Just started working with the only Michelin Star restaurant in Suffolk. They don't want the "prime cuts" they only want to work with more innovative ingredients and make something of the provenance


That's a great achievement @JP1 congrats.

I keep telling her, the moment Lily James or Gemma Arterton come knocking on the door, she’s gone. For some reason she laughs…
They’d be know good with sheep though, think about the practicalities of it!! Two short minutes with Lilly or a lifetimes help with escapee blackies in the middle of the night!!! Ide play the long game if I were you there’s more future in it!! 😂

Impressive stuff!! That meat looks incredible.

I love the use of words in that article too. "keepers and conservators" is a great phrase - WAY better than farmer or breeder. My favourite has to be "extensive diet only based on grass and conserved forage". Does the conserved forage have a particular vintage? It sounds like the terroir is most important. :D

A great way to showcase the breeds, and hopefully keep them going for years to come.

According to Wikipedia Salt Bae is the son of a mine worker and left school at 12 due to financial pressure.

He became butcher and travelled the world working in famous restaurants for free to gain experience before opening his own place in 2014.

He now has a net worth of $50-60 million. Some guy.

reverse sear is a process where you cook slowly at low temperature 110deg) to cook the meat to the required doneness, on a smoker bbq like a green egg usIng lump wood charcoal and damp wood chips that allows the meat to take on a smoked taste. you then sear the meat very quickly on a VERY hot 400deg) grill with butter to create ”crust“ without over cooking the intensl meat

honestly, it’s to die for, I cant order steak in Restaurants any longer as it’s shite by comparison
I`ve been to a few Argentine BBQ`s , those boys know how to cook beef over charcoal .

Does it come with the rest of the beast in a doggy bag?
Theres a great line in the 1994film The Cowboy Way (which I cant seem to upload) when Woody Harrelson is asked how he would like his steak. I'll leave it to you to find ,it's in the trailer about 30 secs in.

Probably not.
Seems a bit of a negative way to get publicity......

......come and buy one of my tups - they're outrageously overpriced and nobody's actually had one.......

Can't see it catching on in the sheep world but I guess fancy restaurants (and the folk who go to such places) are a completely different ballgame :facepalm:

I do this on a regular "half barrel" bbq I bought from the B&Qs "cheapo" range years ago.
I build the fire near one end, charcoal on, when it's hot I heap applewood chippings on it that I've poured a bit of cider on to make them damp (more smoke), put the steak at the far end, so the smoke is "cold". Once the chips have burnt through and you are just left with the hot coals underneath (about half an hour), move the steak to the grill directly over the coals and sear.
The steak should be thick (I'd sooner buy a massive one and carve it after than individual ones) and needs plenty of salt.

I had no idea this was called "reverse searing" it's just a backyard adaption of my days running a smokery, but with beef.
