On a glorious summer’s evening there’s nothing better than gettingan aged steak on the barbecue and cooking in the garden with the sun shinning on your face. It’s so easy, fast and cooked right it can be so delicious! I love to serve my steaks with flavoured butters that I can also pop on my baked potato. Two of my favourites are Chilli, Coriander & Lime,and Tarragon & Horseradish. They both take about five minutes to prepare and they can be prepared a day or two ahead.
