    Medium rare and there is no blood, they get rid of that when they slaughter it. technically a rib roast but you get the idea

    Medium rare, still nice and juicy but hot the whole way through. I hate lukewarm food.


  • Registered Users Posts: 585 ✭✭✭Crumpets


    Medium well :)

    My foolpoof method for medium rare steak (more rare>medium). Very hot pan. Rub sirloin with garlic clove and tiny bit of oil. Set timer. 2 mins each side without moving. Put on serving plate. Cover loosely with tin foil for 10 minutes.
    Enjoy with a glass of red.
    Perfection.

    Looks ok so far, show me a pic of it cut ! What temp was your oven ? Even Hell does not cook you for 8 hours no matter what you did on Earth.

    Hate to break it to you, but have a look at the original pic (post 34) again: it's cooked!

    60 Degrees, you saw the pic of it cut above already. There was no "blood" either BTW, because it was slow cooked and properly rested the water wasnt squeezed out of it.

    I like mine actually cooked just like any other meat that I eat.

    My wife has a theory that because it takes so long to fully cook steaks that the restaurant trade made eating raw steak trendy.

    Rare! Unfortunately, most of the time I ask for rare, it arrives either medium or well done. Grrr! What would they do to it if I asked for well done?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,790 ✭✭✭maguic24

    At the risk of sounding like a complete dumdum..... Why is it still pink even after being cooked for 8 hours?

    I like mine pink :D, order medium in a restaurant but I always prefer the way I do it myself

    My OH used to like his extra well done (thats what he would ask for) I've managed to get him down to medium well, he can't believe he enjoyed it the other way now!!

    Not my pic but it's still pink after 8 hours because it was cooked at a very low temp (I think he said 60 degrees) having been sealed on all sides in a very hot pan

    Cheers, its a Heston Blumenthal recipe. I did it for a Heston style dinner then again for Christmas dinner.

    There was a fair bit left over so I cut it in half and seared it as steaks the Stephens's night :D

    What is the problem? Tbh, I use my MIL's recipe when cooking roast beef & it allows for the beef to be slow roasted for 7-8 hours if needed. It ends up tender as bejaysus, but not pink in the middle. 'Well done' would not describe it either. 'Dee-bleedin'-licious' would be the best way to describe it.

    The desert for the Heston night had to be cooked in the oven for about 12 hours, bloody ESB bill was creased that month!!

    Not the biggest steak fan, but the last piece I had was on a ranch in rural Arizona in December and was it was great.

    I am watching Mary Berry cooking steak on BBC2 and she only cooked them for less than 2 minutes on each side. She then cut one in half and proclaimed ''Perfect'' It was red raw in the middle ! ! Why bother cooking them ? Just eat it raw ! I could not eat a steak unless medium at a minimum.
    Am I missing something ? How do you like your steak ?:confused:

    That's not actually what happened. After the couple of minutes each side in a very hot pan, the steaks were put to one side, and later given 6 minutes in a 200 degree oven. Then she cut them and they were pink. Raw steak tends to be a purple colour inside (hence "bleu", which is how I like it) - hers looked very much medium rare.
