The Fair Trade Cook Book

Gypsy Steak

This is the recipe that started it all, and is so delicious you could pop the question.
Once enshrined on a small recipe card, but lost to the chaos of family life, this recipe has been re-created from loving memory.
Originally it was "Yugoslavian gypsy steak", Bosnia does not quite have the same "ring". Quantities are for 2, but it is a scaleable recipe.
And so, rediscovered in the depths of an ancient cookbook, here is the original from 1974:
The missing recipe card

Ingredients

2	sirloin steaks
2	small onion
1	clove garlic
2	tomatoes
100 gm	mushrooms
2	large organic potatoes
75 gm	butter
100 ml	FAIRTRADE red wine

FAIRTRADE	Sources Spices Wine

Method

Start by cooking the potatoes as jacket potatoes.
Meanwhile:
Top, tail, peel and chop the onions.
Quarter the tomatoes.
Peel and chop the garlic.
Clean and sliced the mushrooms, but not too thin.

When the potatoes are nearly ready, melt the butter in a laaarge frying pan and cook the steaks with the onions and garlic the way you like them on both sides, and when done keep the steaks warm in a serving dish.
In the same pan including the buttery juices from the steak, fry the tomatoes and mushrooms for 5 minutes and then add the wine. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
Season with salt and FAIRTRADE black pepper to taste.

To serve
Spoon the tomatoes and mushrooms over the steaks and serve. Suitable for a romantic setting, candles, flowers, etc.

Variation

You could do oven-ready chips instead of the jacket potatoes.
