Steak Fajitas
We’ve had some good successes with chicken fajitas before, but our previous attempt at steak fajitas didn’t turn out that well. So we decided to try again and attempt to get it right. And, after all the meat-free dinners we’ve had recently (we decided that fish doesn’t count as meat), we needed some steak. Kerri […]
Read More..>>Beef in Mirin and Soy
Yesterday heralded the start of our new year healthy eating plan. In honour of the occasion I spent some time on Sunday going through our recipe files looking for low-fat dishes that looked exciting. I find it helps to be organised about what you’re eating so those mid-afternoon lows aren’t too difficult to get over, […]
Read More..>>Beef and Stout Casserole
Neither Stephen nor I were at work yesterday so we took the opportunity to cook something slow. We chose a beef dish from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Meat book which used stewing beef and Guinness. Recipe below serves 8-10 which we obviously scaled back. 1.5kg stewing beef 250g bacon 50g butter 500g onions 50g seasoned flour 1 […]

The start of a new year inevitably means a new healthy eating plan, particularly after the indulgence of Christmas. I spent most of today wondering what to cook for dinner this evening but nothing seemed particularly inspiring. It wasn’t helped by the fact that it was absolutely freezing and the heating at work seemed to […]
Read More..>>Spaghetti Bolognaise
Wow, it’s been almost a week since we last posted. Combination of lots of things happening this week and eating boring things. Last night, I cooked spaghetti bolognaise as it was cold and we both felt like something hearty. Served with some interestingly shaped spaghetti I found in the deli. Nothing new or exciting about […]
Read More..>>Steak with Mushrooms and Onions
Last night, after a long week, we cooked steak with mushrooms and onions. The steak was a rather large rump steak from our local butcher that we pan fried and shared between the two of us. The mushrooms were a combination of some ordinary chestnut mushrooms and a selection of wild mushrooms, also fried with […]
Read More..>>Stir Fried Beef and Basil
We haven’t posted for a few days as we were away over the weekend. When we got back, cooked roast beef but didn’t end up taking a picture of it because we were rather hungry and just started eating. Luckily we managed to restrain ourselves enough to leave some beef for a stir fry today. […]
Read More..>>Beef, Chilli and Basil Stir Fry
Back on Tuesday last week, we cooked Beef, Chilli and Basil Stir Fry. We ended up being really busy and/or disorganised for the next few days so never got around to posting about it. Until now. When we’d tried stir frying with basil before, we used sweet basil (i.e. the usual European variety). Having been […]
Read More..>>Liver and Bacon
For a while we’ve been wondering if there was anything particularly Halloweeny that we could cook tonight. Eventually, we gave up and decided to have liver and bacon. Kerri picked up some calve’s liver from the butcher as well as some rather nice bacon. We fried the bacon first, then cooked the liver in the […]
Read More..>>Beef Casserole – take two
I can be pretty fickle when it comes to food – quite often I find something I love and I want to eat it all the time, other times I might think something is brilliant but eat it once and then not want to eat it again. Tonight was one of those nights. There was […]
