So who’s having steak for tea tonight?
It's bog roll and Boris Johnson day around here.
steak's no good on its own
Ever in hope, but it’s my birthday in a couple of weeks, so might have to wait until then...
Make sure you wash it first.
Grasmere steak pie tonight
steak’s no good on its own
Some sort of sauce?

Sausage blackpudding and liver , red sauce.
Eat meet and drink bare is my plan.
Will do steak and chips next week.
This week is just chicken soup.
I currently have a 600g tomahawk steak on order, this whole not being able to fly home due to corona virus has its upsides.
Re that Guardian article I would tend to agree with Dr Alexander - "My personal opinion is we should interpret these results not as the need to become vegan overnight, but rather to moderate our [meat] consumption".
So the occasional 600g steak should be OK, just don't do it every day!
Exactly my point
Chicken stock (home made if poss, not too salty if a cube), red wine, chopped shallots, chopped mushrooms (dried ceps if poss) splash of Creme de Cassis (optional) all boiled down together till syrupy makes a great sauce. Add a bit of butter or pan juice to add "polish" at the end.
Or, put your pepper grinder to the coarsest setting and cover the steak in crushed peppercorns. Fry in butter and oil, deglaze the pan with white wine, brandy, whisky (whatever you've got) dollop in some double cream and maybe a bit of redcurrant jelly (or strawberry jam etc.)
In all cases, rest the steak for as long as you can aftrer frying.
I do like to rest my beef after it's been well glazed.
yep, Steak, jacket spud, tomatoes and mushrooms.
It's great when there are two totally diffferent conversations going on... 🙂
-
Personally I like my steak with just its natural juices and chips - a case of less is more.
And in that vein, the most important criterion is that the steak must be capable of being resuscitated when it comes out of the pan - seared on the outside, still beating red on the inside.
But on the rare occasions I am tempted by a sauce, that peppercorn sauce is the one.
Got a 1/4 of a dexter in the freezer. A customer keeps them on his land, grass fed, low intensity and high welfare. Very tasty. Sous vide then very hot pan for a couple of seconds on each side. Last night was a couple of bits of rump and a sirloin between the four of us with new pots and veg. Nom, nom.
My local butcher has some Dexter hanging and will be cutting it Tuesday. Lots ordered.
I fear the direction of this thread has rather gone off target...
Yeah some clearly have even less chance than me as they haven’t a clue what the 14th March.
No chance here - I love one, but the wife doesn't like the idea of chewing on a lump of meat no matter how how you dress it up.
In fact we're almost veggie these days. Very different to when we first met - she was mad for my chicken in west country ale sauce back then.
I'm doubling down as it's me birthday tomorrow.
I'll be having a ribeye with eggs and I'll probably have 2 tommorrow after the Wilmslow half.
of course. what else do you have on march 14th. it's not vegan and blowj#b day is it?

Is that a complete sentence?
Premature punctuation

Oh that is good

Yup. I got yet another phone call as I was typing and hit submit by mistake. 😂
Oh that is good
I was happier with the second bit TBH
More like pancake day here 😐
Hmmmm.....
The Wife phoned me at work earlier. Said she'd been to the butchers and got me a slab of rib eye.
I had pizza for tea.
Hmmmmmm.....
Twice.
Not a sausage🙁
I had a Chateuabriand and basically did what J-R said above.
Just a bit of Dijon mustard on the side, frites and and petite pois a letuvee

So what was it supposed to say?

...is about
Such a cliffhanger.
Anyway I had pasta.
Didn’t get the steak as I’m veggie, the other part however 😉.
Had what looked like a nice bit of rump, forgot to turn the pan heat down so over cooked it (I like it just past still mooing) and it was all unchewable gristle anyway, most disappointing! Oh well, chips and peas were alright!
Had what looked like a nice bit of rump
Lucky boy! I prefer mine pink as well, but if it does go a bit beyond I'll still enjoy it. A liberal dollop of butter can rescue it if it's really too tough, so I've heard.

Tossing in the kitchen?
Sausage casserole here. I threw in some quorn and lentils for me 👍. Then half a bar of galaxy caramel.
