Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine all the ingredients except the garlic butter and fresh rosemary to create a rub.
- 2
Season fillet well with rub and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
- 3
You could use one of two cooking methods... The one; a firm favourite of my fellow South Africans is to braai (or barbeque). For this method I suggest searing the meat on a high flame to seal it then allow to cook on a moderate fire until done to your preference.
- 4
Note to Baste the fillet during cooking with garlic and herb butter using the rosemary as a 'brush'. (Melt butter)
- 5
The Second Method uses a combination of stove top and oven cooking as follows...
- 6
Grease an oven proof dish with a drizzle of olive oil and heat through.
- 7
Sear meat to seal. Remember to seal all sides.
- 8
Place 2 to 3 Tblsp of garlic butter and two sprigs of fresh rosemary over meat.
- 9
Cover with foil and place in oven at 140°C for about 20 to 25 minutes (depending on how well done you like your steak - you may need to cook for longer for well done)

Method for the Chilli Chocolate Sauce:
- 11
Combine bayleaf, garlic, thyme, rosemary and red wine to a saucepan and simmer on medium heat until reduced to half.
- 12
Once reduced, add stock to wine and continue to simmer until reduced to half.
- 13
Stir in butter and then remove Bayleaf, garlic and thyme. Remove from heat and cool slightly (for about 7 - 10 minutes). The butter gives your sauce a beautiful silky gloss a and adds to the decadence so I suggest not substituting with margarine.
- 14
NB. I found that reduction and cooling prevents the cream from curdling in the next step.
- 15
Whisk in the cream. Return to stove on a low heat just to warm through. You want it just warm enough to melt the chocolate in the next step.
- 16
Turn off heat then add in chocolate. Whisk until melted and smooth. NB. A darker chocolate will result in a more bitter sauce. I find 70% to be just perfect.
- 17
Add in red chilli flakes. Salt and pepper to taste. Combine well.

Enjoy

Sweet and spicy chilli sauce Sweet and spicy chilli sauce
This is a sweet yet spicy tomato sauce that I like to add to my chilli. You could put it on anything you wanted too really but it's a really good fit when mixed into a chilli I think. If you don't want the sweetness to it simply substitute the 9 roma tomatoes with 4 beefsteak tomatoes and leave out the brown sugar entirely. When prepping the peppers don't include the bell peppers' seeds into the mixture however, do include the habanero seeds.

Chinese Style Chicken Karaage with Aurora Chili Sauce Chinese Style Chicken Karaage with Aurora Chili Sauce
I often make this with chicken, which is cheaper than shrimp, with chili sauce, but I wanted to make something a little different, a sauce that was a bit spicy and creamy. I always used to mix some ketchup with chili sauce so I tried mixing some mayonnaise too to make an aurora sauce base.The sauce is quite thick, so you pour it over some quickly blanched bell peppers. By adjusting the amount of doubanjiang, even small children who don't like bell peppers should eat them up with the sauce.You can leave out the oyster sauce in the marinade. You can make up for it with Worcestershire sauce.The sauce goes well with fried squid or shrimp too, in which case use XO sauce instead of oyster sauce. Recipe by Sabumochi

Microwaved Shrimp with Chili Sauce Microwaved Shrimp with Chili Sauce
I first learned about sweet chili sauce on Cookpad. I wondered if this could make a quick shrimp in chili sauce. I found a bottle at the supermarket and tried it with roast chicken and pork. The label said it has chili peppers, sugar, vinegar, sesame, and lots of other spices. I looked through other Cookpad recipes that used the sauce, and combined it with microwave recipes by Harumi Kurihara (a TV cooking star and cookbook author) to make a super-fast shrimp with chili sauce.This is even easier if you use peeled shrimp. The microwave cooking time varies depending on the size and amount of shrimp, so stop the microwave a little early and check. Recipe by Okaraseijin -
Shrimp with Chilli Sauce or Mayonnaise Sauce Shrimp with Chilli Sauce or Mayonnaise Sauce
I sometimes feel like eating Chinese food, but I don't make it much since it's quite high in oil. I tried to make this dish as oil-free as possible.Sweet chilli sauce is the key to this dish. I used homemade mayonnaise this time. If you serve this dish with finely shredded cabbage it will make the dish itself lighter.You don't want to waste even the shells of the shrimp. They will yield good flavour to the dish. When you discard the shells they are cooked so they won't be so smelly. Recipe by Kukkuri -
Chicken Kara-age with Chilli Sauce Chicken Kara-age with Chilli Sauce
This is our family's usual chiili sauce. I paired the chicken with this sauce because chicken is much cheaper that prawns which is the usual combination.As for the quantity of the potato starch flour dissolved with water it really depends on how much the sauce reduces or how thick you like the sauce. I made it to taste for this recipe. The ratio of the potato starch flour and water is roughly 1 teaspoon each. It is nice to coat the chicken with the sauce or just to drizzle it over.

Green Chili Sauce Green Chili Sauce
After making chicken enchiladas with green sauce, using a canned sauce, I decided to try and make my own homemade green chili sauce. Looked at a bunch of recipes and combined them to make this one. It came out great and is much better than the canned sauce. Note: I tried using red Fresno peppers but after roasting the skins got tough and I could not remove so I threw them out.
