The steak looks good, but the chips looked like they are rather soft and greasy? How did you cook them?

The method is a few posts above - oven roasted after a brief immersion in boiling water, then oil and flavours added post drain. I can assure, no grease at all, and no sogginess.

This evening's meal is shaping nicely. Can't decide whether to do this now, or tomorrow. Easy to do once you have all the parts together....

Well, I have started.

Pets got involved, no doubt smelling the aromas.

Fresh Coriander to add once prawns go in - put it in a watered environment in the fridge ( mug will do ) and it thrives.

Success. Prawns in last and only a few minutes to cook through.

Had a few bowls with a separate bowl of Basmati on the side. Always goes down well.

Sigh.

Need to do something to this tonight. Tesco pizza.

I have ideas. Should be much improved once cooked.

Really fancy this. Any chance you could do a quick write up of method and any other ingredients that aren’t in your pic?

Sure... all ingredients are shown in pic other than the Coriander. You could also add lemongrass to the mix if you wanted.

Put the curry paste, fresh garlic, fresh ginger and juice of a lime into a wok and heat. Also crack some black pepper into it. Once warm add two cans of coconut milk and then mix well to give the orange colour. Dice the spring onions and add.

Once the contents are settled, add sesame oil, soy sauce, juice of another lime and plenty of diced coriander. ( lemongrass stalk can sit in the mixure during all this if you use it. I slice each end off, remove a layer of husk and crush before adding ). You can add the bird eyes at this stage, or if your feeling brave scotch bonnets.

You can put peas, green beans or other veg into the mix at this stage too. Then just allow to settle. I sometimes prpeare this early, leave it for a few hours then come back and reheat it when i want to actually eat. Grey prawns go in at the last minute when the wok is hot and your ready to serve. You can also use chicken or any other meat for that matter, but prawns work well.

Tonight I'm doing a signature dish as I need to prepare a 20 min presentation for work. I'll be photoing and powerpointing so will transfer content cross when I can.

Rib eye beef with Dan can noodles and broth. Basically layers of sliced rare rib eye on a bed of noodles sitting on a broth of lime, lemon, garlic, ginger, chilli, spring onion, 5 spice, szechuan pepper, soy sauce and honey. It's pungent!

Great looking steak! Pardon my ignorance but what’s a Denver steak, is that a cut? Familiar with flat iron. Cheers.
It’s a recent American invention and is cut from the chuck roll near the shoulder. Very tender steak like fillet
Thanks!

A fair effort for chicken with mozzarella and a tomato sauce. Had to grill peppers, to remove the skins, cook the chicken. Then the sauce and throw it under the grill. Too many steps!

I mostly never take the skin of veg, it has some much flavour.

Qq, why Indian curry paste with south east Asian ingredients...?

It was the other half’s choice, so I stick to it like glue, not worth her having one up on me, also proves I make a better sauce that recipes she suggests!
