Sexy Steak with Sausages and Rocket Salad For those lucky students with few money concerns I am going to suggest one of my favourite dishes that I will possibly be cooking for my boyfriend this year, hopefully he won’t remember that I did it for him last year too! Ingredients 15. 2 steaks of your preference. Eg. Sirloin, fillet, rib eye, T-bone etc. 16. Sausages (I recommend either ‘pork and apple’ or ‘caramelised onion’; very tasty indeed!) 17. Rocket salad 18. Parmesan cheese 19. Balsamic vinegar or glaze 20. Onion 21. Salt and pepper Method 22. Rub some salt and pepper into your steaks and leave them to reach room temperature before cooking. 23. Consider how you like your steak cooked and perhaps look online for how long to cook it on each side. I recommend grilling the steak although frying works well too. 24. Depending on how long you need to cook your steak for work it around the sausages. They should take about 8-12 minute depending on the size. Double check on the label. 25. Chop up your onion, put a little oil in a frying pan and fry the onions until they start to brown. Sprinkle some sugar on for caramelised onions (optional but very nice). 26. Plate up the rocket salad, sprinkle on some cheese and balsamic vinegar/glaze. 27. Plate up the steak and sausages then pour the onions onto the steak and it’s ready to serve!
