Read on for my recipe for steak toasts
It’s Burn’s Night next week and everyone will be diving into the haggis, quaffing whisky and quoting Burns as best they can after sinking too much of the golden juice. I thought these steak toasts would make a nice wee change if you are having friends round for a few drinks and want to have something different on Burn’s Night.
Party Food
These steak toasts would be a great addition to a buffet table with my Burns Baubles, Finnan Fingers and other Scottish nibbles that are featured on this blog and also come (like this recipe for steak toasts) from my book A Wee Taste Of Scotland which is available on Amazon both in hardback and in Kindle format.
Scotland is well known for her beef, especially the wondrous Aberdeen Angus beef and that’s what I’ve used in this easy recipe. I’ve also used my Highlander Mustard which is on this blog, you can use any other mustard but this one has whisky in it so ticks another Scottish box.
Easy recipes
When I have people round for drinks and nibbles I love to do things that are pretty substantial and soak up the booze on offer but they also have to be super easy to make. While I enjoy cooking and prepping up food in the kitchen, I don’t like to be trapped there all day getting things ready for a party. Give me easy recipes that I can pull together quickly so I can have time to chill out and get myself into party mode.
These steak toasts are also great just as a simple supper dish if you make them full size instead of bite sized as I have done here. This recipe makes size bite sized steak toasts, just up the ingredients for more to suit your needs.
