This is one of those meals that was created because of the ingredients I had. And I’m thinkin’ I should have these ingredients around all the time!
There has been one rather large strip steak languishing in the freezer for a while. All by itself, I’d just move it out of the way as I added or removed things. Until last night. I decided it was time to cook that sucker.
My first thought was making a simple beef stroganoff – I had the ingredients – but after starting, I decided beef, mushrooms, and mushroom ravioli would be more fun! I had those ingredients, too.
I sauteed the beef in a bit of olive oil and then added the mushrooms. I let it all cook down really well, and then added a splash of soy sauce and a splash of worcestershire sauce. I then added maybe a cup of beef stock and let it all heat together. When it was boiling, I added a bit of cornstarch to thicken.
In went the cooked ravioli, mixed well – and yum.
A pretty quick off-the-cuff dinner.
