steak dinner

My friend, Hardian's favourite meal is a big piece of steak. I had him and two other friends over for dinner and I cooked Jamie's ultimate rib of beef with rosemary and garlic roast potatoes, and also roasted leeks with thyme. Oh, Yum!

I've made this rib of beef several times now and it just gets better every time. The big piece of meat was marinated in garlic, lemon zest, rosemary and olive oil for several hours before grilled and roasted in the oven until medium-rare which is our favourite. When done, squeeze over a little lemon juice and drizzle over a splash of olive oil and let the steak rest for few minutes to allow all the juices to move back into the meat. Nobody wants a dry piece of steak.


Food, Friends and Wine. Perfect.
