Steaks

Steaks The Perfect for Quick Fix

It is good to eat red meats at least once a week.  The preparation or cooking them are various, for steaks depending on the cuts.  I think for daily meals cooking steaks is suitable.  Steaks are easy to prepare, what you need is the garnish.   They are perfect for a quick fix.
To cook steaks; the hot pan is essential, rub the fat-butter or oil on the steak. The thickness of the cut, the way you like to eat them determine how long you have to cook (from rare steaks to well done).

Pan- fried Porterhouse Steak Served with the Jus,
Sautéed Mushrooms, Garnished with  Rosti and Green Salad.

To serve steaks and garnishes,  I think the simplest garnish would be the best. We understand better to have a healthy life style.  Steaks served with very rich sauces are not acceptable for the daily meal, and also sauces are very time consuming to prepare.  Pesto, mushrooms or the jus are the best garnishes.  Salad or vegetables have to be served with the steak.


Less than ten minutes to prepare and to serve, cooking for two-four people.
