Kilo Steak

... yeah that's right! Kilo Steak Nite(tm)!

I had always dreamed of going one further than having the biggest steak on the menu at Lonestar... I had seen on the menu at a couple of restaurants that had 1kg steaks... usually I was too busy eating something made of goat.

Meanwhile, Jodie and I have been having fun ordering from wholesalers. Some are excellent, others not so good... and one in particular is well... going to be the end of me. Some of the prices are really no better than a trip to the big supermarket [135km away though], and some have arrangements with freight that is scary expensive. Others are wonderful, reliable, and ring you just to make sure you had everything you needed... Anyway I'm getting side tracked.

I accidentally ordered 21kg of rump. I was after about 4-5kg but there was a misunderstanding about how many lots of 4-5kg I wanted. Although most of it is in the freezer, it was still time to celebrate red meat. Curries are good... I can use more than 2kg in big beef curry. Steak sandwiches for lunch is great too. But Kilo Steak Nite(tm) was the way to go. Below is the 1kg and 500g steak cooking, side by side.

Even though I like mine rare, it still need a little longer than the 'little' one...

Broccolini, and roast potatoes with sour cream and fresh chives... It's not just perspective in this photo that makes the small one look small.

Triumph! Mushroom gravy on top, and it's go for launch! Delicious.
