A recipe for a special occasion - in our home New Years Eve meal, but it could be any celebration. Depending on where you live, it is quite pricey if you go for beef, but I have made this recipe with chicken too and you still enjoy that "special-meal feeling" thanks to the blue cheese sauce and delicious potato and sweet onion side. Cooking in Spain I used Roquefort cheese, but when I make this in the UK I use Stilton. Wherever you are, any blue cheese will do. Happy New Year :-)

Steps

1

Heat a pan of water and when the water is boiling, add a pinch of salt and boil the potatoes for 10 mins. Peel and slice the onions and fry gently for the same 10 mins until they are soft. Put an oven dish in the oven at 200º with a dash of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. When the potatoes and onions are ready, add to the dish, stir well and cook in the oven for 30 minutes
2

Put the rum and cheese in a large pan and warm over a gentle heat. Once the cheese has melted, add the creme fraîche and stir over the gentlest heat possible. Once the ingredients have blended together, turn the heat off and let them stand.
3

Take the potatoes and onions out of the oven -the onions will have caramelised adding a nice sweetness to the potatoes. Adjust for salt and pepper and keep in the warm oven while you prepare the meat.
4

Start to heat the sauce again
5

Heat the pan and prepare the meat - just a few seconds either side if you like it rare, a bit longer if you like it medium and however long you like if you prefer it well done
6

Put the meat on the plate, pour the warm sauce over it, add the potatoes and onions, uncork the wine and get ready to enter into a whole festive dimension. Enjoy!!!

Alicante, Spain

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World.
