How about a steak?





(Serve for 2)


Ingredients:


- Your preferred meat, something like a scotch/eye fillet?


- Buy a garlic-steak spice (usually it's like a powder in the bottle)


- Your preferred soy sauce. I use 'kikkoman'


- Salt





How to make:


Marinate your steak for 5 minutes with garlic-steak spice and a bit of salt on both sides.


Pre-heat your pan for a few minutes until it's quite hot. Grilled your marinated steak in low heat until both sides are half done (depending on how would you like to be done). And after it almost cooked, add 1 1/2 tea spoon of soy sauce for each side of the steak. Leave the steak for 2 minutes or less, and it's ready to be served!





Side dishes: Fried fries or mix veg





How easy is that? Steak, sounds expensive yet it's quite cheap when you cook it yourself (not much ingredients) and quick to cook.





Enjoy!














What are some quick and easy recipes i can cook at home?
There are a multitude of cook books on the market that provide recipes for hundreds, if not thousands, of quick and easy meals that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less using simple, easy to obtain ingredients.





If you like fancier meals, but don't have the time or the energy after work to prepare them, try fixing casseroles or other meals that can be refrigerated over the weekend and then reheat them when you get home after work. Pastas and casseroles are great for this.





A slow-cooker is also good for fixing meals to eat when you are too tired after work to do so. Put all your ingredients into the crock pot in the morning before you go to work, and when you get home, your meal will be ready to serve. There are also many cook books for crock pot cooking to give you great ideas.
