I have had some conflicting advice
From the chef, Take a frying pan rub it with a garlic clove add a little oil take fillet minon steak and sear each side on high heat then fry slowly on low heat until medium rare
Lady In cafe says grill slowly
chef says grilling drys meat out too much
Some people put it in foil with onions in the ovent, Chef say's it's then roased and often used to try disguise bad steak( Cagmag)
I rarly eat steak at home, but next time I do I'll take the chefs advice with some French mustard. and salad.
This even though Chef said French mustard is for philistines. only Englich freshly made is availabel at his Restaraunt, seems to think he's that Ramsey bloke!

I am sure she didn't mean friends and sausage tonight when she wrote chaps and sausage Lol too funny. I was thinking it was a different food they had down there. Lol
Well I never would have thought people BBQ'd in the winter with snow and all. I am sure it is wonderful and even better in the winter!!!
Goldie, no, pressure cooker is just that a pressure cooker and cooks fast due to pressure. Food is wonderful in a pressure cooker but it is tricky. Great for crowds up north when your out skiing all day and you come home and feed 12 people in a hour or two. Or just your family even. Crocks are more braising all day. Both handy
BTW there are very few places down here where there is snow and as it is summer it is BBQ season, but many people have their BBQs under cover and can use them all year round. My brother cooks most of their meals on theirs all through the year now.
Oh I remember the pressure cookers when they first came out here - they were very prone to blowing their lids and then you not only didn't have anything worth eating but a kitchen to clean from top to bottom. We had one - used it for one meal and got rid of it as it was considered too dangerous, The might have improved a bit since then as I am going back some 50+ years ago now. I will stick to the crock pot thanks.
I have never had lamb chops.. I guess we were ALL wrong LOL.. I will stick to my crock pot too
Oh Goldi I am so sorry for you never having lamb. Come visit and we will kill and butcher one for you. Nothing like organic - straight off the paddock - lamb. Right now we are buying ours and we eat it at least a couple of times a week - chops, roast, stew, sausages.......................... and lamb bones for the dogs.
The lambs look cute but like everything they grow up and by the time they are ready to eat they are big brutes and need to be taken down a peg or two.
Arline that was a great price for the chops BTW. I am sure you enjoyed them.
Traditionally lamb is served with mint sauce or jelly or cooked with rosemary.
I also only like the chops - no other lamb - my mother made stew with lamb chops. Yes, Hath, they were good. I put them on the gas grille.
You would not like life out here then Goldi when you have young Pat hanging in the pantry to cool and the next day lying on the butchering table being cut up and packaged ready fro freezing. And yes all the sheep have names.
I was brought up killing, dressing and eating our chickens so it was not that hard a process to go to eating the sheep - the first was the hardest as he was a real little pet that I had hand raised - the first one to do so. Now it is just a matter of course here. We will be doing another one in the autumn when the nights are cold enough to hang.
Like Arline said it is a mental thing.
Oh, I agree TOTALLY! It IS a mental thing... but it really bothers me if I see the animal. I cant eat it. The same goes for hunting around here. If I see the animal, I cant eat it. I cant eat wild animals. I can eat what I see in a grocery store, because MENALLY ihave convinced myself, they are two different things ! LOL
Mary had a little lamb and then she ate it!!!!
