This simple anchovy steak sauce is one that we use regularly in the house. What's even better is it's not just a steak sauce! Imagine (or do have it!) drizzled over tomatoes, used on top of bruschetta or over some pulled lamb and polenta - recipe coming soon!! It's quick to make and adds BAGS of flavour to many dishes.

I have visited many wineries and am part of quite a few wine clubs, and along with visiting local independent bottle shops, I pick up some GREAT bargains online. A good chunk of those come from winedirect.com.au and my mate Dan who is the business development manager there!

I've chosen a Santa & D'Sas Chardonnay from the Yarra Valley for this one. Rated highly by Mr Halliday, this delicious drop is at a great price at winedirect.com.au.

No steak dinner would be complete without a nice big juicy red wine. Luckily for you and me, one of my good mates (Dan) works at winedirect.com.au and has hooked me up once again with a cracker. Is there anything this chap can't do - wine wise that is. There is a list WAY too long on other things.
