The what's for dinner thread
 

It just dawned on me that nobody has mentioned what they're cooking / cooked for dinner, tea, call it what you want ???

So here goes, Tonight I cooked 2 meals ( kids :shrug: )

1 ) Pasta with cajun chicken in a hot and sour sauce

2 ) Rice with garlic chicken in a garlic and mustard sauce

Now, I cooked for 4 peeps ( just enough ) when the g/f's youngest decided she was coming over :mad:

What did I end up with ?????????? Ox tail :erm: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: not everyones cup of tea but to me, mothers milk ;)

So, what did you have / make tonight ?????

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

Thanks Bop - one cake and no candles - at my age with that many, the icing would melt! :Yikes:

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

Hash browns, salad, and steak cooked to perfection. Bloody that is :)

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

I'm one of the fortunate ones, I can eat my steak all ways and enjoy it, at the mo i'm leaning towards medium well

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

I had my Grandad over tonight so: me, my brother and our grandad had steak & kidney pie with mash and green beans while my mum & dad had chicken with rice. For dessart we had mince pies with custard.

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

it has to be at least, warm, so a 'nearly raw' steak has to be small & tender?

but, yes, medium well, especially when that means the inside is still 'pink', while the outside is 'slightly charred' - :drool:

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

Pie an' mash.... :D nout wrong :tu:

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

Been to Blackpool for the day with friend from work so cooked sod all, we went in Yates's for rump steak with all the trimmings :drool:

now feeling a bit peckish so stuck some hash browns in with loads of salt on

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

I was shown a way to cook a steak on a braai ( bar b que ) that i've not been able to reproduce. The method is simple enough, but it must just be experience / timing, produces a rare steak, but well cooked on the outside

It goes like this, get your bbq well lit, make an oil based marinade and soak the steak, when the flames of the bbq are well above the grill slap the steak on, leave for 30 seconds, soak in marinade again and slap on, other side of course. Sounds easy ( flame grilled steak ) try it and see.

I loved it, just can't get it right :(

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

Warm is nice yes :), but I like the inside to be red rather than pink. Unfortunately, in this country it's virtually impossible to get that in a restaurant. I order rare, and 9/10 times it's not even pink :(

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

If / when eating out I always like my steak plate warm/hot, there's nothing worse IMO than getting half way through a rare steak, only for it to go cold :mad:

Re: The Whats cooking thread
 

30 seconds each side sounds a bit too raw, but otherwise I'm drooling :)
