My lunch is better than yours

[DCal430]

That depends on the cut.

The nicer cuts can be done rare. The toughest stuff needs to be well done. Everything in between gets done accordingly.

Tenderloin steak = rare or medium rare (I can handle a nice medium too)
Beef brisket = slow cooked well


One other tip OP: Don't cut it on a plate like that. You'll dull the knife. Cut it on wood.

Learned something new.

But this is an eye roast, which I am fairly sure should be cooked to Medium-Rare. Atleast that is how I have always had it.

Even a tough roast, when cooked medium rare, can be cut across the grain and very thinly, resulting in something edible and flavorful.

I had mashed avocado on French bread toast.

That's not me, that's my mom. :biggrin:
She got that knife for $0.25 at a yard sale, and it hasn't failed us yet.

Very cheap,made in china?

 

[jupiter57]

That looks delicious, not at all overdone.
But, I don't believe it can beat the wife's Reubens!
Corned beef with Provolone AND Swiss!

Fuck no; made in the US. It's from the 1950's, or so.

Changed the hues to be more like meat..

Lunch is for losers. Brunch is where it's at.

Now that looks a lot more accurate than the unedited picture. :thumbsup:

This. I ate two crepes with chocolate chips, syrup, and whipped topping around 11-ish today.

Still profoundly over cooked.

 

[shortylickens]

Perhaps, but my camera is better than yours.

 

[Zeze]

It's definitely overcooked for beef. No way around it.

That being said, I'm sure it was a delicious meal your mom has cooked up. I'm happy for you. Don't mind the typical online horde mentality ganging up on you, nitpicking everything.

 

[zinfamous]

the meat looks dry--but being the end of the cut, I wouldn't call it overcooked, yet. I do see some pink. I want to see the center of the cut.

 

[cirrrocco]

From the juices, yours looks a bit overdone. My lunch: enough bacon to get some grease in the pan, then ham cooked in the bacon grease, with little cubes of potato (cooked in the same grease) and some eggs.

recipe?

Should be perfect all the way through, not just in the middle.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Didn't have lunch. Had half a slice of chocolate cake around 10:30am, then didn't eat for the next 8 hours.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Geez...can't the man eat his mom's meat however he pleases...I mean damn.

Yeah... no. Blue rare is not for me. To each his own.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Why did you wear a tablecloth to cut it, or are those your everyday pants? 😛

 

[Anubis]

Thats too rare for a roast.

Was it even warm in the middle.

Nice photo though.
