32. Piece of Meat

9th January 2014, Shoreditch, London

After lobster and Ben and Jerry's Baked Alaska, a good steak is my favourite food (yes, Ben and Jerry's is food).

Steak is however one of the few things that I am incredibly bad at cooking - always, without exception it ends up over cooked and dry and I gave up ages ago and instead became a regular at Hawksmoor.

I had now decided it was time to learn - not only because I wanted to know how, but it had dawned on me exactly how much money I spend at steak restaurants and how many pairs of Manolos that added up to.

Now, is there anything you can not learn via YouTube? It's how I figured out liquid eye liner, how to unclog the bathroom sink and how to make souffle. Life saving!

After frying 4 perfectly nice bits of dead cows to charcoal -  I was finally successful! And it was yummy.

So thank you Gordon Ramsay for the excellent demonstration, you should expect a law suit from several restaurants for loss of income any day now.

 

Excellent steak, perfect dinner in.

 

Now that's how you cook a steak.
