Steaks

Went out last night for a meal - friend got rib-eye steak (it was massie) I got fillet steak - no matter - friend never complains - but both were too tough.

I find when I order steak in a restaurant every single one of them tough - time is of the essence with steak they need to be cooked slowly . We took them home and Mr Maxie will have a lovely meal today. Never ever will I get steak from restaurants. This is every single time and you say when why go for it - but I try to give the steak a chance cos you get tired of chicken etc.

I cook fillet steak (from time to time and my god it would melt in your mouth)

do not believe this business - flipping steak round for these few mins then to the other side - then rest - rest my ass - sorry.

was with my friend i haven't really seen for a year or so so we were too tired to cook - she didn't (I didn't know she was coming) so she didn't arrive until after 8pm. When I go to a restaurant I like to eat what I want to eat not what others advise - sorry.

I love my steak very very very rare and very seldom have it in a restaurant because no matter how much I stress I literally want it waved over the pan, it is usually cooked too much for me. A good steak (fillet, rib eye, sirloin and even rump), when I cook it myself, is just done for a couple of minutes on either side, then left to rest for two or three minutes and it's always perfect for me. The only steak I cook slowly is any kind of stewing steak

3 to 4 minutes each side and rest for 7/8 mins perfect medium rare.
