I do occasionally have Steak with Ketchup, mostly due to getting the sauce for the chips and that for the steak mixed up - I can tell you Steak with Ketchup is a lot more appetising than chips with Dijon Mustard.

Raw steak..uulkk.
It just tastes of blood, and I hate the taste of blood.
I'm the well done guy.
In France, you have to ask them to cremate it, then send it back three times....actually don't order steak in France, its usually horse, always a gristle fest and full of parasites.

Totally agree on the steak and ass points.

That ass was jailbait and you know it! (don't ask how i can tell). Also i want to notify everyone that bashed Job for wanking off to teens/pre-teen's and remind you all of the time when you had a morally questionable wank at:

A) That kids show with the eyebrow guy that now has cancer and the girl who's name i cannot remember.

B) Young Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana.

You must go to some fucking terrible restaurants in France.

As for cremating steak; what's the point? May as well save money and eat a burger.

Rare does not equal raw.

Go to a proper restaurant or learn how to cook.

We went to a steak restaurant in Paris and the quality of the meat was very poor. We went to Smiths of Smithfield in London’s meat market and had probably the worst steak ever. You're better off cooking it yourself imo.

I cook a beautifully tender juicy steak at home under the grill using Tesco bog standard stuff. For a fraction of the rip off restaurant prices. Very simple.

Big arse skillet, huge rib eyes and sauce of your choice. Last Sunday I bought Diane from M&S by mistake but turned out to be really nice. Possibly new favourite.

- Place steaks on grill thing
- Salt and pepper both sides
- Place under a high heat to seal them, turning every so often
- Cut the steaks in half & turn heat down to medium
- Turn steaks every couple of minutes
- When the centre of the steaks change colour from red raw to slightly grey, they're done

Cooking yourself is the way to go. Very rarely buy steak in a restaurant.

However, I always buy top quality meat from a top tier provider. Bought an inch-and-a-bit thick 900g T-bone on Saturday for about £20. That's still miles cheaper than I'd have paid if I bought it out and better quality.

Seasoned with salt / pepper, bit of olive oil rubbed on the steak (not in the pan) - red hot griddle. 3 minutes on one side, about a minute an a half on the other (turn only once) before transferring the griddle to the oven for a few minutes whilst I prepared a salad dressing (cyder vinegar, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt and pepper, home made balsamic all mixed up).

Take it out, cover and leave to rest for 5 minutes. Served with baked potatoes (rub with olive oil, salt and pepper before putting them in the oven) and the salad (rocket, baby watercress, pomdorino tomatoes, spring onion).

Rare steak, not bloody, warm all the way through, fat on the outside is crispy, looks like it's still alive, taste to die for. :)

I've been from 40 euro meals in hotels in national parks, to trendy back street restaurants that the locals use, always had a shite steak.

Maybe you just don't like steak?

Stick to fish fingers. You might as well if you cremate your steak. Beef should be pink be it steak or roast...even proper burgers should be a little pink in the middle, otherwise it is over cooked and loses all flavour/texture

Like my steak medium. Ask for it like that in france and its a bit more like mooing. But i can eat it.

Lovely steaks i have had in paris. Best steak ever was an argantinian place in dusseldorf though. Was equisit so tastey.

I had a local "special" sausage in a restaurant in France last year, thinking it'd be a blood sausage or something equally delicious. It turned out to be an offal sausage, stuffed not with meat but intestine.

I don't rate French cuisine particularly highly.

Have to be careful what you order. But bavarian food can be the same. Very offally too.

Still not entirely sure what's worse, ordering a steak cremated or serving a steak with baked potatoes and a salad with fucking rocket in it. Both are a very good way to waste a steak imo.

Much better to fry some onions and mushrooms in a pan, season your choice cut (normally a ribeye for me, either from the butchers or Sainsburys who do a cracking steak) with Schwarz Steakhouse Pepper, cook to suit (rare to medium rare), serve with the mushrooms and onions, some croquettes and a splash of Dijon Mustard on the side of the plate and a nice bottle of Burgundy. Awesomesauce.

For eating out I do love the way the French cook steak, and I've had some cracking steaks in Germany, but my favourites have been:

- Links Clubhouse at St Andrews - finish a long round on the New Course absolutely starving, get in and they have a grill set up out on the patio. Order a T-Bone each, watch them grill it outside, consume. Good lord that was tasty.
- A random steakhouse we found whilst drunk in Cardiff. Another one cooking steak on an open fire, utterly divine
- Miller and Carter in Wilmslow - beauthiful T-Bone, with a lobster tail, bottle of Graves that onion loaf they do and the half an Iceberg with blue cheese sauce.

And now, I am hungry. Dammit.

Who the fuck would have a baked potato with a steak? Rocket is fine as part of a salad though.

Rocket needs to be killed with fire. Rank chewy vegetation that it is.

Middle class food expectations I guess. Can't be eating chips all the bleeding time - and they're more faff to do right too.

Schwartz steakhouse seasoning tho? You may as well wipe your steak on a tramp's arse.

Buy better quality meat if you need to ruin the flavour with that shite...

A friend of mine bought a contraption where you stuff a slab of beef on a stick and yank a crank to spin the beef over an open fire. Then you can season it while it's getting nice and tender. Do want one.

It's just Salt and Pepper with some added Garlic and Chilli for a bit more flavour, lovely stuff if you cook it in it and let the flavours go through the steak.

And chips are a faff? Cut potatoes, put in deep frier for 5 minutes. Job Jobbed.
