Worked a lunch shift a few months back, and my manager told me for everyone I sold @ lunch, I would get one. He regretted it as he ended up paying out of his own pocket to cover product cost. I ate well that night.

edit: the selling is individual cuts, not the entire loin.

Cracked out my new weapon tonight!
Was let down by the butcher unfortunately.

New weapon:



Meat - 560gm eye





Process:







Result... looks ok, tastes meh. Bad bit of dead cow. Uninspired result from my new weapon.

I'd also politely recommend getting a flat piece of cast iron. You get a better, more even char with one. JMHO.

Anyone cooked steaks using a cast iron pan on an open fire? just wondering about temp regulation

Gonna be doing this tomorrow if we dont catch any fish.

BJTT_Kiwi @BJTT_Kiwi we'll be land based fishing not far from you targeting black fish at Woolwich, 0600 start and early finish around 1000 if youre keen PM me. Guy Im going heading out with is one of Sydney's best lure fishermen but we'll be using weed under a float.

Yeah, but it depends on the thickness of the cut. I tend to cook a NY strip over medium (or a bit higher) heat, and I comes out great.

Lost me with that sous vide silliness. The middle looks tender but it appears to not have a nice sear. The fat looks like it's well done though. Perhaps the boiling?

I've gotten pretty delicious and consistant results using my cast iron. I feel I'd need to try a sous vide before committing to one at home.

The sear was as much as I wanted. I could have put it back in the pan if I wanted. Your cast iron cannot get uniform doneness like this.

I didn't buy an expensive sous vide, I bought a thermostat for £15 on ebay and plugged in my crockpot. Here's a pic:

Cooking steak in a ziplock bag sounds a touch cancerous.

I'm yet to have a boiled steak but I'm pretty curious about it.
My issue is that I've had other boiled proteins and while they were technically cooked well the texture just seemed off. Almost mushy or maybe mealy. I can't describe it. But it was pretty off-putting.
I'd be super pissed if a steak turned out the same way.
