I was going to say, I want to go there!
While I do like going out for steak, in many ways itās so easy to cook well that you might as well spent a tenner each on your meat and get something better than youāll ever get at a restaurant. The main thing is not to be afraid to stop cooking it even though it doesnāt look done!

These were frozen, and just bunged onto the cast iron thingy while the steak was resting. Move them about, and they infuse with the oils and bits of browned meat. Rather ad hoc, and certain to be repeated, they were great!
In that she will be open minded about meat. I did explain it is a treat

Spot on on every level.
Hotel buffet, so marmite on toast (unsliced) followed by a 4-rasher back bacon sandwich on soft, white bread with lots of butter and brown sauce.
Plus four coffees; buzzing.
