Good catch Snubs. The dish looks great. Probably great with Pork as well which that meat appears to be. Usually beef far more rich red color. Pork lighter along with lamb and veal.

I will say though, I have seen some Thai Beef in the market that looked light in color. Anybody translate the label of the meat.

It was chuck you humourless bellend so clearly meant for a long cook.

You think I'd waste my money on a boring steak?

You can't search posts anymore, but I've done one with pork and chorizo and posted it in the past.

Recipe here: 404

Give that a go if you get chance, JP.

Looks like the torygrpah link is blocked so try this one:

Jose Pizarro’s braised pork with tomatoes, chorizo, thyme and black olives

The chorizo and olives make it.

For all the criticism it gets, has anyone tried stewing it?

Thanks Hal. That dish looks quite tasty. Always looking to try new ones.

Yes, seconded Ed, those meals looked great.

But the last laugh is on you bunch of cvnts... I fooled the lot of you!

As we all know, healthy eating is all about portion size.

Everyone loves a girlfriend with small hands and I use the same principal with my food. A small plate gives the illusion of a large meal so I now fill up these small plates with food and can pretend it's a large meal, win win.



And yes, I have been stewing on this today... sausage stew to be exact but I'll be buggered if I'll put a picture up.

If you wait until July maybe I can join you as well? Looks like I'll be visiting with the daughter again this year. Why not get a teaching job in the West Country? Would be an easy gig because the kids are all so clever down that way.

I use local beef all the time for pies, casseroles and stuff. There's nothing wrong with it, you just have to cook it a while.

Apropos comment since I rolled off the bed.

That's why I trim the grass around my tree.

They call that a roast, not a steak.

Since I do not think you know what steak is, I would have to say no.

That's quite some admission!

I once had that done for me before a hernia op but I've never thought of continuing the practice. I had a very conservative upbringing.

I'm not sure who "they" are, but we are Brits, used to own you, make the rules regarding language and we call it chuck. So fall in line and pay respect to the mother country, subject.

It's roast when it's cooked/murdered/incinerated by my mum.

Of course I know what a steak is: a boring piece of cow overrated by you yanks and aussies whose palates can't handle flavour like we more cultured and refined Brits.

Yeah like 2 or 3 days and then have to fish out the hunks that just never got tender. Makes good dog food.

Is it that bad though? You couldn't even make a stew or curry with it (like Mendy does)?

I never bought it to cook when I lived there and the only experiences I have with it are when eating out: yum nua, gaeng kiaw waan nua etc.

Ah go on.

Shure, the 'gardener' will see to the buggering picture or not.

Sorry pal, my family is German and Danish. My ancestors did fight in the Revolutionary war, however, and am told they killed many redcoat sons of bitches. Slaughtered them wholesale, in fact.

It was shit, regardless of what you call it.

As I said I am not a Brit, I am German and Danish. We kicked your teeth in and sent you packing back to your crappy little island.

Honestly Hal awhile back after my wife saw how much AUS and USDA beef was she bent my ear to try the Thai beef. Firstly, as a steak on a grill you are better off trying to gnaw on an old boot. I tried some slow cooked hunks and that tasted awful, dog food it was. I revisited it for a stew and that was a bust. It was more tender after a day simmering but the texture and taste is awful.

But again growing up with USDA beef I have my own expectations. If you were not a big beef eater you wouldn't know a good cut from eating a wet baseball glove

What are you talking about? Why would cutting the grass around my tree be controversial?
Keeping your wood well aerated is good gardening practice.

I cut and trim the beef, then simmer it away for 3 or 4 hours. Then add stock, a splash of Guiness etc and simmer another hour.

My pies are delicious and the meat is so tender you could cut it with a Thai spoon. That's all from local beef.

Occasionally when I work offshore 'steak' pies are made from leftover steaks. The meat is good quality but the pies are boring. I think that pies benefit from stronger tasting, cheaper cuts of meat with the different textures.

I know nothing about steaks but I do know my pies.

is now a good time to mention broiling?
