Semolina works well too.

There's an echo in here...

Beef and ale stew done in the slow cooker, seriously tasty.

Those roasties look the bks and the meats not half bad either.

Those roasties do look great.

I've bought some goose fat to have a go at roast potatoes this week. 9 euros a small jar though

I prefer beef dripping over goose fat for roasties.

I used olive oil. Duck fat is awesome though!

Would have been cheaper to buy a goose!

Will see how it goes - I normally just use olive oil too.

I like most of my steaks still mooing. Just smack it 'til it ceases to moo and I'm happy.
Definitely a primal thing!

A gastropub chef said once - order your steak well done and you will get the crappiest cut they've got.

It's really not a primal thing. People perceive it to be and think it makes them look manly. I think being manly makes you look manly

Your gastropub chef mate... Does he still work in the food industry? Tell him he needs to learn how to cook meat properly and not just what looks good on a dish.

The beef above is seriously undercooked. I'm just saying.

Topside from the local butchers, £11 a kilo. Fan bloody tactic (pun intended), best beef I've ever had.

Seriously.. That's not cooked!

Absolutely ridiculous!

I really hope this silly fad dies out and meat starts being cooked again!

I really hope this silly fad dies out and people stop overcooking and ruining meat.

I'm alive still, so it isn't undercooked, maybe it's just undercooked for some opinions. I can assure you it was most defienlty cooked, I put it in the oven for 30 minutes and rested it for 10.

Ridiculous? Give over. It's meat.

I couldn't have eaten that. Needs more browning on the outside, and just a few more mm of 'cooked-ness', imho.

However rather undercooked than overcooked.

A slice of unexpectedly rare meat can always be briefly flashed off in a hot pan, however overcooked can't be rescued.

[illmonkey]

You'll be happy to know the left overs went in a beef curry and it got well and truly cooked.

MC, I suppose it could have have a sear in a hot pan for a few minutes to get some colour on the outside. Crispy end bits are my favourite.

Method?

Looks amazing.

Seal in pan of butter, oven, plate....

Replace method with timings, smart bum!

Sear in a pan until it's browned enough. Oven at anything between 160 and 210 until it's cooked to your liking, prob 12-18 mins. Plate.

There's really no strict method with this type of cooking.

Dinner for one tonight.

Cottage pie.



Methord = chuck stuff in, fry, mash boiled potatos, pie dish, oven 200c 20 minutes.

Done

Jim. You're wrong. Just saying...

With all these things it really is a matter of personal taste. I like beef very, very rare - but with the texture just (just!) turned from "raw" to "cooked".

But others will like theirs differently - and that's OK! Everything from "blue" to "well done". Merits in each.

Undercooked for your tastes most certainly. I'm looking at it and thinking - "yum"!

Yes.. Fair one I suppose. It is personal taste.

What annoys me (I don't know why it annoys me ) is when people think it makes them look like a cave man eating it pink or the people who say a steak loses its flavour after medium, It doesn't.. Learn to cook it properly. Or.. The chefs who cook it pink just to look good in a photo.


... Just saying

[fttm]

Got to say I'm with Jim on this subject , that topside looked more like roadkill than supper .

Wot they said

I was slightly disappointed that I didn't leave it longer on the hob to render more of the fat but nevertheless it was still very tasty.
