slow-roasted beef
This magnificent piece of sirloin beef was cooked by Thomas, from this bon appétit recipe. All it needed was plenty of time to cook very slowly in the oven, an hour to rest, and a final sear in a pan just before serving for an excellent crust. Using a sharp knife, lightly score the fat…… Continue reading slow-roasted beef

In Poland, everyone has their own recipe but the main ingredients are always assorted meats, shredded white cabbage and sauerkraut. More delicious than I anticipated and even better…… Continue reading hunter’s stew

The steak was marinated in soya sauce, mirin and garlic for about an hour, or the time it took to get the fire going and the…… Continue reading tomahawk steak

ribeye with mushroom sauce
For you meat-lovers out there. We brined this steak with leftover dill pickle brine. This can be from store-bought pickles or home-made. The pickle brine not only salts the meat but imparts some delicious flavour. Marinate for at least a few hours. Brush the steak with oil and cook it on the barbecue, not directly…… Continue reading ribeye with mushroom sauce
