- Parsley
- Variety of pasta's
- A couple of different sauces, eg "balti indian sauce" and "coconut cream"
- Rice

Thanks everyone :)
Answers:
Try for a buffet style dinner. Cut up the meat and cook.
Boil or bake the spudsthe spuds, bake the sweet potatoes.
Boil the rice.
Prepare a pasta salad.
Prepare a green salad and steam what ever veggies you have on hand.
Let each on dish up rice or spuds and meat.
Hmm...
Grill the beef steaks and slice them against the grain into thin slices. Prepare the rice and serve the sliced meat over rice and top w/ the balti indian sauce. not sure what that is but it would probably taste good. Give it a try.
I would make chopped up steak and potatoes. They go very nicely together.
some toast
and some noodles on the side.
makes a great dish!
- Cut your meat in thin strips - season with parsley salt, black
pepper, and garlic powder - brown in skillet - when
browned add balti indian sauce with a 1/2 cup
water...cover and simmer for 20 mins.
- Dice up sweet potatoes - boil, smash with butter, milk, salt,
and ordinary potaoes.
- Boil rice in water till cooked - drain - add coconut cream,
milk and sugar...for dessert.
- Toast your bread with butter and garlic powder.
I hope you enjoy my creativeness
well you an take the pasta and mix it in a sauce, like.. something close to tomato sauce or something. take the "spuds" mash them up use rice as a side toast the bread and add butter drink the milk, and really I'm just 2 young to give anything else in help. I'm not a very experienced in cooking and i can't cook without burning 2 much you can try what i said but i don't think it will get you very far lol
Tough cuts of meat are usually good when braised. I've never tried this.......but how about using your coconut cream (if it's not that pudding stuff) and some water together. Season your beef steaks with whatever herbs/spices you have, sear on high heat for a couple minutes on each side......then cook in liquid on very low heat for at least an hour, covered. Remove steaks from braising liquid, let rest, reduce liquid and use as sauce for cooked rice.......slice steaks thinly on the bias (against the grain), serve over rice and sauce, garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
OR.......you could thinly slice the steaks, sear on high heat, remove, heat pasta sauce, add steak slices and serve over pasta.
Now.......what are you going to do for a veggie (smile)
Well, if your meat is not of very good quality I wouldn't know how to cook them without stewing it at least at some point. If you have good nice skills you could slice the meat very thinly. If you can do this, try marinating the thin slices with salt (this will help tenderize), pepper a tbsp. of oil and abot 1/4 cup of your balti sauce. In a hot skillet cook up your sliced meat. Remove the meat from the pan. If you have onions, add them to the pan. If not, add the rest of the balti to the pan and bring it to a simmer, add the meat back to the pan and toss with the sauce. At the end add 1/4 cup of coconut cream. Serve it over the rice. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Put the steak in foil. Season with seasoning salt and lemon pepper. Cut up some onion, potatoes, and carrots and put on top of the steak. Add some butter on top. Wrap it up tight with the foil so the steam stays in. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes to 1 hour (depending on how thick the steaks are). This is one of my husbands favorites. And it so easy. No dishes to clean up because you throw the foil out.
