    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  What a great idea. I will buzz downstairs to Gieves and ask him to get cook on with the job.

                    nom nom oh yeah! steak sandwich

                    nice blast from the past. realised that i never added a recipe myself so here's my nom nom oh yeah! steak sandwich

                    prep:10min › cook:15min › ready in:25min

                    ingredients
                    • 200g beef steak (any cut will do)
                    • 2 red onions
                    • 5 mushrooms
                    • 10g butter
                    • 1 mid-sized baguette
                    • tsp. mustard (english or dijon)
                    • tsp. tomato puree
                    • 1 garlic clove
                    • tbsp. red wine
                    • tsp. thyme
                    • tsp. basil
                    • tbsp. worcester sauce
                    • 2 tbsp. olive oil

                    method
                    1. heat the oven to 190 / 170C fan or gas mark 5
                    2. remove the steak from the fridge and put to one side so that it can reach room temperature, trim any excess fat and slice the steak into thin strips.
                    3. peel and finely slice the onions, peel and grate the garlic clove and slice the mushrooms.
                    4. take a large non-stick frying pan, put onto on a medium heat and add the butter & 1 tbsp of olive oil. when the butter has melted, place the onions and any trimmed steak fat into the pan, add a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper and cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
                    5. pour in the red wine into the pan and cook for another 3 minutes.
                    6. add the mustard, tomato puree, worcester sauce, grated garlic and sliced mushrooms and give it all a really good mix. cook for a further 5 minutes. this is now your steak sauce. remove any fat trimmings to a plate on the side.
                    7. remove the steak sauce from the pan and place into a small pot on a low heat. retain the frying pan – do not clean it!
                    8. meanwhile, pop the baguette into the oven on a medium heat so that it can warm through but not become too hard or crispy.
                    9. add 1 tbsp olive oil to the retained pan and put on a high heat. once hot, add the steak strips to the pan with a pinch of salt, a grind of pepper and the basil. stir frequently for 2 or 3 minutes or until the style of your liking.
                    10. remove the steak strips to the plate with the fat trimmings. rest the meat for at least 1 minute so that the juices can be released. discard the fat trimmings.
                    11. remove the baguette from the oven and slice lengthways, spread with the steak and fat juices, add half the steak sauce to the baguette, then add the steak slices and top with the remaining steak sauce. get some napkins & enjoy!
