Ribeye leftover night

This evening I met The Woo from her work and we went and got a few bits of shopping at Waitrose.  Whilst deciding what meat we fancied the couple in front of us bought half of the two bone end of a rib of beef.  We decided to take the other half - and the best bit was that with all the other shopping we bought, after my discount, the meat was a freebie!

At home I boned out the rib end and cut the joint into two lovely and thick ribeye steaks.  Don't tell The Woo but I ate the trimmings raw!

The steaks were lightly oiled and pan fried for about two minutes on either side.  Seasoned whilst in the pan and left to rest for a good 10 minutes.  Lovely and pink and juicy!

With this I served complete and utter leftovers and made a sort of garlicky cabbage stir fry which had streaky bacon, chilli, onion and cream in it.  I also braised some large portobellini mushrooms in butter and sun dried tomato paste.  A little cream was added to this as a dressing for the steak.

An indulgent meal but the steak was absolutely delicious and now we have a bit more room in the fridge!
