Steak, Mushroom Sauce & Whipped Potatoes

It is really easy with main ingredient being meat, mushroom and potatoes, with whipping cream.

Steak Recipe (from a German friend)
Steak 1 kg (cut into steak sizes accordingly)
1 tsp of yellow mustard
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp white sugar
Half tsp black pepper powder
4 tbsp of oil (as a marinating agent & for no oil needed to grill later)

Directions
Cook on a griller pan or a pan to the desired level. Serve when hot.

Mushroom Sauce Recipe (the cut corners version)
1 can of Campbell Mushroom Soup
Half cup of sliced white or red onion
1 stalk of celery finely sliced
1 cup of shitake mushroom (or other soft mushroom) cut coarsely
1 can of water

Directions
Fry the celery and onion in a little bit of oil, until onion sweats. Add mushroom and fry another 2 minutes, then add the Campbell soup mix and the water. Simmer until boiling. You may want to add more water if you would like to have your sauce more diluted.

Whipped Potatoes Recipe
7-8 medium size US potatoes, boil with water until tender (use a fork test),
1 cup of milk
Half cup of cream (whipping or thickened type)
Half tsp of parsley flakes
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions
I used the Nigella Lawson's method of preparation. The boiled potatoes, after skins are removed, to be mash up and place in a pot. Turn on a medium-low heat, add the milk, cream and all other ingredients, and whip the mixture until it became mushy & soft like batter.

Sambal Jenganan

This is my late grandmother's recipe. Made in abundance, kept dry in a container for 3-4 weeks in the fridge, just add hot water & serve with steam vegetables, fried tofu & boiled eggs. Can be served as appertizer, salad or even a main dish with rice. I would constantly take it as a peanut sauce dip to my fish crackers.

Ingredients

3/4 cup of dried chillies

3 cups of ground peanuts (to deepfry until golden brown)

4-5 tbsp sugar

3-4 tbsp tamarind juice from 1.5 tbsp of tamarind wet paste

1 tsp shrimp paste or belacan

Directions

Soak the dried chillies in hot water about 1 hour to soften them. Dried chillies can be spicy; should you want to reduce the spiciness, remove the seeds before soaking. After chillies are soft, remove the water & blend the chillies until quite fine. Add the fried peanuts, sugar, tamarind juice & shrimp paste. Blend until peanuts are fine. Mixture is dry, and you can take the desired amount for the current serving. The remainder may be kept in a plastic container & store in the refrigerator.
