Steak on a stone

Birneybau

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

Very rarely order steak in a restaurant I have to say, partly because of the unjustifiably extortionate prices but mostly because I generally dont order things that I could make just as well or better at home.

^^ agreed..
Boss took me to a place in Limerick where they serve their steak speciality which is char grilled...wasn't too impressed with it as I don't like char grill.

I prefer going to my local butcher "ribeye steak about 1.5 inches thick" that costs about a tenner and get the missus to cook it. Miles better

A full chicken? Would take fecking hours.

Na a bit of chicken tit which was seasoned with something or other.

Whatever about cooking steak on a stone, I'd have thought cooking chicken yourself on a stone brought with it some inherent health risks.

The whole concept is nonsense.

I was in a Dublin cafe a few weeks back and I ordered a hot chocolate. I was brought a cup of hot milk and another cup of chocolate buttons. Not only that but the waiter then explained to me that I got to add the buttons myself in a tone that suggested it was going to be the best experience of my life and I was a very lucky boy

That's hilarious

I'm looking forward to the next tranche of fads where the restaurant brings out the cow and you have to slaughter it and cut out what bit you want.

Used to go to a place in Kinsealy. 2 starters, 2 steaks on stone and a bottle of wine for 30 quid all in. Excellent soakage for an evening of drinking. Now the wine was just okay but the food was always lovely. It's just a novelty thing I guess. Every mouthful was piping hot - and a free facial sauna thrown in :-) played havoc with my already frizzy hair though.

Internet has ruined me. Facial just means something completely different.

Never heard of this before, must be a big smoke thing.
One thing for sure you would get away with none of that carry on around here.

I eat the steak and put on a stone?

Maybe eat the steak and then eat the stone as dessert.

No that's not right.

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

Generally speaking, stake on a stone is more of a problem for me. Very hard to keep the fence upright if the posts didn't go deep enough.

If you move the stone you can use it as a mallet to drive the stake in deeper

Steak on a Stone???

You don't want any of that...

This is much more authentic!

not if it's a great big stone buried down about a foot. Hitting the stake harder usually just splits it too..:mad:

I haven't ever encountered this. Do they actually bring out a raw steak for you to cook yourself? How does the stone work, is it actually just a slab of slate that has been heated before hand, I cant imagine that would stay hot for long so i assume I'm missing something.

Never heard of it myself. If I am expected to cook it myself then why would I bother my hole with something like this?

Quite a few peasants on this thread that have never tried steak on the stone :pac: its very nice, yes a bit more expensive but you won't be complaining when you have eaten it..i have had it loads & i love it.

kylith

I'm with the crowd that expects when paying money for a meal that said meal should be presented to me already cooked. What's next, being charged an extra fiver and expected to peel the carrots myself? Feck that.

A bit more expensive to cook your own dinner instead of having it prepared by a professional?

Bargain.

If anything, it's cheaper. The place I go has a two for thirty with a bottle of plonk deal.

Is it cooked on a limestone or granite stone? Just that I heard limestone leaves a faminey after-taste.

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....

Korean bbq is one of the things I'll miss most about this country when I leave in a few days.
