not really a recipe, but i discovered today that if you roast bell peppers (green and red), red onion, and whole garlic cloves on a grill with hickory chips and bay leaves on the coals, it tastes and smells incredible.

Puree them and add them to homemade bbq sauce (had that for dinner tonight :D)

OK here is a quick and easy pepper steak

Ingredients:

Steaks (I prefer sirloin about 1" thick or rib eye)
Cracked black pepper
1 small can of green peppercorns
butter
salt
white wine
brandy
cream
Veal stock


Season the steaks with cracked black pepper and salt. Heat some butter in a very hot pan, and cook the steaks in the butter to your liking.

Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the pan and keep them warm.

Pour some white wine into the pan to deglaze. Add some brandy. Add some veal stock (about 3 tablespoons), and reduce. Add the green peppercorns.

Add some butter and continue to reduce until it starts to thicken.

Finally, add some cream and cook over a low heat until it is warm and thick enough.

Pour the sauce over the still-warm steaks.


This goes well with french fries:

About 500grams of potatoes

Peel the potatoes, cut them into french fries.

Then rinse thoroughly in cold water.

Deep fry at 190 degrees Celcius for 6 minutes, then lift them out of the oil. Wait for the oil to reach full heat again (ie 190 degrees) and then put the fries back in for another 2 minutes.

Pull them out after 2 minutes, and salt to your liking.

Vegetarian Shepard's Pie


2 cans of brown lentils (or 400grms of dried brown lentils soaked)
Massal beef stock (it's vegetarian, you'll find it in coles)
Worcestershire sauce
Gravox powder
5 large potatoes
1 large Onion
3 garlic cloves
Parmesan cheese
tablespoon of olive oil
Water (1 - 3 cups.)

Chop the potatoes in to 6ths and set to boil.

Dice the onion and garlic then add to the oil which you have heated in a pan, stir and brown. add 1 cup of water and the lentils, stir.

Add Worcestershire sauce ( two splashes from the bottle), let simmer.

Mix the stock cube in a cup of boiling water, then add to the mixture and stir.

Let it simmer for about 5 mins, then add a teaspoon of Graveox, just sprinkle it on and mix it through as you add it so it doesn't go lumpy.
add up to 3 teaspoons or untill you are happy with the texture of the sauce, it should not be to thick and should drip of the spoon.

you can always even it out with more water or gravox, (I don't write my recipes down, so this is all from memory)

Let it simmer for a few minutes more while you drain the potatoes. the potatoes should be soft and a knife should go straight through them.

Mash the hell out of them with a quater cup of milk and 1 egg.

Put the oven on to pre heat at 200 dc

turn of the sauce and poor in to a lasagna style baking dish, spread the mash over the top evenly, pushing it down so it doesn't not sit over the edges.

Then grate some parma over the top and put it in the oven, should be ready in 40 minutes, but check it at about 30...

Oh yeah, it's definitely that! My boss and his wife make this when they go tailgating at Eagles games.

if they like spicy, have them try the oven fried chicken. i havent tested it yet, but i am willing to bet it can be done on a grill (i may just try that today...)
