BigFatCoward Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I got 2 gorgeous rib eye steaks in for last night, but pregnant woman wanted fish and chips from the chippy. Pregnant woman got what she wanted. Having a roast today, MiL makes terrible gravy but everything else is normally ok. Rib eye will be saved for tomorrow with creamy peppercorn or chimichurri sauce.

You sauce your steaks? Not much of a ribeye fan, but I got two huge porterhouses ready to go on the grill this evening. I'll probably skip lunch because both are close to 18 ounces.

In my experience there are two kinds of steak eaters, people who use sauce and people who think you are mentally deranged if you use sauce. Friends who I used to regularly have Sunday dinner with look at me like I have two heads because I like horse radish with my roast beef and sauce with my steak, oh, and mint jelly with my lamb, yet all kinds of crap with chicken is perfectly fine because they like to put crap on their chicken.

My porterhouses were cooked for 8 minutes, rested for a few more, and only needed a little olive oil, butter sea salt and pepper to season them.

I actually had two striploin steaks out for my brother and I, and ended up freezing one of them because they were just too big. As it happens, we didn’t even finish the one. Breakfast is going to be steak and eggs. Ah, youth. Sadly, ah, old age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weigh in on the sauce with steak debate, if MC says it's wrong I'll take it on the chin (though not change my ways, a little pot of creamy pepper sauce to dip your chips in is a joy).

I can take or leave horseradish with beef, or apple sauce with pork. But I would refuse to eat lamb without mint sauce, what would be the point.

Xray the Enforcer Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 IMO it depends on the cut of meat that you're using to make your steak. A dry-aged ribeye already has enough fat and umami going on that you do not need to put sauce on it. In fact, you've just wasted a lot of money if you bought that expensive cut of meat and then covered up the flavor with a highly seasoned sauce. I mean, you could do that, but why waste the money? If you bought a much less expensive cut like a flank steak or sirloin, though, sauce away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes consider ordering extra pizza just so I get have to have pizza breakfast and pizza lunch and pizza dinner and pizza supper the next day! And if I'm feeling fancy, pizza elevenses too! That's exactly what we did -- ordered extra pizza at lunch and then just dove right back into it for dinner. We usually try to cook a nice meal on Sunday to mentally prepare for the upcoming week, but yesterday that was just a bit beyond us. hahaha. Pizza was really good though.

HexMachina Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 If I make pizza I always make extra for leftovers. I actually do that with most meals I make because sometimes the leftovers are better than the actual meal... Had prawns and veg in sweet chilli sauce, served with a pitta and some salad. Very tasty. Today I'm making carrot and lentil soup and a loaf of wholemeal bread. The soup should last a few days at least and the bread too (unless I get peckish...) ETA: I don't eat meat anymore but mint sauce with lamb was always a must when I did. I was never a steak girl but I've served plenty in pubs and most people ordered with sauce - though as BFC seemed to imply, served in a boat on the side.
