W doesn't really eat steak but I do, and what amazes us is that over here, nearly every steak you get in a restaurant, even quite a cheap cut, is always OK, but buying decent steaks in shops is a nightmare. Even our normal butcher, who is brill for everything else, we once had a steak from him and it wasn't good. So now i buy Tournedos from Leclerc and that is OK.

I think part of it is that restaurants tend to cook them on charcoal grills, which makes a huge difference to the taste. I tend to flash fry mine in butter. Our barbie is gas so not as good, yes I know you can get stuff to use that makes it like a wood barbie but for how often we use it.... And just for me?

But your situation is a little weird. Especially re lamb.

We accidentally bought mutton chops the other day. Din't realise (only I eat them) and I cooked them as I would lamb chops, in the oven, 190 degs for 25 mins.

Jeezo they were awful! Couldn't chew them. The dogs loved them!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

T-bone done on the BBQ with coals & smoked with oak wood chips...
left out fridge for 2 hours to reach room temp
Salted with rock salt & chilly powder for 40 mins
Oiled with olive oil & cooked for a total of 30 mins turned every 5 mins
Little bit pink in the middle
Triple cooked chips & the sassages were done for the dogs but I had to try them

It was outstanding. :p

30 mins to cook a steak????!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Jeezo, when I fry one it takes more like 3 minutes. But yes I do like them a lot pink in the middle.

Have to say it looks fine. Maybe the heat source is a lot further away from the meat than mine would be.
How do you manage to cook it on a barbie and not have black lines on it?

It was 2" thick & I had the heat table all the way up for 1 min each side, then I wound it all the way down so it didnt burn
lines into it. :)

You is taking the p---- now, going to go and sulk now 😂😁😂😁
 
You sure it int yer aim at fault?
Ha, it's leaking from the cistern outlet pipe and running down the outside of the pipe and onto the bowl.
Something to do with the cistern not being in line with the bowl and the pipe being on an angle on two planes I would say.
Cistern not level and not in line with the wall and toilet bowl also out of skew, It's the modern way :D

Yes. But other than that they have done a fine job? 🤣
