Flambéed Pepper Steak with a Whiskey Cream Sauce
by Paul Rankin

oh rustie u beat me to it!!! lol... there are loads there and so many sauces to go with, ask him what kind of sauce he would like, my favorite is steak in peppercorn sauce!!!

Thats my favourite too snoozy.

Don't forget to ask him how he wants it cooked laura, that will make quite a difference to the finished dish. It could be anything from blue to very well done, so you need to make sure you know how he likes it cooked.

Good luck, hope it all goes well.

thanks for that folks i got the Flambéed Pepper Steak with a Whiskey Cream Sauce just not sure about the whiskey bit! haha and i have done my research mammachef-medium rare. could just pass thou and go with my surefire chicken carbonara-decisions decisions!

people will probably not like me for this but try a shop bought pepper sauce... We like it with strips of steak and onion cooked together, cook sauce in same pan and serve with rice. or you can use sauce poured over steak of chicken.. good luck

He eats steak and you don't? Not possible. A good lad must remain with a meat eater. You'll have problems in the future. Find a nice veggie guy. A nice guy who likes to graze like a rabbit. Carnivores and grass eaters will lead to problems. Don't think it's true? What about the kids one day? It's only a year lost. My advice is always true. Follow my advice, and you will never rue.

I eat meat just not steak its a red meat and i dont eat red meat-i lie-i eat mince beef but thats it. I love white meat thou-always eating the stuff!

O and we are going with chicken carbonara. he doesnt have a clue and has gone out to work a happy bunny

Well done you, laurasomerville, I think that cooking one thing for both of you rather than two seperate meals, on this occasion, is the best way to go.

But maybe in the future you could try a cream sauce, and put some on a steak for him, and some on a chicken breast for you?

thanks rustie i might give that a go.........now to be a pain is there anything to suit both you can suggest?

Do you mean a cream a cream sauce that would go with both steak and chicken?

yes or a basic plain sauce which can be divided and indivdual flavours added

could i suggest u make up a stock of carrot, leek,onion,celery,boil and then strain, reduce by half. u can then use this as a base for any sauce u like,be it a chicken , red meat or fish dish. you can add white wine and reduce then add cream. or red wine for red jus, or any booze,cheese, any flavours u like to suit.hope that helps.

Here is another idea.

I think I would start the chick off first on medium on one side, turn up the heat turn chick over and put steak in. 2-3 mins take chic out and keep warm. Finish off steak, put that to keep warm. Add some wine, red or white, to deglaze and reduce. Once reduced add chick back in with some mushrooms and cream and cook until sauce thickened. Add fresh herbs of choice.

oops - forgot to say coat both the steak and chicken breast with cracked black pepper first.

Thanks for all your yummy scrummy ideas might have to write them down for a weekend of pottering in my kitchen thanks again folks now to make the birthday cake

oooh Terry, that sounds yummy, so when u inviting me over for dinner!!! lol

Trouble is Kimi, I have a long standing arrangement with Rustie and Blondie and at my age.....

aww Tel, I thought you had forgotten us, I am really looking forward to it, and I am sure Rena too

Hi Rustie, I hadn't forgotten - just keeping quiet :-)

LOL, don't really blame you, I mean, Rena and I, together, both at once, I think we could be a bit of a handful for you, well anyone really, never mind their age!!!

:D

I was worried about the effect on me of one at a time, so two was just something to be very very quiet about, and of course I put my foot in it, again!!

I must start reading what I have typed before I hit send....

aww Terry don't worry we will be gentle with you, us southern girls know how to behave you know.

I have seen you being 'gentle' on some of your posts.......that is why I am worried.....
