Steak Party

6kg of New Zealand Sirloin Steaks, 5kg of Brazilian chicken, 5 portobello mushrooms(which were far too few!), laced with butter and sprinkled with mozzarella cheese, home-made Cream of Mushroom soup, 12 cans of Becks and 6 cans of Tiger, and finally, one giant canister of Ribena - That's our first-ever Block C STEAK PARTY =) =)

The chicken was marinated in two ways:

1) Italian Dressing
2) Buddy Hoagies'(cafe run by Chris' Dad, check it out!) seasoning

The beef, the glorious beef, was mostly cooked in its natural beauty with only a light seasoning of salt and black grounded paper and a brushing of olive oil mixed with rosemary and thyme before being thrown onto the perfectly heated grill.

Johnnie Walker whiskey + A1/Hp sauce + chopped garlic + rosemary + thyme + olive oil + black pepper + worchestor sauce in various permutations were used to marinate a few choice cuts though, with results of varying .. excellence. Haha.

Special thanks to Buddy Hoagies and Chris' dad for providing the meat at COST price, the cutlery, the napkins, cream and seasoning.

Thanks to our block and vice blockheads Joyce and Kane for helping with the jio-ing and Kane for marinating the chicken and scrubbing the BBQ Pits(which reminds me, argh, haven't scrub the pits to return to Uncle Vincent!!), oh and helping with the grocery shopping too!

Thanks to Jappo for helping collect money!

Thanks to Boyan for helping to cook even though he didn't eat.

Thanks to everybody who helped out in a way or another to make the Steak Party a success!!

Oh .. and not forgetting Chris, our master chef, without whom the party might never have been realized! (Block C has no table knifes, steaks are damn expensive from super market, and my sub-par culinary skills are definitely not good enough to produce what we did tonight)

Big shout out to our other chefs - Samson, CK, Boyan, Japheth, Me (haha), and anyone I left out; it's 3am, give me a break.

Thanks thanks thanks thanks to everybody who trusted us enough to part with their $12 and come for our party!

Next time, more beer! And hopefully some wine; both to drink , and to marinate the steaks in! Red wine + rosemary + basil ... yummy.

Here are some pics .. the rest are with Joyce I believe!

The goods =)

All ready to chop up the block of beef

Cooking's tiring. =)
