I have copy and pasted this great recipe that I had posted on the fillet of beef thread.
ROAST BEEF FILLET WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY
1. 25kg-piece beef eye fillet or 2 (600g each) beef fillets, trimmed 1/2 small bunch fresh rosemary 60ml (1/4 cup) light olive oil 2 large garlic cloves, crushed Salt & freshly ground black pepper 2 tsp light olive oil, extra Creamed honey mustard to serve
Preheat oven to 240°C. Tie the beef at regular intervals with unwaxed white kitchen string to secure. Reserve 3 whole sprigs of rosemary. Coarsely chop 1 tbs of the remaining rosemary. Combine the chopped rosemary, oil and garlic in a small bowl. Rub the rosemary mixture over the beef. Thread the reserved rosemary sprigs under the string on the beef. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the extra oil in a roasting pan over high heat. Add the beef and cook, turning occasionally, for 6 minutes or until brown all over. Roast in oven, basting regularly with pan juices, for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking.
Remove beef from baking pan and transfer to a plate. Cover with foil and set aside for 10-15 minutes to rest.
Remove string and rosemary sprigs from the beef. Carve the beef across the grain into thick slices. Place on a serving platter and serve immediately with creamed honey mustard.

Sweet and sour pork
Okay the key ingredients are the sauce and the coating on the pork, that’s what makes it!
So do what vege you like to have in it here is the coating first:
Mix 2 teaspoons of sugar with 1 ½tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 egg yolk mix to combine the marinate the cubed pork in this, you may need to double it depending on how much pork you are using – marinate for at least 1 hour
Then drain it (save the mix) and lightly dust the pieces of pork in cornflour then shallow pan fry
This is how you get the pork like at the takeaway
Once you cook the pork set aside and stir fry your vege, then add the juice from a can of 470g pineapple with the left over marinade add 1 ½ teaspoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce ¼ cup of vinegar, 1 chicken stock cube blend a little cornflour with water and add to thicken the sauce – then add the pineapple.
Enjoy
Oh btw if you like the noodles they do, its time consuming but the way to get them is to boil then drain the noodles for ½ day on a cake rack covered with a tea towel and dry them out, then you stir fry and done! Of course add ya vege you want and some oyster sauce, ginger and garlic and a little soy sauce

Be careful Skinny. It's against Trade Me's rules to link to a website that has a forum where people can make contact through.
