Food, Drink & Dining Out Steak

[Commissioner Gordon]

shame about the shoestring chips

Unforgivable.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Indeed I do. Much better if they're burnt .

Just order Chicago style. Cooked to your liking on the inside but charred outside.

What is this magical cooking method and why haven't I heard of it before? How do you do it?

Did you make the pepper sauce?

Oh the suspense.

Gave it a miss. Steaks were cracking though and Hawthorn won. Would rate the evening a solid 8.

Forget the steak and go to Lygon st for a pizza and a brew.

Had the best ever Cabonara there, some good restaurants along Lygon.

 

[Impunity!]

There is no excuse for Mandurah

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Rib eye steak>>>All else IMO.

Had that today with mushroom sauce. Delish

 

[Quivorir]

Started marinating my home cooked steaks recently, holy shit wow. Now even my favourite place to buy a steak from tastes bad.

Lygon Street should be avoided at all costs.

that statement belongs in the Unpopular Opinions thread

The station hotel in Napier street, Footscray has quality steaks.

Bingo - owned by the guy who used to run Donovan's in South Yarra.
Too many steakhouses in Melbourne sacrifice flavour for tenderness - eye fillet? Yeah, it's soft... and relatively flavourless compared to many other cuts.

You got to do that. Even if it's only for a few hours. I thought pretty much every restaurant did that too.

Im sure they do, but its no where near as good as the concoction of stuff my mate told me to do.

You can't just type that sort of shit and not share.

I cant because I dont know. He told my wife and she makes it.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Well, now I'm hungry and confused.

 

[Gough]

You let a woman cook steak?

 

[Simple Jack]

You can't just type that sort of shit and not share.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Quivorir]

She does a better job than I ever would.

 

[Catfish Alley]

We're gonna need your man-card back.

I would have thought marinading of steaks would have been more controversial?

Surely alot of the highest end places rely on the quality of meat and the fat content rather than a marinade?

I thought many "Steak" places only serve mustard or basic sauces to go with them as the Steak is the star or the meal?

You're probably right. Most of the good places don't smother the meat in sauces. A little bit of marinate or seasoning is fine though.

I order a lot of my meat from this place:

Had a Angus Rib Steak last night. I marinated it slightly but really didn't have to do much to it. Flipped it once on the BBQ and had it with a corn cob and some other veggies. So good!

I buy whole porterhouses or fillets from a butcher and cut them myself. It works out a lot cheaper and you can cut them to your own preference for thickness.
