A meaty weekend

We're not used to eating much meat anymore. We've gone through weeks where we realised we've only had meat once that week and it was chicken. We do still love a good steak. Which is what we had this weekend.

Steak & Pepper Sauce

Andre finished his, but felt a bit ill the next day. I only managed about a third of my piece pictures here. We used to be bigger meat eaters than this!

Andre always cooks the steak. But I am very particular about how I like my steak. I want it med-rare. I know how long it needs to go each side and how long I want it to rest so I have Andre running around the kitchen trying to get everything done before the timer I've set goes off! He also made the most delicious pepper sauce with it. I don't usually like pepper sauce and would never ever order it in a restaurant. But this one was fantastic. It didn't have any peppercorns in it, only ground black pepper. It's the peppercorns I don't like.

Then after steak night we had burger night. We made the patties ourselves and topped it with the left over pepper sauce. I'm also not one who would ever really crave a burger, but this was the best burger I've ever had! I suppose also because I could decide on the size of patty I wanted so I wasn't overly stuffed like I would usually feel after having a burger.

Burger & Pepper Sauce

We're having a few vegetarian dinners this week to recover and give our bodies a rest after all that meat!


The recipe for the burger and the pepper sauce is over here on my other blog.
