    Saves on electricity too. No need to kill or cook it.

    You can spot a Cavan lass a mile off!


    eh... I'm from Dublin!!! and I just have good taste
    (the fact I moved to cavan a month ago has nothing to do with my choices in meat and the fact that it really does save on the lecky bill :P )

    So rare that a well trained vet could make it moo.

    But it depends where I am.

    When making it myself I make it Blue.

    When I am in a restaurant I always ask for blue but get rare no matter where I go!

    So anywhere between Blue and rare and I am happy!

    Medium for me with a tidy bit of pink in the middle. Preferably cooked in beer to enhance the flavour.

    Anything more than medium is a waste of a good juicy steak. Might as well eat cardboard.

    I would say the same about Medium TBH.

    I'm from Dublin + I have good taste = I moved to cavan

    There's something not quite right with that equation. :p

    Sirloin steak, cut into thin strips.
    Marinate in soy sauce, red wine, a little garlic and a finely chopped red chilli pepper.
    Pre-heat a wok with some butter, more garlic, more chilli and a bit of coriander.
    Add the meat and another dash of soy sauce and cook until browned, then add some chopped mushrooms and onions.

    Serve with raw chopped bell peppers, lettuce, cucumber and sour cream/salsa/garlic & herb salad dressing.

    Next week: how to make great pancakes! :)

    I like, a petit filet mignon, very lean, not so lean that it lacks flavour, but not so fat that it leaves drippings on the plate. And I don't want it cooked - just lightly seared on either side, pink in the middle; not a true pink, but not a mauve either, something in between, bearing in mind the slightest error either way, and it's ruined.

    rare, pink to red in the middle, bloody, with pepper sauce and mashed potato. turns into a big bloody gooey mess-YUM!

    Irish people seem to have a mental block when it comes to bloody meat. My mates used to look at me saying thats disgusting etc etc. I tell them to close their eyes and taste it, one by one im convincing them rare is the only way.

    People who get steaks well done actually annoy me, and then they sit at the table saying ummmmm thats delicious.......they can taste sweet feck all!

    Rare, although I'll happily eat it blue.

    Anyone who eats their steaks well done deserves to burn in hell for eternity.

    I agree. And whats with all this pepper sauce bollix? The juice of a steak is the only sauce you need. Anything else just takes away from a good streak. Although acceptable if it's a cheaper cut..

    Anyone who wants theirs more than medium shouldn't even be allowed to vote, or eat steak for that matter. Waste of good meat...

    Some restaurants in Argentina don't even serve anything more than medium and if the chef has to do so you'd probably find less cum on a soggy biscuit!

    The thing is thou, people who do order a fillet steak well done will probably be served a **** cut of meat, as you can't taste anything once cremated.

    If I'm having a meal with people and somebody orders a well done steak I honestly lose a little respect for them..(possibly because I'm a cnut)

    Same as for people who pick up the salt and cover their meal in a thin white layer without even tasting to see if it is required or not.

    Total lack of respect for both the chef and their taste buds!
