My experience in Argentina, while they have great beef, you literaly have to fight with them not to burn the fuck out of the meat!

The only really proper way to order a steak is in French, either "bleu" or "saignant"(translated; bloody as hell, or very rare)

That is what I have heard they cook the shit out of it. What was the first meal out of the clink?

It took me long enough to figure out the old system.

I just posted a test image directly off my laptop...nothing to it. Click the "post image" icon, select your image...done!

Chicken steak tonight.


Diced up whilst raw and thrown into a curry.

Mind you, to be fair, I have not tried it so I could be wrong...will dab a smidge on a corner of my next steak to test.

I wouldn't be surprised if you're the only westerner posting here who does not consider mustard to be a standard condiment with steak.

Add that to the 'disagreeing with a comment you know has been made sarcastically' thing and the 'it's' thing and, well, it's all getting a bit odd.

Well done Braising Steak and served with a creamy pasta sauce, hit the spot.

Add that.

He's not the only one. I have never put mustard on a steak nor would I consider doing so.

Hmmm. Lets see. There's one, above, any others? I've never even heard of it being a thing.

Rather odd what you consider being odd, to be frank. Rather odd, too, what you pick up on and make a point of.

As I said, it was sarcasm upon sarcasm....you still harping on about that? Annoyed with yourself that you didn't get it?
Odd.

Give Sybill a paper bag so she can happily punch away trying to break free

Mustard with steak, must be a council estate thing as ive never heard of it.

Simple Sybil:



Urg Urg, need more mustard.

Haven't you got a superbike to rev up / up-country estate to manage / tandoor to fire up?

You've never heard of cafe de Paris sauce? Mustard has been used as a condiment with steak for centuries. Henry IV probably stuck it on his steak, and Julius bloody Cesar before that.

French mustard

Not to be confused with French's mustard.
This dark brown, mild and tangy/sweet mustard, despite its name, is not French in origin. "French" mustard is particular to the UK and was invented by Colman's in 1936. It became a popular accompaniment to steak in particular.

What, you mean like jumping on someone just because they mention putting mustard on their steak?

Lord no.

My property manager manages that.

Got a bit lairy there last month when a tenant was in Singapore and was late with her payment.



But thankfully my property manager got it all sorted before I had to go up there and smear mustard on her steak!!

You just can't get when there is sarcasm upon sarcasm or, as in this case, faux outrage.
To be fair, you can't see my faintly sardonic half smile and slightly amused twinklling eyes when I write.

And irony again since you're talking about jumping on someone...or did I miss the jesting?

Ok, right. The condiment of people from times when shit was thrown out the window into the street and slaves were butchered for fun.
Must be a very cultured and sophisticated thing then.

Cyrille...that was sarcasm, FYI.

Look, I've got no dog in this particular fight, but I'd just like to say that I add mustard to the marinade mix that I make for my steak (pictured earlier) and that when I cooked it I got distracted, over-cooked it, and consequently it was focking terrible.

OK, thanks. That is all.

Hmmm.

[Manaam] No, I don't think they were very sophisticated. [/Manaam]

(Like a bit of strawman as a side, btw)
