How to make it

  • Welcome to this recipe...it is a wonderful way to introduce some exotic flavours to the meat and potato crowd. And yes they will thank you.
  • about two thirds down the ingredient list you will notice 2 pints of cherry tomato and a tablespoon of oil....toss those tomatoes in that oil and put into a roasting pan. I have a selection of Pampared Chef baking stones....my 12" round dish with a 1" lip works perfectly for this.
  • Put the tomatoes in a 350 degree oven for about 40 mins then remove and set aside
  • take your steak, cut it up into 4 equal size pieces...you may want to buy a bigger steak if the folks you are feeding can handle more than 1/2 pound each. Add that steak to a heated stainless steel pan with high sides. Try not to use a non stick pan for this as flavoring the pan is what this dish is all about
  • Brown the steak on all sides in this pan and then remove
  • Add onions, carrot, celery and oil and saute on medium to low heat for about 2 mins.
  • Add wine and simmer till wine is reduced by half
  • Add stock and steak.
  • Cover the pan and let gently simmer for about an hour and a half
  • At this time start preparring the potatoes as if your were going to make mashed potatoes
  • In the mean time, put the red peppers and unpealled garlic cloves on a roasting pan and stick into the oven with the tomato pan
  • Now this is the time in the recipe that you can field questions from the audience because you sort of have to wait for a bit. Dont forget about the potatoes.... Try to time the cooking of the potatoes to the finishing of the steak.
  • Now that all that this time has elapsed you can try and put this thing together. First take all the stuff out of the oven and set aside
  • Take the steak out of the pan and set aside.
  • Take the garlic cloves from the roasting pan, peel and add the gooey mess to the beef stock mixture in the pan.
  • Add the tomatoe and peppers to the beef stock shortly there afterwards. Then take a hand blender and make a sauce out of the entire mixture. If you do have a hand blender, put all the hot stuff out of the pan into a food processor and puree.
  • Once the puree is complete, marry it to the steak and let sit for few minutes while you finish the potatoes.
  • Mash the potatoes as you normally would with the milk you normally would add and then add the Asiago cheese. Some may call you a genius for the potatoes, but you will now how easy it was to put them together.
  • Serve on plates as you normally would when serving steak with mashed potatoes and sauce.....the flavors will make your taste buds say "what was that?"
  • oh if you dont own a hand blender or a food processor, I guess you are going to have to use a potato masher. Sorry about not mentioning that at the begining....I will know better next time
