Your menú for tonight?

Thanks for clarifying.

Ribeye is my favorite cut of meat to put on the grill, or like people in the UK would say to BBQ.

Ribeye is my preferred cut too. Growing up my mum was not a fan of red meat, and my dad would never deviate from fillet done medium rare... Mrs. Tree introduced me to the perfection that is ribeye steak seared blue and I've never looked back.

Ha, like a tapas kind of concept. Different small food items to eat instead of just one big meal. I like the idea, I need to have more picnics at my house.

Exactly. We do the same with tapas, which we make from scratch, so thats called a Tapas Bar in our house.

"Fancy a Tapas Bar Nik?"

"Aye, sound Roydo".

Then we have something else in common besides the Blues Mrs. Tree knows well. My husband was the one who introduced me to seared ribeye steak, in Colombia people have a tendency to like their steak cook well-done and it totally ruins it.

Thats a kin BAN.

Yeah, I have to agree. There are cuts that are actually better rare than blue, but there isn't a steak in existence that needs cooking beyond rare.

To be clear, blue ribeye is the best.

My gf is half Portuguese and it's the same there. Very thin cuts too.

Although, to me, steak is the most overrated food going.

Try caviar.

Or oysters.

Lobster thermador I will concede is absolutely worth the hype.

I love oysters, not sure if I have had caviar. I love lobster but not had thermador.

I tend to agree, but had a bife de chorizo in Buenos Aires once and it was one of the best things I've ever tasted. No idea what they did to it.

Caviar is just very expensive, cos its rare. Only had one lobster, and it was a thermador cos I was in a smashing restaurant in Cape Town and someone else was picking up the tab. It was sensational.

Tonight we are having Colcannon cottage pie - which is basically normal cottage pie with the addition of kale, spring onions and cheese in the potato topping.

Not the Codfather, in Camp's Bay, by any chance? Best seafood restaurant I've ever visited.

Have a look for a recipe, it sounds amazing and is beautiful but very simple to make, Thermador I mean

That's exactly how it is in Colombia people like it very thin and cooked all the way, it totally ruins the steak and it makes it more chewy.

I can go weeks without having a steak but there at times that my body just craves the iron and that's when a tasty ribeye comes to mind.

 

[roydo]

spring onions and cheese in the potato topping.

Sounds ace that. Usually have cheese on top, but it in the mash with a crunchy spring onion would be delicious.

This is one of my fave threads on here, but Soooooo #mumsnet!!
