You have to cook it yourself?

and 300g is a snack...

Yeah but that's eye fillet for you. It looks bigger than most cuts I've seen atleast. And yeah you cook it yourself, I thought the idea was bullshit too at first, but all you're doing is cutting off little mouthfuls at a time and letting them cook on the stone...takes 1 minute to get them a texture of well done with the non-dried out flavour of medium. And the meal never goes cold because of it. Like I said, don't question, just do yourself a favour and try it...I don't let anyone cook my steak now :)

this time it wasnt speeding...this time it was a nice epa notice...hate that coppa...lucky kriss didn come for that midnight cruise....waiting to hear from others if anyone else got a notice...if its just me..then ill really get pissed off...man i shud hv dun a runner while i could....he sounded nice to let us off with a warning but NO!!! had to get me done...

shit lucky i left when i did, probably others will get it too :(

i checked out nick's evo 7

such a nice car

i reckon not as bad ass as a skyline gtr

but a much better all rounder car

Yeah gtr is just raw, evo is heaps more daily friendly

Had a few wedges left at the half hour mark, which you need to finish it under to complete the challenge so I just left em there. Might have another go at it someday

tuff

whats the place and this competition? also how much it cost?

rib eye is where it's at...

bigger than eye fillet, has the fat to melt through if cooked properly, has more flavour than eye fillet, but is still tender enough. cooked on the bone for the win too...

at a quick estimation i've cooked at least 30,000 steaks in my life... of all types... at an average of 250g that's 7.5 tonnes of beef!

using skill ;)

1. let the meat reach room temp (like 30 mins out of the fridge

2. season and oil

3. place on griddle/chargril/pan/bbq/rocker cover... dont squash it with your tongs like people seem to like to

4. cook for a couple of miunutes then turn

5. cook again for a lil while until the meat just starts to firm to the touch (read: as soon as the consistency changes)

6. remove from heat and place on cake rack to rest.

7. rest for 5 mins, then turn over and rest for a further 5 mins

8. return meat to pan for no more than 30 seconds

9. serve

how much does it cost?!

i rkn if i starve myself the whole day i'll be able to..

$40 if you fail, $20 with a free t-shirt if you eat it all, including the sides, in under 30 minutes

Whats this challenge you speak of? Provide details kthx

This Michelle Bridges chick is alright...

see above, outback jacks. 1kg of rump, and I estimated it at about 4-500g of vegies, 3-500g of wedges...Originally I thought the sides would be the same as they are on the normal steak meals - chips, a bit of coleslaw and salad...I would've done that no worries. But 500g of vegies AND thick wedges slows you down quite a bit...Still, I didn't feel I was in form going into the challenge and still only just fell short, so on a good day I think I could do it..

I'll add it to the list, bit of a journey but might be worth a look

As for cooking thick steaks, I'm no chef but they seal them in a pan then finish them off in an oven. At the Vlado's place I went to (renowned for being a PROPER steak place) if you ordered the eye fillet anything more than medium rare, they butterfly it out so it's thin and can be cooked like that...Shouldn't go anymore than medium rare on a good steak though

Side note: Mrs Parma's - I gave it 2 stars... Parma was nothing to write home about for a joint that claims to practice the 'art of parmology', and they gave us 1 bowl of chips and 1 bowl of salad between the 3 of us...Won't be re-visiting that one.

it's a preference as to where the steaks are finished.

i am a fan of sealing them to rare and then finishing them in a hot oven, however many places will use the chargrill all the way.

imho this tends to lead to a steak that is more caramalised on the outside, but less even in texture.

always remeber that the doneness of a steak should be reflective of the marbling of the individual piece of meat.

for example

an eye fillet is the only steak that should be eaten rare, however medium rare is just as good.

a good scotch/ribeye will be better enjoyed at medium as the fat has a chance to melt into the meat and will actually make it more tender than med rare

having said this a ribeye from the larger end of the ribcage will have less fat and will require less cooking, hence in a good restaurant it's always better to let the chef decide how the steak is cooked

don't cover it in foil when resting?

i never do.

the point of resting is to lower the temperature so the protein strands in the meat relax hence making the flesh more tender.

the blood will also drain out. even a rare steak should not bleed on the plate

I see... Personally don't think I could go any rarer than medium rare...The med. rare at Vlado's was right on the borderline of just being edible (for me), it's probably a true medium rare...Problem with most everyday places that aren't full on steak houses etc is they don't nail the doneness...If I'm at your average pub for a steak, I might even order rare because I know they're likely to overcook it. Can be a bit of a risk if they nail it rare, and it's too rare for me, but hasn't really gone wrong yet..

At a proper steak joint I'd ask for it med rare as they're more likely to know what they're doing

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
