Not well documented but in the UK every restaurant has to by law have a secret hidden button for the waiter/waitress to press whenever anybody orders steak over medium rare. This alerts Operation Yewtree and Interpol.

Steak done properly is food of the gods, not over-rated at all. Lobster is absolutely superb as well.

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.

I think it's time for a land invasion.

I just wrote a tip for cooking steaks in the other thread.
I like steak with pepper sauce or a nice red wine sauce, or Jus.
By the way, whenever making a Wine sauce, red or white, just before serving give the sauce a small splash of wine. It lifts it again from the reduction stage.
Marco Pier White does it

I remember watching a cookery programme and the chefs on it both said they would refuse to cook a steak if it was ordered to be "well done"

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

It was years ago mate. Was on a company incentive trip thing, but iirc it was on the then quite new waterfront development. If thats now called Camps Bay, it may well have been. When we went on those trips, the company tended to use the finest hotels, safari parks, etc etc they could find.

We were in the Mount Nelson for 5 nights, then flown to a safari park north of Port Elizabeth for another few days. We were the only visitors there. Pinda or sommet. Mental times really.

When they arranged another one to Barbados, the lads who went golfing all had a hole with Gary Sobers ffs.

Remember when Beckham asked for tomato ketchup in the Ivy in London.

I just saw the post, great tips. Once again it seems you are as talented in the kitchen as you are capturing images.

Sainsbury’s do these, they’re very nice

When my kids were little, about 4 and 8 respectively, we went for Sunday lunch with friends at allegedly the best Chinese restaurant in County Durham (massively overrated in my opinion, I've had better food from a Liverpool Chinese chippy but, no competition so they can serve bang average food at extortionate prices) We ordered crispy duck. My kids asked the waiter could they have ketchup instead of hoisin sauce for their duck because they didn't like hoisin. The waiter almost p*ss*d himself laughing and duly brought out a little bowl of ketchup for them. The friends we were with still talk about that occasion some 20 years later!

At this second I’m sat in the kebab shop waiting for my order

Hahaha, that's so American. My husband likes at times to put ketchup on his steak, it drives me nuts. Such a sacrilege.

The left overs of the authentic home-made Indian curry I made yesterday, with some sour dough bread. It's full of veg, beef and fish, so a nice mix.

Nice, love curry the day after it was made. The flavours all seem to have mingled together better.

I agree, there are some dishes that taste even better a day after they are cook and curry is one of them.

We always do that when we have a curry itch.

Always order a 1/2 chicken tandoori, and a lamb kahari, ("Ah, Mr Roydo, see you soon"). Have the chicken that night, and the kahari the next. And sainsburys stock dead ace small Naan breads, so have them as well.
