Beef Casserole
Strangely, on Saturday Kitchen yesterday morning, they cooked some Thai food (a Phad Thai with approximately a thousand scallops… mmmmm!) and also beef casserole. This fitted in rather well with our plans for the weekend, as we had been planning Thai food last night and beef casserole today. Spooky really. Anyway, we took it as […]
Read More..>>Spaghetti with Meatballs
I was out tonight and when I got home, Kerri had cooked meatballs and spaghetti. We’ve had these once or twice before. Kerri didn’t like them this time, but I didn’t think they were too bad; needed a bit more seasoning and depth of flavour perhaps. Funny how you can try the same recipe more […]
Read More..>>Lemongrass Beef Stirfry
We’ve been rather fond of grilled marinated lemongrass beef in the past and today we decided to try including marinated lemongrass beef in a stir fry and we were pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. We mashed up two thirds of a stalk of lemongrass in the mortar and pestle with a clove of […]
Read More..>>Rib of Beef
We’ve been trying to think of things to go with horseradish since we bought a huge root of the stuff last weekend. Stephen seems to only be able to think of beef and specifically rib of beef when we have the “what goes with horseradish” conversation so, today, that’s what he had. We seared it […]
Read More..>>Hamburger
Last night we had a quick supper of hamburgers which we ate while the rubgy was on. Minced beef, grated onion, salt and pepper with a splash of red wine. Served with lettuce, cheese and tomato. Super quick and yummy. G
Read More..>>Steak and Chips
I’ve been going on about steak for a while. So when I started a new job on Monday, Kerri decided to buy some steak as a “happy new job” present. We had it tonight with chips (Marks & Spencer ready-made oven chips which were pretty good) and green beans and some cherry tomatoes roasted with […]
Read More..>>Beef and Water Chestnut Stir Fry
Kerri wanted to cook water chestnuts tonight and we didn’t have any and Waitrose didn’t have any when she went shopping there. So I volunteered to get some on the way home. I visited about 10 shops on the way home and only found them in the last one. I hadn’t thought they’d be that […]
Read More..>>Barbecue!!!!
So finally it’s a) the weekend, b) we don’t have any prior social engagements and c) it’s hot….leaving only one thing to do….BARBECUE!!! We started with corn. Stephen bought these last week with the sleeping bags husks still intact, despite the fact that he maintains he prefers them to be cooked without. I gently prised […]
Read More..>>Thai Skewers
A few days ago, we planned to have Thai lemongrass beef skewers tonight and hadn’t planned much else. Today we decided to have chicken satay as well, to follow the skewer theme. We managed to plan all of this without so much as a thought to anything non-meat related and this lack of thought continued […]
Read More..>>Beef Stirfry
We had a fair amount of beef left over from our roast yesterday, so we decided to make it into a stir fry. Nothing too fancy – just a made up, pseudo-Thai recipe using thinly sliced beef, red pepper, carrot, baby corn and broccoli to which we added chilli, lemongrass, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce […]
