Went to the butchers for some nice steaks.

Treated myself to a couple of bottles of nice chianti.

I heartily recommend the Da Vinci chianti from Vinci, famous for being the birthplace of Leonardo.

Simple sirloin steaks, large mushrooms and peppercorn sauce.

I was not hungry, at all. I am now starverating!

It was just something quick and easy.

No prep other than to season the steak and let come to room temp before cooking.

Isn’t Chianti a bit light to go with a steak?

I have a bone-in ribeye in my freezer I’m finishing this weekend, going to pick this up to go with it:

Any day that ends with Chianti is a good day.

sirloin tips? (I really like the sirloins - not quite as tender as some other cuts but super flavor..) Chianti is underrated - the sangiovesse grape makes a really nice dry blush as well.

It went really well.

Saying that I often have a pinot grigio with a steak when I go out.

I’ve always been a person to say drink what you want with what you want though.

Valpolicella is a really good region. I had a Vincini Amerone from there. It was really good.

So true.

No real tips. It is a firmer piece as you say so I just cook it three minutes each side and then let it rest and serve.

If I put more effort in I could of made it more substantial but it was good.

Sometimes good and simple is the way to go.
