What a clown he is.
A total tit.

Worse still are the customers paying over the odds to pander to his arsery.
Pretentious idiots. 1000 usd for some of his steaks. The Venezuela president lives the place
A grand for a steak?! Didn't realise they were that much, stone me lol!
Some signature steaks. But overall very expensive

With drinks typically £130 per head which is very high.

If you don’t like steak you can have spaghetti for £58. Or a side salad for £20. The reviews are pretty bad too.

so i bought 4 sirloins yesterday, one for me, the other for my mum, brother and sister in law, told them you guys cook your 3 however you want it. I take out their steaks to get to room temp. I come back later to see all 3 steaks are put into a cold large flat non-stick pan with no oil, no salt, no pepper and they were never patted dry. all in prep for when they would heat it up

I have never so triggered in my life.

it felt wrong cooking steaks 2-3 minutes per side. but that's how they want theirs done...they even had it with ketchup and mayo.

Don't worry about it. Everyone likes food cooked "how they like it". That may mean what others would call ruining it and some would enjoy.

Putting aside the cremated vs. rare/medium steak arguments there is a whole science behind different interpretations of flavour.

It took me about 15 years to wean Mrs21 off ketchup with her steak.

(I'm sure she still grabs a bottle if I'm not around)

T-Bone Steak Alert....

I just fancied (after watching some IG videos), doing a huge T-Bone steak over the coals.
My usual 'go-to' steak is a thick piece of rib-eye, which i'll cook in the Roccbox for about 30 seconds a side at max-temp, flipping twice, then leaving to rest for 10 minutes.

This was real fun to cook, if not a little challenging, as the fillet cooks a hell of a lot quicker than the thicker sirloin side.
I was given a 'Looflighter' for my birthday recently, so fired the Oklahoma Joe up, got the coals white hot, then chucked this bad boy on, nothing other than a bit of oil & some sea salt.
Seared on the direct heat, then cooked for 10-15 minutes in-direct to cook through, with a final rest.
Finished with some butter, a healthy dose of garlic & some parsley.

I didn't get a finished weight, but start weight was a little under 1.2kg. i've also used a tape to give you some size of it!

I do have an IG page i dabble with: smokednboned if anyone fancies a follow smile

A mate gave me some (I think) flank steaks that came out of an assorted BBQ steak pack.
Cooked on a griddle pan (but not hot enough as there isn't define griddle lines) for 2 1/2 minutes each side just with salt, pepper and olive oil.
IMO as tender as a fillet steak but with much more taste, every time I chewed the steak the beef taste came out.

T-Bone steak is so difficult to cook well, I reckon you've done a cracking job there. Looks delicious.

cheeky t Bone ok not as big as some on here but still a fair size.

Had cooked peppers and them made a mushroom sauce with cream and whisky.

Little bit of salt on the meat either side with a very light oil. Hot as pan and sear both sides then heat down and cook a bit longer on each side
and then rested the steak.

lovely it was too

It was a touch tricky, i did cheat & use 2 probes (Inkbird).
the smaller side was about 10-15'F ahead of thicker side at all times, i did only like a small portion of the grll, so i was able to keep the fillet side to the 'cool side' of the grill & the thicker part closer to the coals, it was a bit nerve wracking watching the temps rise quite quickly though.

Whilst it was fun & something different to cook, i'm still firmly in the rib-eye camp.

I'm just popping in to say that, this very evening, I plan to make the best possible use of a 90 day aged bone in rib of beef. Pics will most definitely follow.

The supermarket across the street from my office has a lot of special offers at the moment.
I bought a slab of Uruguayan tri-tip steak ("colitas de cuadril") at lunchtime = 1.2kg for €24.

Not entirely sure now what I'm going to do with it since my wife won't eat steaks >200g, 1 daughter won't eat a steak as a piece of meat alone (will in burritos, fajitas, etc.) and the other daughter's vegetarian.... Oh, well. Just for me then ??!!



ETA: I cut it into steaks each around 160-180g / piece
I cooked one last night. Very tasty, but it didn't take a good photo, hence it's not embarrassing me on here! laugh

After a day clearing the garage out, wifey determined we should have steak for tea.... laugh

Two thirty-day aged steaks from Aldi, one sirloin, one fillet, griddle pan then rested.

Home made chips and peas (as I fancied an easy life after a day of toil :-)), oh and fried onions on top....





Money shot....

Morrisons meat is pretty good, the thick cut ribeye is for me and the fillet for her.


In the pan.


On the plate with a whiskey/pepper cream sauce, truffled mushrooms, artichoke hearts and thick cut gastro chips.
