Steak frites in Brighton

[CHAPPERS]

How do you allow a steak to rest before cooking? Leave it in the fridge an extra 15 minutes?

You need to let it get up to room temperature before cooking.

I've never had a good steak in Brighton so would be interested to hear if there any about.

London has now caught up with the states. Hawksmoor at Spittalfields which I go to weekly, Goodman in Soho and the palm in Belgravia are all comparable to the best you'll get in the US. With that in mind I have never had a steak as good as the T-Bone I had at "Cut" in LA and Vegas.

Exactly the opposite... take it OUT of the fridge and any packaging, and leave it on a plate, covered with a clean cloth/towel, for at least 30 minutes before you want to cook it... to ensure it is up to room temperature.

That'll be Steak Tartare then. Is that what you wanted or did you fall for the classic "I will not tell 'im that eet is raw" French waiter trick?

A bit of both. I saw the word steak on the menu and went for it. A bit surprised that I enjoyed the meal and would order again.

Reading this and watching the F Word last night, now I am going to have to buy me some steak for din dins. I hate NSC sometimes

What SAUCE to make with it though

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

What does work if you want to keep it simple is to rub the steak with garlic before cooking.

I normally cook it(after doing the garlic rub) and then have melted butter in the pan and SPOON it over the steak for a while to GLAZE it.

I've heard that it's best to rub/brush the oil over the steak rather than pouring the oil onto a very hot skillet and smoking the kitchen out. Intense but short heat is what I've been recommended.

The steak I had at Cafe Rouge in the marina was excellent, the one by the pump house was cold (so were the skinny chips) and had to be sent back and the replacement was average.
