Recently hubby has been very stressed and working hard at work, so the celebrate the end of the week and to welcome our loooonnnngggg weekend (yes... we've taken a couple more days off just to chill out), I've decided to make him a nice dinner. Steak!!!! How can a man resist steak?!?!? And it's not just a normal steak, it's a wagyu steak!
Steak doesn't appear in my household very often, since I'm not a meaty meat person (but every now and then I don't mind it!) and therefore I don't have much skills or techniques in cooking THE perfect steak! =P
And I think because this is a wagyu steak and it has saved me from making a tough rock hard meat! Initially I wanted the steak to be medium rare or medium... but it turned out to be well done with no pinkness inside! Oopppsss... but I did know that I have to rest the steak for the muscle to relax, so that helped a bit!!!!
Although the steak turned out to be well done, but the meat was still very tender - not hard and tough at all!!!! Lucky me! And to accompany the steak, I made some horseradish cream and mustard butter... hahaha... how did this come about!?!? Well... initially it was suppose to be just the horseradish cream with garlic butter, but when I opened up the jar of horseradish cream, I only had a spoonful of it left in there, and after I mixed it up with the garlic butter, it really lacked that spice in the flavour and that tingle in the tongue, so I added some mustard in to fix it! haha... it worked!!!
On the side there, I made some roasted kipfler potato as well. I love kipfler potatoes!!! It has this sweetness in it that no other potatoes has. I chopped it up and added a bit of olive oil, sea salt, pepper and rosemary and roasted in the oven for 30 min at 200C. Yummmm....
Long weekend... here I come!!!
