Last night I made roast lamby.
It was a half leg, done with garliccy roast potatoes and snips, broccoli and yorkshires. Twas lovely.

What's your favourite roast?

I quite like pork
if done well.

Beef's also a fave but it's often overdone.

If it's Sunday, only Beef should be roasted.

Why?

(, Mon 18 May 2009, 12:03, archived)
Because sunday roasts should only be beef.
How hard was that to understand?

Yes, but is there a reason
Or just because you are weird?

Innit.
Like my steak. I want it burned on the outside, raw on the inside. Nobody really knows how to do that, save one chap in Holland and me, it seems.
(, Mon 18 May 2009, 12:07, archived)
I can do it.
I choose to not let it burn though, just before, while it's basically still mooing in the middle.
(, Mon 18 May 2009, 12:08, archived)
Noooo
I do it so it's still mooing, it's just been caught in some sort of hiroshima style burny blast.

You need a good heavy griddle pan to get the outside just right

One of my best investments
is a Le Creuset ridged griddle pan. Ace for cooking steaks in. So heavy you and barely lift it!

I got really lucky with mine
I bought two frying pans, two casserole dishes and the griddle pan in a house clearance sale for £75. The griddle pan alone is about £100 new.

Win!

3 mins, nice charred lines and yummy nommy goodness.

I don't have one of those, but only because I don't have the counter space.
If I had one, I'd not use it for steak, but lots of monkfish.

It works quite well.
I leave it on a good while before I put the Steak in.
Probably nowhere near as hot as a griddle pan though.

I think I'd have to carry on griddling
as I don't do it for about 10/20 seconds on each side, hot as hell.

Most people I know put the steak in the pan then turn the heat on, it makes me angry

Not really, you cook other things on the grill for more than ten minutes at a time.
the 5 minutes it's on with no steak is still part of the cooking time.

This is a tricky question
Instinct tells me to go for a red meat roast, my preference is towards pork or beef over lamb, however, all can be delicious.

HOWEVER, experience has proven that if cooked properly, a pair of small chickens slow roasted for a day in an AGA can be exceptional.

I am undecided, all meats have their place on the Wormulus roast menu.
