Fabulous food your friends and family will love with Tesco Finest
When you’re having a few people over for a relaxed get-together, you can end up putting out the same nibbles each time. While there is nothing wrong with crisps and dip, elevating your gathering with easy home-made snacks, made with just a few quality ingredients, is a lovely touch.
Tesco Finest 35 Day Salt Dry Aged Aberdeen Angus Ribeye Steak works perfectly for a gathering, as it only takes minutes to fry to juicy tenderness. And with such a simple menu to pull off, the star ingredients are sure to shine.
Our expert chefs, Jean-Christophe Novelli and Shelina Permalloo, have helped us create these easy individual steak Reubens, served, if you like, with a well-chosen wine to complement the meaty flavours.
‘It’s the marbling of the fat in a ribeye steak that gives it a beautiful flavour,’ says Shelina.
Jean-Christophe is in no doubt. ‘This steak is so delicious,’ he says. ‘You don’t need to add butter or too much salt. Let the flavours shine on their own.’
Once rested, it only takes minutes to slice and layer up your ribeye between pieces of sourdough bread with the dressing, sauerkraut and cheese.
Try serving on a platter or board as a centrepiece. Pick your most attractive serving plate or use a wooden board covered with a layer of baking paper. Give your guests smart napkins and get them to tuck in – no cutlery required!
This sophisticated yet easy sandwich delivers a hit of umami flavours, so it needs a rich red wine that can perfectly complement those savoury flavours from the steak.
Our experts picked out a bottle of Tesco Finest Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Grown in the highest quality vineyards of the Italian Abruzzo hills, overlooking the Adriatic coast, this inky black Montepulciano is rich and complex, with flavours of juicy black fruit, savoury spice and a typical chocolate finish.
Now all that’s left is for you and your guests to enjoy the food, wine and each other’s company.
