I guess "not picking on those who can be bothered to enter if you haven't bothered to enter yourself" would be a good start.

Hardly picking on I even qualified it by saying 'Whilst I accept its cheeky to say given I haven't entered' it was more an observation than anything. I appear to have started cottygate

if its extended until the weekend then ill try and enter into the spirit of things too.

The raw meat.



Into the water bath - for an 18 hr cook at 70 degrees C.



The plated dish, ( after giving the meat a finish with a blow torch for flavour / colour)

Beef Flank with mash, carrots and broccoli. Served with a Port gravy.

Just started mine with 3 kilos of trimmed beef cheeks in a marinate for the morning.

Ok I realise I dropped the ball in using pre-made meatballs for my previous submission I pulled the entry as I didn't feel it was in the spirit of the competition.

I wasn't going to submit a replacement as I was only doing a chili this weekend. But I thought as I had resurrected the comp I should at least submit something. Rather than chop everything very fine I like to keep things chunky.

Chunky chilli

Well, I thought I'd go a bit off piste and trust others tastes. Followed the recipe religiously despite my reservations.

Beef with pear, orange and chocolate...

So here we go, boring entry i know but tasted amazing. Loads left for tomorrow too. And know I didn't create the bread from scratch but this is about beef.

If a meat based recipe calls for fruit, sugar or chocolate I usually leave it out. At a push lemon with chicken and apple with pork but thats about it.

I took the recipe from Michel Roux Jnr who insisted on TV that "it worked".

Maybe if he cooked it LOL
