February 10 2012

This meal was a little delayed due to my recent trip to Vancouver. It didn’t leave a lot of time to make out meal last week so this one we’re doing double duty.

So up on deck this week was a seared sirloin steak, mashed potatoes, and carrots all from the Jaime Oliver cookbook.

This recipe required a little more patience and skill than some of our other recipes. Here is the final result:

Overall comments:

- although Beef was humanly raised, they were grazers, no hormones, pesticides etc. etc. my one of us thought the beef was a little tough

- the carrots had a very summer hint because it included orange zest and a light white wine and didn’t seem to pair well with the other two items

- the meal wasn’t hot when served (this is definitely something we have to work on

Overall due to difficulty we give this meal an 8/10. The flavour of the salmon was better but the overall meal racked up the 8 points here.

I think we’re getting closer and closer every week..
