Especially for Rincewind, Zie, Rozee & Ika. harap2 berkenan kat tekak masing2,hehe...

Mushroom and black pepper sauce

-20g butter
-1 tbsp plain flour/tepung gandum
-2 cloves garlic, minced finely
-100 -150g fresh mushroom, sliced (I pakai swiss brown mushroom, klu kat M'sia oyster mushroom pun sedap gak guna)
- 2 tbsp cream (nak bagi lemak lagi but it's optional klu tak suka)
-1/2 -3/4 cup fresh milk
- salt and pepper to taste ( I put lots of black pepper nak bagi kick sikit. Klu bole guna biji and then tumbuk sikit sbb rasa dia fresh lagi. Klu guna yg serbuk dah takde kick sgt)

Melt the butter in a frypan until berbuih sikit/foamy on a medium heat. Then add the garlic and mushroom until garlic and mushroom are cooked.
Add the plain flour and stir it until the flour is cooked about 2 minutes.
Then add the milk and cream and stir until pekat sikit and heated through, klu nak lagi bnyk kuah, tambah susu lagi but jgn bnyk sgt nanti cair sgt pulaknya.
Then add salt and pepper secukup rasa.
Sudah sedia utk dihidang bersama steak or lamb chops. Senang kan!

Steak
-about 100g piece of nice fillet steak per person, 1cm in thickness (this size is enough for me)-daging batang pinang ok gak kan?
-black pepper tumbuk kat lesung (amount to bergantung pada selera sendiri)
-a pinch of salt

Mix the pepper yg dah ditumbuk tu with a pinch of salt and then put it on a flat surface. Coat the steak with the pepper mixture.
Heat your grill pan/frying pan and cook your steak to your liking, rare or well done. Selalunya saya guna high heat and sear both sides of the steak first pastu masak berapa lama tu ikut ketebalan steak tu. Kalau lama sgt, it'll be very tough, klu kejap sgt, it'll be rare in the middle still which I don't like. Rest the steak for about 5 minutes before eating it.
To serve, spoon the sauce onto the steak and enjoy it with green salad and fries/ roast potatoes.
