Pretty much the same put all your ingredients in and cook it up in the oven. I recommend putting potatoes in the curry though while it's cooking.
You know when you make such a nice dinner but you don't take a picture of it cause you forget and just wanna chow down?
Anyway, last week I made some damn fine steaks.
Striplion Steaks for however many you are making for.
Olive Oil
Tomato Puree
Garlic Puree
Pepper
Salt
Pour olive oil into a container with the puree's and salt and pepper to your own contented level. mix it all up. Put steaks in mix and cover in Cling Film/Saran Wrap and leave in fridge for a day or two. This helps make the steaks nice and soft and marinades them.
Potatoes
Get some big ass russet potatoes, clean em and leave the skin on. Cut into 6's or 8's, depending on the size, lengthways. Parboil them, 10 minutes, careful not to over do it as they will fall apart quick enough. Place on baking tray with olive oil drizzled over them, and some cajun or chilli powder for added flavour if you wish. You could also put some butter on in place of the olive oil to give them a more buttery taste. Cut up some carrots, nice and small and scatter over the potatoes to cook with them. place in an oven, 30-45 mins depending on parboil time, to crisp them up, at 200 celcius, 390 F to you wacky Americans.
Take your steaks out and sear them on a hot nonstick pan, each side about 3-5 minutes. Don't add oil to the pan, there will be plenty in the steaks.
Cut up an nice bell pepper into large chunks and place on a baking tray covered in tin foil then place the steaks on the peppers and place into the oven for about 10 to 15 mins with a knob of butter on each steak. Plate it up.
If done right you should have some nice and long crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside long chips, a tasty steak and big roasted pepper pieces. A fine dining experience of a professional kitchen in your home.

A fine dining experience of a professional kitchen in your home. Sounds really good, awesome even. I will try this with tendor loin or something of the like, but not steak... I'm a steak purist, I don't marinade my steak. If I want steak, I go to the butcher (the day I will eat them), and get them custom cut. I let them sit out for 3 minutes to get to room temp-ish before cooking. I then season them on both sides with sea salt and fresh crushed black pepper. Next, on to the high temp, highly preheated cast iron BBQ grill that I have oiled just before hand, at a 45 degree angle. After 1.5 to 2 minutes I rotate them 90 degrees for nice cross markings. 1 to 2 minutes later, I flip them and repeat. The catch this time, butter the top. Done, and nice rare to med rare 14 to 16 oz butter brushed, beautiful steak. I won't do them any other way... again, only because I'm a purest, or crazy, or anal, or ... just me  Dunno what to do tonight. Maybe I'll have Lisa cook for a change cause I can't think of anything other than potato wedges with curry sauce. Potato wedges and curry! Sounds good to me! I love curry and potatoes. Heck, I love curry and anything! PS - You've got potatoes in both posts, what are you, Irish?  hehe |

You see how we had a famine? All our recipes have potatoes in them. So then this potato blight comes along and we're all "Shite how are we gonna make the dinner now?"

Gah Cider is nasty. Sorry. Just to me it is. Keep thinking I'll puke if I drink it. Funny thing is I love warm Apple pie or just raw apples in general. But cider, nope.

Heineken is to expensive over here for me. I think its like 10-12 a six pack . I usually get a four pack of ommegang for the same,its Better tasting and has higher alcohol percent. I figure if I'm going to get pricy beer it better be worth it . Heineken is not lol.
also mackenzies hard cider is really good .

No idea. I just buy in the pub and point at the closest tap. Tends to be Heineken and that stuff is cheap where I go. After 2 pints I switch to rum.

It's that time of year. Pumpkin ales and Oktoberfest (yes, with a K, lol)beers. Be warned, there are some gawd awful pumpkin beers out there, but the good ones are amazing! 2 of my favorite are Nightmare on Mill St. (Mill St brewery), and Highballer Pumpkin Ale (Grand River Brewing). Pumpkin pie spice lends itself really well to malts and hops as they are all very earthy and aromatic.
If you can find some, try some Oktoberfest beers (Actually called Oktoberfest beer, not just beer served at Oktoberfest).

i have had some pretty bad pumpkin beers . So far UFO pumpkin and southern tier pumking. Left hand Brewer makes a great Oktoberfest, its a very light ale but is packed with flavor.
