Cooking Greg’s creamy caper sauce

Cooking Greg’s creamy caper sauce wasn’t really anything new or special. Making a cream sauce is pretty routine but watching this video last week gave me an idea for how I was going to enjoy my leftover rib eye beef and leftover lamb shoulder. I find Greg’s videos pretty funny. His YouTube channel has a pretty good reach and it demonstrates how with persistence and dedication you can make a success from meagre resources.

Saturday started as Saturdays do with grocery shopping and then a walk around Lake Ginninderra. I shot some photographs while I was out and about.

For lunch I had some Coles smoked salmon and feta stuffed peppers on Philadelphia cream cheese slathered Vita-Weat biscuits.

In the afternoon I enjoyed the mild thunderstorm that Canberra experienced.

For dinner I had thawed the beef and lamb in the Foodsaver bags. Normally I would eat the meat after I’d heated the bags in a saucepan of hot water for about 30 minutes but this time I seared each side of meat in a hot frying pan with browning butter.

  1. I believe the sauce was a wonderful addition to your rib eye beef and lamb shoulder? The Feta stuffed peppers with smoked salmon on Vita-Weat were perfect! And you took good photos of the lake. Do you usually walk around it?

    1. Thank you Karen. The sauce was nice. The lake has an easy perimeter of 6 km. If you follow the shore line and include the little peninsula it is 7 km. It is deceptively large.
