Not sure which is more worthy of worship, perfectly cooked honey-cured bacon, or perfectly cooked eye fillet steak.

I mentioned it above - bacon is the cure for vegetarianism
"Beef burgers and bacon were among top contenders, followed by fried chicken and pork sausages.."
I feel sorry for the poor buggers but the remedy is right there at the butchers. You can't help those that won't help themselves.
when I make my burgers they usually have beef, chicken and bacon, not sure how well lamb would go with it, so haven't tried that one yet.

Such descriptive prose. Have you ever thought about being a writer?
Nah. I hear they are all batshit crazy, drunk, and broke.

@mokey Sorry I wouldn't care if I never ate another eye fillet steak in my life.
Nice cut of meat - good for tartare but lacks flavour. I prefer to roast a big piece of meat and then slice it into steaks but if I was to cook a steak it would be well seasoned ribeye (scotch fillet) red hot pan 4 mins one side 3 minutes the other 2 minutes resting. sauté some mushrooms with garlic and finely sliced shallot add a tablespoon of oyster sauce and a teaspoon of XO - serve with a Gran Reserva Tempranillo - you wont want eye fillet ever again

The Fern is on fire today..
It's the 20th. We should all be doing accounts and paying bills.
Probably why we are so busy on here then.

I married one.
I’ll suggest it to my ex as a career option, she’s probably over qualified though

So who’s planning on stopping at their local ‘C untDown’ and picking up some bacon and steak tonight?

Weirdly (or not) I prefer rump to any kind of steak with the word fillet in it.
Although, as long as a steak is rare I'll happily eat any cut.

Many years ago when I was poor(er), my future wife and I went shopping for food. I selected some blade steak to which she haughtily replied "I wouldn't feed that to my dog". That was when I learnt a valuable lesson about dating women who grew up on cattle properties...

I’d give anything for a drunk vegan to stumble into this thread today.
@mariner4life already gave his 2 cents worth

Ok, I should have been more specific, I was excluding blade steak in that.

@dogmeat I normally cook ribeye, but I did have an "AngusPure" filet mignon the other day and it was surprisingly tasty. Only seasoned with salt and pepper.
https://www.anguspure.co.nz/about-anguspure
Might be nice to try it with some thyme.
I love how well the Angus Pure brand has done. I would never pay for it as it's just a good marketing brand rather than a high end product. (You can get form Mad Butcher the same meat but they can't use the brand)
