 minutes.
Now fry your boiled potatoes in the Frying pan with 2 table spoons of Olive Oil and some butter, till they are mostly brown all over, which is normally around 10 mins.
In a second frying pan; chop and fry your mushrooms in the frying pan with 2 table spoons of Olive Oil and some butter.
When the steaks are ready, everything else should be, just place on a plate and eat. The last time I did it I also got a Jar of ready made Béarnaise sauce that just need a min in the Microwave.

Which was excellent.
