Hey guys (and the few gals)

Just thought I would show you what I will be tucking into at some point today. The meat was bought from a local butchers who do a lot of organic meat.

So lets see what the rest of you are eating.

Thats a hefty whack of meat! How much did it cost for those (pre kilo if you have the info) just so I can compare the cost to that of a slice in a supermarket ^

2? Sod that - all for me! :D

Looks like good cuts of meat - I approve.

I hope you'll cook them nice and blue and don't murder it by over cooking it!

Never cook my own steak over rare/blue.

Will be cooked in a very hot griddle for around 15 sec each side and then seal the sides, the over will be pre-heated to around 120 and then cooked in there for about 8-9 min (yes i do time it)

Brought out to rest for 5min while I finish heating the plates and cooking the asparagus, then back into the oven with a blue cheese crust to finish off.

Will be served with new potatoes as well.

I'm off meat cooked blue at the moment. I find I can get more flavour into it by cooking it rare and you don't risk it having a tough flavourless inside. Especially with cuts that haven't been hung long enough *cough most supermarket meat*. Strangely I have had some really good stuff from the supermarket, it was the "Tesco Finest" but it was at the end of its date on the butcher's so it had dried down a bit and it was fantastic.
 
That is a nice sizeable chunk of meat, looks a bit red though.
MMM steaK, I hope you will be making some onion rings and garlic mushrooms to go with that. Depending on the qaulity of the steak, it should be served blue. Although poorer quality meats you can get more flavour and better texture by cooking them more

As for me at sometime today/tomorrow I've got a lot of cooking.
Lamb patia
Kemma Nan
Onion Bahjis
Harrisa lamb and apricot
And a couple of hoi-sin and chicken pizzas (After buying os much lamb I couldn't afford duck)

All be portioned out and frozen down, for quick sublime meals.

The picture make it looks more red than it is.

I've had steak from this butchers before and I must admit it the nicest steak I've had (that I've then cooked myself).

If anyone is in Aberdeen its the butchers on Castlegate.
