We had here a wonderful Christmas Eve. The first part with Marion’s parents and later on with three of us.
Marion just went to bed. She was still tired of the travelling and the time difference. And Sanne also went to bed.
And I am still here pondering a bit about the evening. We had a great time. I really enjoyed it.
Anyway, I promised to tell about the dinner I prepared. Marion really loves a good steak. Soooo…..
The steak I did go for was a Evert Boar steak, which is in my opinion even more gentle as a normal steak. The steak itself did get nothing more as a bit of salt and pepper. The steaks were medium done. I know that is way Marion likes it and I prefer it that way as well.
A nice sauce based on flour, corn meal, a meat fond, garlic, paprika, curry, pepper, parsley and laurel. This sauce was enriched with all kind rough sliced mushrooms.
There were mashed potato mashed with small pieces of almond and hazelnut. Also a beef based hash was added. Do I normally like larger piece of beef in my hash. Now I did go for very small pieces.
As extra mushrooms filled with sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil and some herbs as dill.
I am happy dat Marion really liked it. And so did Sanne and I. But tomorrow Marion has to work in the kitchen as well 🙂
It is good to be home for the holidays again. I feel wonderful… and the steak was indeed just as I love it 🙂
