Creamy Steak

Creamy Steak

This is it, my first post on my blog. How do I start?! What recipe am I gonna share first?! Hmmm…… After a lot of pondering and contemplating, I decided that it had to be something really special. I think all my recipes are special but this had to be somewhat ‘specialer’! I know that’s not a word but you know what I mean. Basically, I needed to pick my first posted recipe very carefully.

So, here it goes… The first recipe I decide to post is ‘Creamy Steak’. Who doesn’t like steak?! To start my veggies are out on the cutting board ready to be chopped and my steaks are resting ready for some spicing up…

My vegetables are ready and I spiced my steaks so I’m gonna turn the heat on and start cooking…

When all steaks are cooked place them in your baking dish.

Spoon the cooked veggies over the meat.

Now, make the sauce. We start by making a roux, and then add the stock and cream.

When the sauce is ready, pour it over the veggies and sprinkle with cheese. Cover your dish tightly with foil and place in your pre-heated oven to bake.

Here’s the recipe:
