The most tender, most delicious fillet steak cuts, and my hubby's absolute favourite meal. I normally serve it with a pepper steak sauce which adds amazing flavour and spice to the meal. Our favourite 'special weekend' dinner!! :)
1 kg fillet steak, cut into slices (get the tenderest cuts of meat)
Make small cuts on the fillet slices to help the marinade get absorbed better and to tenderize the fillet.
Prepare this marinade..
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp. ginger paste
1 tbsp. garlic paste
juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp. yoghurt
2 tsp. red chili powder
1 tbsp. roughly crushed black pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. melted butter
½ tsp. cumin powder
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix everything into a paste, then apply on the steak slices on both sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Put the steak in a pressure cooker with 1 cup of water and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Remove and set aside. Heat 2 tbsp. of butter on a frying pan, then fry the steak on both sides just to give it a nice color.
If any water remained after boiling the steak, set it aside to be used in the sauce.
For the sauce you will need:
INGREDIENTS
1 onion, chopped fine
2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vinegar
splash of soya sauce or any steak sauce (like A1, Worcestershire, HP sauce..etc.)
1 tsp. corn flour mixed in a bit of water to form a paste
1-2 cups water (you can use the stock remaining from boiling steak)
salt to taste
2 tbsp. cream (optional)
1 tbsp. crushed black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the butter in the same pan as you fried the steak, fry the onions until almost golden. Add the vinegar and scrape any meat stuck on the pan. Add the water and salt, simmer together for a while. Add the corn flour and stir until slightly thickened, then finally add the cream. Mix together, add the black pepper, splash of soya sauce or any steak sauce, adjust salt and your sauce is ready to serve

My husband luv steaks.I always thought that it would be very difficult to make but this recipe is really simple ,i will try this weekend ISHALLAH. Thx Fauzia
I tried this recipie last night. My husband loved it. Jazakallah fauzia!
Use fresh/cooking cream, otherwise you can dilute heavy cream with some milk and use that instead.
What kind of cream can i use, heavy cream or half and half or sour?
Salaams. Can I use a slow cooker or the oven to cook the steaks? Or does it have to be a pressure cooker? If so, how long should it be cooked for? Thanks :)
W/Salaam, you can use a slow cooker or oven, although pressure cooker retains moisture in the meat giving a more succulent steak.
Asalam aleykum fauzia, am a huge fan of steaks n so is ma hubby, bt used 2make it differently n I would like to try ur way....so can i use rump steak for this recipe and do I have to boil it like da other fillets..thnx
W/Salaam, rump steak is a bit tougher than fillet. So yes you would need to boil it.
Thnx 4ur reply fauzia bt wen rump steak is cut into thinly sliced fillets I think bcmes soft just by grillin.
Wonderful, then you can omit the boiling if they are thinly cut. :)
