Haven't posted here for a little while, but this is worth sharing.

Cooked a 700g rib eye using the reverse sear method, for me and Jannine. Basically, season and cook for about an hour in the oven at 120C, or until internal temperature is around 35C. Rest then sear in a really hot pan for about 1 or two minutes per side. This results in a really tender and delicious steak. There is plenty of info about the method via Google.

I sliced the steak and put it on a reduction sauce of pinot noir, French shallots, thyme, stock and cognac, Seasoned with the remainders of last season's truffle vodka (long term readers will know that I am lucky enough to have a friend who runs a truffle farm) and finished with a little cream and butter. Had seasoned sweet potato chips and a simple green salad on the side.

I'd really recommend that steak lovers investigate this method, the result is outstanding.

[Ramjet]

Mouth watering here Doc. Looks perfect. The BBQ gurus and meat smokers use reverse sear.

 

[DrDuck]

Thanks, guys, I'm glad I cooked something nice, both of us forgot it was our 28th anniversary! At least I don't have to cop the blame for forgetting it.

Had a lovely relaxed weekend with Marg. Sitting out the back talking about dinner, (leg of lamb).
We have some figs that are a bit past their best and we were discussing how to use them. I have never done a Tart Tartin before so decided to whip up a Fig and walnut tart Tartin with a touch of honey. A nice but indulgent Sunday afternoon tea.
