Cherry tomatoes and wedges mmm.
To be honest I think a baked potato is probably the worst thing to have with a steak. Texture-wise, you're eating stodge, with more stodge.Baked potato and asparagus
you need nothing more![]()
I'm cooking steak on Sunday as well. Haven't decided what cut yet. Depends how rich I'm feeling as I either want to do 24hr at 50degrees or 2hours at 57degrees.

For the potatoes it's either got to be proper frites, or a dauphinoise. For the veg either a little watercress garnish, or sautéed garlic spinach.
I recently went here: http://www.cattlegridrestaurant.com. I had been before and had the sirloin which was stunning. I took the girlfriend, we both tried the rump and it was actually awful. I was really dissapointed. Hers although cooked perfect, was burnt on the outside (no, i dont mean charred.. it tasted of burnt) and mine was a really fatty/chewy cut. However i did try the haggis on mine and have now dcided that that is easily the best topping for a steak. It's lovely and peppery, it goes perfect. Can you buy haggis in a supermarket?![]()

Chips with steak is rubbish though, proper chips just don't quite cut it, gay chips (french fries) don't and oven chips certainly don't. Just to plain and boring, chips belong with a nice bit of fish, or some sausages or something.
Daupinious is just too rich to go with steak, it's too overpowering and creamy.
Triple cooked, thick cut chips = ultimate steak companion.
so how much do the weigh then KaHn?
you make me want to go to Meetmeat.be tonight for dinner![]()
Chips from the chippy, massive fat T-bone steak, mushroom, bernaise sauce... Mmmmm... I'm hungry now![]()
