I was just watching Something for the Weekend and Simon Rimmer made Teryaki Beef. These were seared and basically rare. Good stuff

Amanda Hamilton, who was a veggie but has started eating meat, said that she wouldn't try it because it was rare and that she was moving slowly into trying meat dishes.
I recall that a few months back they had Steak Tartare and she flatly refused to try that.


Anyway, I was wondering about veggie throughts on eating meat. I would have thought that having the meat "Au Naturale" would be a good starting point instead of tough, overcooked meat.



I was brought up on tough, overcooked food, any trace of pink in beef or lamb wasn't tolerated and it was only in my teens when I started to eat steaks medium rare.

I'm dissapointed now when I have a steak that is overly pink.



Just wondered about your views

non pink red meat is disgusting and tasteless quite frankly.

My steak has to be rare. No if's or buts........

I've never been a veggie, but I too was brought up on overcooked food. To the point that roast beef was crumbly. I don't think I even realised that roast beef could be pink until I was in my teens. My mum still cooks it this way, I just love a good rare steak, however getting a good one isn't always easy, but when I do it's just brilliant. Mmmm

Rare steaks in a pub/restaurant around here are a rarity

The best i've had recently was from a 2-4-1 pub. I aked for rare and was expecting meduim at best. This thing was still mooing! Great steak for the price. It came out around £6.50 for 10oz Sirloin, 2 (small) Jacket spuds, peas, mushrooms, tomatoes.

Just watched last weeks show and they had Tuna tartare (ahi poke) which she didn't seem to have a problem eating.
