Steak!

Kerri was out tonight, so I selfishly treated myself to some steak. Actually, I’d been to gym on the way home and was really very hungry when I went shopping for dinner afterwards. So steak and mustard mash it was. There was also tenderstem broccoli, but that didn’t make it into the picture.

The blob sitting on top of the steak is anchovy and parsely butter. Kerri had suggested it to me when I’d called her to tell her I was having steak for dinner and it sounded like a good idea. I didn’t follow a recipe, just bashed up four anchovies and about 25g of butter or a bit more in the mortar and pestle before adding a grind of pepper and some chopped parsely. The result was good but a bit salty – either I should have washed the anchovies before using them or used fewer of them.
