To serve 4:

4 x 6oz-8oz sirloin or rump steaks [one per person]
a little duck fat
FOR THE MARINADE
¼ pint dry sherry
1 orange
2 teaspoons horseradish sauce
2 teaspoons cranberry sauce

How to Cook Steak For A Winter Evening

  1. Grate the rind from the orange, and squeeze the juice. Place these in a mixing bowl and add the sherry, horseradish sauce and cranberry sauce. Mix well then use to fully coat the steaks. Refrigerate the steaks for at least one hour before cooking. (Best way to marinade steaks is to coat them in the marinade sauce, place them in a polythene bag and put any remaining sauce into the bag. Seal the bag and agitate to mix well, then refrigerate for at least one hour before using.)
  2. Remove the steaks from the marinade then pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Use this as a sauce (gravy) for your meal. Pan fry the steaks in a frying pan (skillet) with a small amount of duck (or goose) fat, turning once or twice. Allow about 4-5 minutes (total cooking) for rare, 6-7 minutes for medium, and up to 10 minutes for well done. Serve with rice, mushrooms and green beans.
