PH Cooking Competition #29 - STEAK

[Pixel-Snapper]

Happy new year to everyone at F,D&R.

Lets get the year off to a good start with the inaugural PH Cooking Competition of 2013.

But first, lets reminded ourselves of the guidelines. I've made some changes to try out for this month, if anyone has any other recommendations feel free to speak up.

* THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT ARE AS FOLLOWS*

• One entry per person, must be cooked within competition time frame.
• No more than 3 photos to be entered unless stated by the theme setter.
• Food must be prepare by yourself as much as possible IE not putting a pre packed goat curry in the microwave.
• The competition will run until the last Sunday of the month, once the new theme has be set by the last winner.
• The poll will commence asap preferably the Monday and voting will last for a week.
• Should there be more than 12 entrants, instead of a poll we shall adopt a tabling system setup within a seperate thread.

The theme for this month is Steak.

Be it what you will everyone loves a good steak now and again, looking at the POYD thread some more often than others . In it's most generalist of forms 'Steak' is commonly just a name for a type of cut which is perpendicular to the muscle fibers or spine, depending if your produce is meat or fish.

Your mission if you choice to accept it! is to produce a dish that includes a form of Steak.

Godspeed my fellow cooks.


As bob obviously didn't read the rules The closing date for entry's is Sunday the 27th January!

Yes both Mr.illmonkey.

This thread is to enter your dish and discuss the weather should you wish.

Correct. One entry per person. Must be cooked within the competition time frame no posting pictures from last year your only cheating yourself.

Can we prepare & post more than one dish in the thread but choose just one final entry?

For example, by coincidence I'm about to put a steak chilli in my slow cooker, but at the weekend I may choose to prepare a Chateaubriand with a fine green bean.

I'm going to say yes.

At least I think this is allowed?

[illmonkey]

That'd get messy, no? Although it'll result in everyone posting pictures only on the last day of the challenge, in case they have steak further into the month.

Put them all in the "Photo of your dinner" thread and then post your chosen dish here.

What tends to happen is that you post your entry into this thread, I will then start another thread with the final picture and who's cooked it, we then vote in the new thread.

If you post something and changed your mind and wanted to post something else just edit your entry pictures. Just make sure that you do this before Sunday 27th Jan as I will be setting up the poll then.

Also does the steak have to come from a Mooo or could it come from Quack?

I assume if anyone posts a well-done steak they're disqualified?

Didn't know you can get a steak from a chicken????

I thought your choice would be beef, lamb, pork or fish to be honest, never heard of a chicken steak before.
