Venti Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 10 years ago or so I worked for a butchers firm in Greenock, who provided the breakfast packs for most of the supermarkets, Asda, Morrisons, Tesco and Co Op from memory. Everything in the pack was identical but they had different labels depending on where we were sending them. It's not that uncommon. McKechnie Jess near Cappielow?

Tryfield Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I used to take my old pal Andy out on a midweek day for a couple of pints and a bite to eat. In a wee rustic country pub we ordered our beers, had a blether and then ordered our lunch along with our second beer. I ordered fish, Andy ordered steak. We heard the pots and pans getting rattled in the kitchen when the chef came rushing back through to ask, "How would you like your steak cooked sir? Rare, medium or well done? Old Andy, aged 84 at the time and with not a tooth in his head replied "Minced". I laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The burgers there are superb, with the Italiano burger being the pick of choice. Cheers - I'm a sucker for the haggis/peppercorn sauce one but will try this next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 What do you guys think when you hear someone ordering a steak well done? I just wouldn't bother to be honest. Not with thinking, but with ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallo_Madrid Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 In the frying pan. I want more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I want more. I have three frying pans and my hob has four gas rings, even if I had another pan I can only manage one steak at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallo_Madrid Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I have three frying pans and my hob has four gas rings, even if I had another pan I can only manage one steak at a time. Ah I see. You're attempting humour. I was looking for any tips the lovely people of PnB had for cooking steak. When I cook it at home its usually rather underwhelming in comparison to some Steak I've had in restaurants cut for cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I cook it at home its usually rather underwhelming in comparison to some Steak I've had in restaurants cut for cut. Don't cook it for the same time on both sides - cook it for a minute or two less on the second side after you flip it, since the heat will also be coming through from the first side.

Quentin Taranbino Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Bit of olive oil and season both sides of the steak. Make sure the pan is burning hot before putting my steak on. 1 minute either side (I use stopwatch on phone) Turn heat down and do another 30-40 seconds on each side. Done. That's how I have mine at home. No sauce or added stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdunk Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I have a cast(e) iron grill pan for cooking meat. Makes a nice steak, pain in the arse to maintain/clean though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've followed Simon Hopkinsons method and works well. Heat griddle pan up on high heat. On steak score the fat and brush with olive oil. Also rub in sea salt. Put steak onto pan but only on fat and allow oils to flow for a bit. Then cook couple minutes each side for rare steak. Win.
