Neilp Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I'm a massive fan of steak and tend to eat steak for most meals. Personally a fillet steak is my favourite in terms of taste and tenderness. I do however like a steak regardless of cut. If I have a fillet steak I usually eat it butterflied and rare or blue depending on how good the restaurant is. This is a fillet from my favourite Italian restaurant. So I guess the question is, how do you eat yours? Edited October 31, 2013 by Neilp 3 Quote
Grundy Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Would you like some steak with that blood 2 Quote
AliveBoy Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Not really a fan of a huge piece of meat, I don't swing that way But seriously, I don't really like beef, only if its being pretty much blended into something like a lasagne or a cottage pie and occasionally a burger, but not really. Quote
370Ad Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Big fan of steak myself too....would definitely call myself a 'foodie'. I like mine medium rare with a small side of peppercorn sauce. Best steak I have ever had is at Heston's Dinner @ Mandarin Oriental, London. Perfect fillet with no fat (how I like it), it just melted in your mouth Edited October 31, 2013 by 350Ad Quote
KyleR Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Fillet or sirloin are my favourite, cooked medium and has to be over 16oz, anything less should be minced in a bap 1 Quote

hensh65 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 one of your 6 meals a day mate ? I like it medium rare, too much work involved with well done Quote
Neilp Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 I think a steak is ruined by over cooking. I find that if you don't butterfly a fillet it's very had to cook rare as the outside ends up medium and the inside raw. 1 Quote
AliveBoy Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 My mrs loves steak, her favourite place is Quaglino's in London, everything I've ever eaten there is amazing too. Quote
Neilp Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 one of your 6 meals a day mate ? I like it medium rare, too much work involved with well done steaks usually 2 of them lol. From next week I will be on 8 meals a day. Starting a lean bulk soon. 1 Quote

AliveBoy Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Quaglinos 16 Bury Street St James's London SW1Y 6A http://www.quaglinos-restaurant.co.uk/ It's very nice in there, not the cheapest, but the way she raves about the steak it's worth it. 1 Quote

sipar69 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I'm with you, over cooking a decent bit of meat is criminal. Not sure about steak for nearly every meal though -.you've heard of colon cancer right Quote

Neilp Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 I'm with you, over cooking a decent bit of meat is criminal. Not sure about steak for nearly every meal though -.you've heard of colon cancer right you've heard of bodybuilding? steak, fish, chicken, sweet potato, green veg , oats and eggs. All ill be allowed from next week. I'm aware about the issues with red meats and cancer but I like to live by the attitude, "here for a good time, not a long time" and I generally just do whatever I enjoy doing. Training and eating steak is a couple of favourite past times I know so many people who never smoked but have died of lung cancer. Really healthy guys getting diagnosed with cancer and diseases and to me it's just no worth the hassle worrying about things. Just enjoy life and be happy 1 Quote
bizz Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Fillet or sirloin rare every time. Off to Finland next week so will be sampling their epic steaks most of the week :-) Quote
AliveBoy Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 here for a good time, not a long time Massively agree, if you took the "better play safe" attitude to everything you wouldn't be able to do anything. You'd live in a dettol filled plastic bubble being fed white liquids through a straw. 1 Quote

Suits Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 That steak looks great, looks medium rare though I'd say, not rare but I suppose it differs from place to place. Best steak I ever had was in Brugge in a little restaurant. They tended to grade their meat one down from how I used to, so if you asked for medium, it would come up medium rare, that just seemed to be the way it was over there. Another good place to get a steak in London in the Gaucho Grill extremely tasty. Quote

Funnily enough having a veggie better half has got me used only eating meat about half the week. It's not that she tries to influence what I eat, it's just a pain to make different things. In some ways I've found it makes the times when I have meat a bit more of a treat. Yep I've heard of bodybuilding - I think it's what you do with those weight things gathering dust under our bed Quote
Neilp Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah it does I love a steak after a long hard week. Friday night, feel as though be earned it. I tend to eat sirloin often as its cheaper than fillet. Fillet is one a week usually Quote
