Steak on a stone

Birneybau

I mean what's the point. If I wanted to cook my own steak I'd stay at home.

If I wanted an overcooked steak I'd ask the wife to cook.

Is it a particularly 'rustic' stone OP?

or just take it off the stone quicker.

Yeah, it's a sad affair when every restaurant makes you have to cook your own steak on a stone. If only there was some other option, like a restaurant that would cook the steak some other way and ask you how you wanted it cooked.

I imagine one that came from outside anyway. Unless they make their own, in which case God help us all.

have to say i think it's great.

I like it rare-medium and half the time it comes out well done, or very well done

so on the stone, just take it off, then cook each piece as you cut it, nice and hot every time, and just the way i like it.

ps, i always get a big thick fillet

It's usually overdone by the time it comes out.

It brilliant idea.
Ya cook your own steak
Ya pay more the privilege
Ya get heap of smoke in your and everyone else's eyes

So it great. Soon there will be places where you get to peel and cook your own potatoes and grow the vegetables as well:rolleyes:

I was in the US a year ago in a restaurant that does this. I'd done it in Ireland and thought it was a load of crap so I ordered the chicken.

The chicken came out complete with a stone for me to cook it. WTF?!?

not where i go for my nice thick fillet.... comes out basically raw, just seared on both sides

I'm with the OP here. I'f I'm paying €20+ for a steak and then extra for sides, I want the fecking thing cooked the way I ordered it and not handed to me uncooked for me to do the work myself.

If I wanted to cook myself a steak I could have bought a better, larger one for less in my local butchers and cooked it in my own kitchen in half the time for less than half the cost. When I got out to eat it's so I can relax and be served, not do some lazy chefs job for him.

With a username like that, I'm not surprised by your attitude.

I like my steak done a particular way too, often a way that chefs don't comply with, but most of these restaurants it's dark so ya can't see how far along your steak is anyway.

When I was up young we used to cook steak on the back of a turf spade in the bog. Now that was yum!

You need to hit up a Korean restaurant sometime. You sit crosslegged on the floor, griddle in the middle of the table, they serve you up a bowl of kimchi and a tray of raw meat and, go your hardest....

Stone steak is sooo winter 2014, you all need to keep up with the times, culinary philistines.

If you want a doggy bag in Korea you have to buy a licence for it.

was in the Elephant and Castle a couple months back, asked for Fillet steak medium. To say it came out very very very well done is an understatement. I don't normally send food back but it was sooooo bad I had to.

What happened next....... the very same. I got 3, yes THREE, steaks that day, and the third one was still pretty well done but I was just pissed off at that stage, so didn't bother with it, and most certainly didn't pay

What kind of a moron are you? Don't eat in that kind of a restaurant if it's not what you want. It's a pretty simple concept but it seems lost on you.

Cooking your own food on a hot stone was all the rage 20 years ago too, although maybe not in Ireland, I don't know I wasn't here then. I'm surprised it made a come back, it was a crap idea then, and it's a crap idea now.

A thread about steak, STEAK; and people have already resorted to digs at mods and name calling on the first page. STEAK.

Seriously people. STEAK.

An old aunt of mine, Joan, had a terrible experience of a stake in France. To say she was well done is an understatement.
