Steak with Winter Berry Gravy + Salad

me n classmate had lunch at an italian restaurant near sch on tues. i miss botak jones so much, so i ordered a freakin £10 grilled steak, half hopin it’ll be sthg like botak jones or at least e good one we had in bintan.

then e nice lady asked if i wanted salad or chips to go wif it.. n i swear i thot she meant it’s free n comes wif e steak, so i chose salad. in e end they served me a few shreds of cabbage n carrots - it was like i cld finish them in one mouth! n i was charged £2.50 for that dum thing. wth!!

e steak also din turn out to be nice at all. it was tough n bland n full of fats. ray said it’s prolly like how coffee shop steaks taste like.. i havent tried steak at coffee shops except at botak jones since i only started eatin steak recently haha.

so anyway i decided to try preparin my own version of e meal today. i marinated my steak wif a modified version of ziqi’s soy sauce marinade. the marinade used up damn alot of my soy sauce n oil leh..

then i prepared winter berry gravy n added mushrooms to it n the taste of e whole dish was really good! e only bad thing was i bought cheap steaks n the label said they hadda be cooked thoroughly.. so e meat turned out tough. boohoo.. think i shall go get better steak later after gym (n reuse the marinade??).

somehow the pic looks really nice! yummy.. i love steaks! the soy sauce marinade turned out good too tho e red wine vinegar taste was a bit too strong. xiao xing might prefer mushroom gravy tho.. i think i will prepare both when he comes over to visit! hee..

then i also prepared a big bowl of salad wif 1/3 bottle of thousand island sauce! wahaha.

this is so much better than the dum italian meal.. at half e price! hehehe..
