It's a cooking day today !
Not entirely sure what to cook though. My griddle-pan hasn't had an outing in a little while, so I want to use that.

Ideas people, IDEAS.

Right, I've come up with an idea, chilli chocolate brownies, that's one of the things I'm going to make.

That sounds utterly disgusting!
I cooked a New York steak in my griddle pan Thursday night, 'twas delicious!

What's a new york steak?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sat 23 Jan 2010, 13:17, Reply)

This:
top loin steak = strip steak = New York steak = New York sirloin steak = Kansas City steak = contrefilet = strip loin steak = New York strip steak = Kansas City strip steak = hotel steak = hotel cut strip steak = ambassador steak = club sirloin steak = strip sirloin steak Notes: Think of these as Porterhouse or T-bone steaks that have been stripped of the choice tenderloin portion. They're flavorful and fairly expensive cuts. A boneless top loin steak is called a shell steak, and a very thick shell steak is sometimes called a shell roast. Substitutes: club steak OR sirloin steak OR T-bone steak OR Porterhouse steak

Sorry, still none the wiser.
I can never do steak what I would call 'right', it's always perfect on the outside and raw (not rare, raw) on the inside.

I've tried both hot-pan when putting in, and warming-up pan when putting in, and it's never right in my books.

Best way is to cook it sloooooowly and on a low heat
I've found.
About 10 minutes each side should do it for a medium rare steak (slightly pink inside).

Fuck that
Crank the heat up to maximum and do it for 60 seconds per side. I like my steaks bloody.

Rest the meat in a warm oven, about 100, for about 10ish mins after cooking
this lets the hot juices back into the center and stops it being raw.

Also, leave the meat out for a half hour or so
instead of cooking it straight from the fridge.

this indeed
I always make some kind of potato with my steaks, and the meat sits out while i get these prepared (and everything else washed)

Alco-Brownies
I'd give that a go. My flatmates once tried to make Southern Comfort brownies, but got so wasted that the baking idea was abandoned soon after starting.

I'm going to cook a beef rendang and something else tonight,
not sure what the something else is though. Maybe a chicken curry of some sort.
(PsychoChomp, Sat 23 Jan 2010, 13:15, Reply)

I was thinking about doing something with coconut milk / rice noodles too.
I've never cooked a curry before, I but I guess it would be good to freeze and have during the week.

Geeta's curry sauce is the shit. Makes cooking curries extremely easy.
(Fancy a weekend on my Raymondo Luxury Yacht?, Sat 23 Jan 2010, 14:36, Reply)

Really?
Because her chutney is just shit!
I have been cross with Geeta for weeks because of this.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sat 23 Jan 2010, 15:04, Reply)

Funnily enough
I don't like the chutney either. Geeta's is an old family favorite but I can never bring myself to have the chutney.

So her curry's ok?
Cos I swear, I was going to kick her front bum if I ever saw her...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sat 23 Jan 2010, 18:32, Reply)

to be honest
it's alright if you like mild curries. no substitute for your own freezered mixes of course. it's alright. quick and easy and better than most like that.

add your own chilli to it.

Mmmm......curry!
I shall do that this week.

Go for it!
Go to subway, get your favourite sarnie and warm it up in your griddle pan. Two birds with one stone!
