Steak with Mushy Peas and Honey Pepper Potatoes

Steak meat is generally sliced across muscle fibers. It is often grilled in an attempt to replicate the flavor of steak cooked over the glowing coals of an open fire. I have grilled my marinated steak in a small griller machine from Russel Hobbs. It was really juicy and cooked to perfection. I accompanied the steak with easy mashed peas and flavorful honey pepper baby potatoes

Add salt, cooking cream and chopped coriander/cilantro. Once ready make a mushy paste using a blender or hand grinder or back of the spatula until as per your desired consistency.

• Honey Pepper Potatoes: In a sauce pan add 2tbsp oil, minced garlic, chopped spring onions and cook until soft and fragrant. Add baby potatoes with the skin. Add 2tbsp soy sauce, 1tbsp vinegar, 2tbsp back pepper,1tbsp honey,1tbsp chili flakes and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Add 2 cups water and cook the potatoes until soft. To the end add cornstarch (1 teaspoon corn flour mixed with 2tbsp water). Make sure you have a nice thick sauce.

• Garnish with white sesame seeds, optional.

Serve the steak, peas, and potatoes together with lots of green salad on the side.
