Another Saturday Steak Night

I've been a bit busy this last week hence no posts so will be making up for it tonight.  Been hammering the gym and working hard, and had a night out on Friday with friends which rendered me useless all day yesterday.  Not used to it!

Last Saturday, we weren't massively hungry (turned out that we were actually ill - stomach-related, ick) so I did something simple with the steaks.  Mr W had the customary rib eye and I opted for a fillet.

I got some posh pasta from Waitrose a while ago so decided to serve the steak on a bed of pasta with a creamy mushroom sauce.

For the sauce, I chopped onions, garlic, chillies, leeks, parsley and mushrooms and hydrated some dried porcini's for that lovely smoky flavour.

I fried everything together and added the porcini liquer and some double cream at the end.  Due to us not being very hungry I just did some broccoli.

It was good but we couldn't finish it and had to cancel our night out for a friend's birthday because we weren't well :(  There's been a stomach bug going around so think that must have been it, it certainly wasn't my cooking!!! ;)
