Answer 1

Steak Sandwich

1 large strip, round, or shell sirloin steak, weighing between 12 ounces and 1 pound

1/2 t. coarsely ground black pepper

Salt to taste

2-3 T. oil

2 T. chopped onion

4 oz. crimini mushrooms, cleaned and chopped

1/2 t. thyme

1 loaf French or Italian bread, or 1 Vienna loaf

3-4 T. prepared mustard

Trim any excess fat from the steak. Sprinkle both sides with pepper and salt, then brush with a tablespoon of the oil. Heat a cast-iron or nonstick pan and sear the steak about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan. Cook the onion for 2 minutes in the remaining oil, then add the chopped mushrooms, sprinkling them with the thyme and a little salt. Cook, stirring, until they have softened. If the mixture dries out, add a tablespoon or so of water.

Cut a large piece of bread about 1 inch longer than the steak. (If you're using a Vienna loaf, you may not need to cut it at all.) Slice it lengthwise through the middle, leaving an uncut edge as a hinge. Spread both cut sides of the bread liberally with mustard. Now place the steak on the bottom half and scatter the mushroom mixture on top. Fold the top half of the bread down. Wrap the sandwich in two layers of plastic wrap. Take a long piece of string and tie the sandwich up tightly as if it were a parcel, knotting the string in several places. Put the sandwich on a plate and place another plate on top of it. Now weight it down with either cans of food or a bowl filled with water. Leave it for 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator or other cold place. When you rescue it from the weights, it will be firm and flat. For serving, unwrap it and slice it on the diagonal so you have several strips, each about 3/4 to 1 inch wide. Arrange these on a platter with a bowl of relish or chutney to accompany them

Get one of those Tesco Finest Range Lasagne's, some salad ingredients, a garlic bread and a nice bottle of wine. Enjoy it Al Fresco if you can, in the last bit of sunshine we are having!

Answer 4

hello,
How about something to eat in about 20 minutes?
Make a pot of rice
Some chicken breasts(skinless & boneless) cut into 1 inch cubes

While starting a pot of rice...

cook chicken in a medium pot till white and light pink inside. Add a bit of water just to cook and not stick. Add a can of cream of (what you like: me i use cream of chicken) then add milk: about a 1/4 to 1/2 cup SLOWLY until consistence you like. "Milk is better cause the soup won't be watery like with water".

Place rice on plate or in a bowl and top with chicken.

To Da! 20 minutes and you are eating.

Best of luck
God bless

Answer 5

Stir-fry because you start with all fresh stuff, whatever meat/seafood and veggies you've got lying about, or one quick trip to the market.

Then serve over ramen, rice noodles or rice.

The only thing you need to season with is soy sauce, a little cornstarch if you want to thicken the sauce, little garlic and/or ginger maybe...

Answer 6

CHICKEN MARSALA - In first frying pan, Cut boneless chicken into chunks or strips, coat with flour and cook in butter until all sides just start to brown, set aside. In second frying pan, melt butter and add fresh sliced mushrooms (lots) and cook until they just start to soften, add generous amount of Marsala wine and a couple of finely diced garlic cloves and cook for three minutes. Add chicken from first pan and cook until sauce thickens (flour from chicken will thicken sauce), Add a small spritz more Marsala wine ( to refresh Marsala wine flavor) and serve immediately.
