steak dinner

STUFF YOU NEED

4 x 200g (7oz) fillet or 2 x 400g (14oz) sirloin steaks

250g (9oz) cherry tomatoes, halved

3 garlic cloves, sliced

2tbsp olive oil

1 ciabatta loaf, cut into two equal lengths and halved lengthways

50g (2oz) mixed salad leaves

THIS IS HOW

1.If you're using fillet steak, flatten a little with a rolling pin. Put the steak, tomatoes and garlic in a large bowl, drizzle with oil and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

2.Heat a griddle pan or large frying pan until searing hot. Put the steak in the griddle pan with the tomatoes and garlic, and cook over a medium high heat for 2-3 mins each side for medium or 3-4 mins each side for well done. Move the tomatoes around occasionally to make sure they get coloured all over.

3.Remove the steak, tomatoes and garlic from the pan and set to one side. Grill the ciabatta in the griddle pan.

4.Slice the steak. Put a slice of ciabatta on each plate and top with the steak, tomatoes and a handful of salad. Season and serve with chips and mayonnaise.
Top tip: Try mixing sun-dried tomato paste and wholegrain mustard into the mayo.

Thought of the day

F A M I L Y
I ran into a stranger as he passed by, 'Oh excuse me please' was my reply.
He said, 'Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you.'
We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye.
But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. 'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said,
'While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.'
By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed; 'Wake up, little one, wake up,' I said.
'Are these the flowers you picked for me?' He smiled, 'I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue.'
I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.' He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway.'
I said, 'Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.'
FAMILY Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means? FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
