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.

Lemon Pepper Lamb
This is a great way to prepare lamb, from the seasoning used on the lamb, to the sauce served with it, it is really delicious. The recipe does call for lamb chops but I had some backstraps (fillets) to use up so made it with these instead. The lamb was beautifully tender and we loved the lemon pepper seasoning on them. I served ours over couscous and poured the sauce over the lamb and it was enjoyed by all. I have made several recipes from this chef before and I am never disappointed and this one is no exception. I loved how easy these was to prepare as well a really great recipe that I am sure you will enjoy. To read more reviews on this recipe or to see more photos please click here.
