Dinner party steak
You’ve got guests you want to impress. When they arrive, serve them a glass of wine, a bowl of crisps and some SPAR green olives (we fancy the olives stuffed with hot chilli paste). That’ll keep them happy while you cook. You don’t need us to tell you how to cook steak. Oil the steak not the pan, season well and pan fry on high heat. But you knew that, yes? Obviously, start off with an excellent piece of meat … we bought The SPAR Steak Co. fillet medallions, and cooked them rare (each to his own, but rare or medium rare really is the most delicious). Once you’ve taken the steak out of the pan, let it rest for 10 minutes. Turn down the heat and drop in a good knob of butter and a shake of Worstershire sauce or a tot of sherry into the pan, bubble away until reduced by half. Plate your steak, pour over the butter-sherry sauce, and then pile generously with wild rocket and shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve this with some oven-roasted tomatoes or potato wedges … delish!
Can’t cook, won’t cook. The SPAR Quick Cuisine range really is brilliant. We fancy this Meatballs Marinara … perfect for a quick dinner-for-one on a cold evening. Just add a glass of red wine and godere (that’s enjoy in Italian!).
