Don't think you removed enough smut then. But, in a post about beef, it was bound to happen.

That steak looks like the pictures you see on menus and restaurant ads, just perfect.

That looks like what we call porterhouse over here, which should always be very tender.

I'd say u cooked that perfectly bbro. Couldn't have done better myself, and i have cooked a lot of steaks in my time. Good job!

Thanks Ali - I discovered that if I take it off when I think it should stay on a few more minutes, I am good - lol

To me it looks lush.
It would make Mum heave though.

I'd say horses for courses but in the light of the recent scandal I daren't!

Needless to say you're cooking when we come to visit. Yumyum.

Thanks everyone!

I finished it for lunch today - chopped into chunks with more of the pasta and some frozen corn. I didn't even heat up the beef. It was glorious cold......why don't I eat beef often again???? I have a feeling that I didn't cook it the right way. When I was little, my mom always ordered well-done for me. I was introduced to medium in my college years, but still can't make a tasty roast to save my life. I will stick to steak

You know what?
I give up.
My post wasn't amazing or insightful but I like to think it was at least readable.

These days when I post, the Cellar crashes.
Previously, I've been able to come back and yes, my post is there.
This time, not.

I am going on strike.

That must be it UT!

Sundae - you mean the post about beef and the one after? I can see both - don't go!!! I don't want to be the one that started the thread to cause you to leave - there will be a coup!!

Bbro, a good rule of thumb for any roast is to cook it low and slow. For example, a leg of pork you might cook for 6 hours or more depending on the size. What happens during this slow roasting is all the sinue starts to break down, which means the flesh starts to fall apart. Literally. Thats usually what you want with a nice juicy piece of roast meat.

The Cellar at the moment is crashing more times than Lindsay Lohan.
May make poor old Ste come and have a look at it with marvellous trechy eyes.

IT Consultants are never off duty I'm afraid.
