As long as it fills her up and satisfys it doesn't matter how you do it.

Good read

Q: My dainty aunt likes her meat rare, but my tempestuous brother prefers his well-done. What's an understanding and generous host to do?

First off, you should wonder how your brother was created out of the same genetic material as you. After that, you should take his portion from the perfectly medium-rare beef, slice it, and either toss it in the microwave for a few minutes, or back into the oven until it is the desired shade of dry.

Haha

Yup that article is awesome, followed it at Christmas for a 3 rib roast and it came out absolutely perfect.

Dried it off as much as I can with kitchen roll then salted it and put it on a rack in the fridge till tonight.

Bought some charcoal. Think I'm going to bbq it hot

The little one is for the bin lids

I did that once in a butchers.

Can I have a nice big piece of Fillet.

Certainly Sir how much (whilst putting the meat on the board) I quickly said yeah that much.

He looked at me an weighed it and laughed when he said £195.

I said maybe NOT quite so much

I would love to BBQ that and then just go full on Neanderthal on its ass.

Just wanted to post to express my appreciation of the excellent title

Not falling for that

Right so we've given up on the rib till tomorrow and decided to make Hawksmoor burgers and chips.

Funny old bun recipe

 

[Scottland]

Interesting, although I can see where it's coming from - will have to try making them. Which Hawksmoor book is that? I don't recall seeing that recipe in mine.

 

[Maccapacca]

It's a good read not just recipes

 

[Scottland]

It's a good read not just recipes

Yeah that's the one I have, I'll have to have another look for that bun recipe - hope they turn out well

 

[Maccapacca]

Need to read the recipes on full first

3 hrs later and they still.need an hour to rise before baking

The difference a night in the fridge exposed and salted does
