can anyone suggest a simple recipe that makes steak more interesting?

Answer 1

Steak and Potato Mounds
Simple and very tasty - and it's all about the presentation.

Ingredients
2 thick pieces of steak, around 200g each
2 medium potatoes
2 large open mushrooms
1 tomato
2 tbs sour cream
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp crushed horseradish
1 tsp crushed ginger
salt and pepper


Directions
Peel and dice the potatoes and boil until soft but still firm. Sear the steaks in a hot fry pan then reduce to medium heat until they are cooked to the required level (rare etc). Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and fry them gently in water until tender. Make a sauce by combining 1 tbs of sour cream with the ginger and horseradish and some of the juice from the steaks. Drain the potatoes and roughly mash them so they stay fairly lumpy and mix with the remaining sour cream, garlic and some salt and pepper. On each of 2 serving plates, make a bed from the mashed potato the same shape as the steaks. Place one mushroom on each potato bed and a piece of steak on top. Pepper the steak quite strongy then cover with sliced tomato. Finally use a teaspoon to coat the top with the sauce allowing it to dribble down the sides.

Answer 2

Use McCormick's tenderizer (the orange kind, not the white). Sprinkle it on both sides of the steaks and let it sit and soak in while the grill is almost hot (about 10 to 15 minutes). Use garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste right before you grill. It will be the most tender, juicy steak you have ever had!! My husband is a chef and everybody LOVES it.
