Thread: Bacon wrapped steak.

That steak looked great - I've tried another trick that works with any steak and makes a good sauce too but ya need both sherry and port -

Get the steak cooked to about 70% and add about half a cup sherry - get ready with a lighter and when she's warmed up after about 10secs light that sucker - flames will go up about a metre but hey that's life. As soon as the flames die down add about half a cup of port and slowly reduce the liquid down to a sauce(stirring all the time) - this process takes most of the time and you can always stick the steak in the oven on low on a warm plate for the last 5mins or so as I find that that works for flavour too.

There seems to be a tendency amongst hunters to look at any extra work on the cooking side as getting a bit fruity but I figure that once you've done the hard work of carrying the bastards out then going the extra mile in the taste department is a fair recompense.

Only a theory.

As for blue cheese, light blue like the Aorangi with Quince conserve on Vitawheat crackers (real thin suckers like those rice ones) is the absolute bomb - it's not cheap but it's bloody good
