The remaining pictures from the first restaurant. Mojo Picón De Sergio which, is visited by locals and tourists from Puerto De La Cruz.

That looks mega.

Although the shrimp and mushroom salad feels a bit wierd in Western cuisine?

I guess it works in Chinese and Thai food.

[Carl_VivaEspana]

I am not an expert yet but it's a Galician salad.

Need go cook a steak for 5 (so around 1kg) that will be the other side of medium, no pink on show.

Something fatty, but what and where from?

Are you cooking for children?

It‘s a waste of steak, but I‘d be going for a ribeye and dry brine and reverse sear to make the best of a bad job. Cote de Boeuf would also work, but obviously factor in the weight of the bone.

Local butcher for sourcing?

You'll be wanting to weigh without a bone, which for 5 adults (I'd aim for more like 300g uncooked weight FYI) takes you out of range of most 'steaks' and into roasting joints.

As the other chap says, I'd be looking at a couple of beef ribs, somewhere in the 2kg region.

Alternatively, you could do 2x cote de boeufs if you wanted the theatre of cooking steak.

32 day aged fun from Lidl,

yumm...

I know it's not home cooking, but I thought I'd appeal to the internet here, at the core of beefy knowledge, instead of a holiday thread......

Off to Florence soon and there's only one thing on my mind - bistecca alla fiorentina

Any personal experiences of good restaurants to enjoy this fine dish?

Honestly, I wouldn't do steak - at least not in the western way.

Either braise some short ribs or look at asian ways of cooking beef (very thinly cut, marinated, cooked quickly but all the way through e.g. Korean bbq)

I'm not sure if a steak baguette counts as "served a la man", but here we are. Costco sirloin, out of the fridge for a couple of hours, 4 mins each side in a scorching pan, basted and rested. Part baked baguette, dijon and ketchup, job jobbed.

[Random_Person]

What is a la man anyway?

I can post a meal I had at Coworth Park a couple years ago, cote do boeuf I believe.

It was good. I have probably eaten around 5000 steaks in my life, and it was like, 4750.

[Random_Person]

The other 250 being in Cape Town, now they were memorable. And I was like around 10.

If you're going with a baguette you may as well go the whole way and do Philly cheese steak , mit onions peppers cheese and au jeu .

It's a fair cop guvnor

What now?

Picked these up in Costco at lunchtime, wife is out on Saturday so going to cook one of these up for my dinner. They're very thick so I expect there'll be leftovers for a steak sandwich on Sunday.

Presume a dry brine overnight and reverse sear will do the trick?
