Peppery Steaks With Wine Sauce
This is the second recipe I had tagged for a game I play on Zaar. It was a very good recipe that was easy to prepare and the end result was delicious. I did use a 500g piece of beef fillet instead of the rib eye or sirloin suggested, as I loved this tender cut of meat and it was on special at the store so I could not resist. Both this and the cat fish recipe were by the same chef and both were truly wonderful recipes so I would recommend you trying them both. I am going to get round to posting some more of my own recipes over the next few days as I have few in back log now. To read more reviews on this recipe or to view more photos please click here. This chef has some really great recipes posted so be sure to check out more whilst you are there.

Hoisin Pork Fillet
This is a recipe I came up with the other night as I had a pork loin to use up. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it so I just used a bunch of stuff I already had in my fridge and cupboard and it turned out really well. I served ours over egg and vegetable fried rice but it would be just as nice served over steamed rice as well.

Ingredients

500g Pork fillet
1/2 Cup hoisin sauce
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
2 Tablespoons bourbon
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
2 Teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
2 Cloves garlic, crushed

Method

1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, add pork fillet and marinade several hours or over night in the fridge.

2. Pre-Heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius, remove pork from marinade, reserving marinade, place pork in an oven proof dish, roast for 35-40 Min’s or until cooked as desired, basting occasionally with marinade whilst cooking.

3. Remove pork and cover to keep warm.

4. In a sauce pan pour remaining marinade along with pork juices and bring to the boil, Simmer a few minutes.

Serve pork sliced over rice with sauce.
