Roast beef strips, leave them in red wine over night.
Sugar snap peas
Red peppers cut into thin strips
sliced red onion
Udon noodles
chill flakes/hot sauce/hoisin to taste.

I brown the meat off, then add the sugar snap peas, peppers and noodles and stir fry.
I add either chilli flakes, hot sauce or hoisin at this point and stir it in until all coated and ready to serve.
If i can't get red wine then definitely hoisin sauce but if i have red wine then i'll usually add chilli flakes to give it a little extra pep.

Lady Slopes laughed at me when i said i was going to cook it and said it would taste horrible. Her son is a chef in training and he told her after eating it that i can cook which shut her down and it's funny but she keeps asking me to cook it since.

We usually eat out Thursday, moving to Wednesday this year, and Friday and BBQ for the other dinners. That way the BBQ provides enough variation.

Just rediscovered our old favourite meal; we call them batti-wraps although I suspect that should be baLti laugh First enjoyed from a food stand at the original couple of Carfests (before it grew too big).
Bbq some spicy lamb kofte or similar, heat a kingsize wrap briefly too, arrange a mixture of salad and the meat split into strips ('butterflying' it ensures it's cooked through too) and then add the magic... the Holy Trinity of sweet, sour, and hot; mango chutney, raita (plain yoghurt with mint sauce stirred through) and hot chilli sauce (kebab shop type). Fold. Eat. Enjoy. Thank me later.

Fantastic thread that has made me very hungry.

Not much to add that hasn't already been mentioned but I would add Risotto to the list as well, usually do a creamy type one with veg stock, bacon, butternut squash, garlic, onions and mushrooms. Also huevos rancheros is a good one too.
