In my quest to 'up my steak game' I have purchased:
1: Cast iron pan - I was using a tefal non-stick and it's not ideal, its also become convex, so any oil or rendered fat, pools around the circumference, leaving the center of the pan high and dry, so hopefully I'll get some good gainz from this upgrade, in terms of flatness, and heat retention.
2: A 460g (just over 16oz) lump of fillet steak from the local butcher, after finding supermarket meat a bit hit and miss... cost £27 quid though, almost as much as my cast iron pan!!! I almost had a heart attack!!! I can probaly get 2 portions out of it though. Or maybe I'll justeat the whole thing at once

That’s one lean piece of meat.
If you are cooking that steak on that pan as the 1st thing....and coming from Teflon.
DO NOT, and I mean, DO NOT touch it AT ALL, for a few minutes after placing the meat on. It will stick like a tongue on a frozen lampost.

Yeah I did reverse sear last attempt.. oven to 150c an gas mark 1.5, set meat probe to alarm at 55c, and put steak & probe in then oven,
Was ok but I couldn't get a decent sear on the steak without overcooking the rest of it, so I compromised and and took the meat out of the pan before it was 'too well done', but that meant the 'sear' wasnt really much of a sear, and I got a little too much 'grey banding'.
it's a learning curve, but hopefully this new pan will help, as it won't cool down as much as the thinner pan when I drop the steak into it.

Oh wow, love it.Asked a good friend to make a plinth for my Whisky in my garage, came out amazing. Scottish Oak, solid beast. Need to buy more Whisky!
This is just the drinking one, I try and keep the better bottles out of sight
Love it. Over 1.8m wide, three tiers with the edge left, looks so good and weighs a ton
Absolute bargain prereg countryman JCW level 3 basically 10k off list for it coming today on a 74 plate rather than 25 arriving with a whopping 21 miles on the clock
300hp 4wd and a cost to change of around £800 from a 2 1/2yr old SQ2
New car day

I'm not particularly a fan of these larger minis but I like the wheels and red & black colour combo on that. Enjoy!
They're great for smash burgers too! Though I always get a tonne of smoke when doing it - so it's a windows and door open jobby

New headphones.
Yeah you have to get the pan so hot it's about to burst into flames - kitchen door and window is open when i do a steak - and I make sure I've got a long pokey thing to poke the smoke alarm if needs be!

Details? Do you have a collection of them?
Helmet shot. I've upped my nerd factor with this one.
