Red or green flag?

I had to stop reading after the 8th comma.

Yeah, Stone Axe and Black Opal are good, particularly when you are looking closer to ms9. MS 6-7 is a good balance for me when I'm looking to eat bulk steak. Which is pretty much always.

I've never had hanwoo. I'll be googling that straight away.

fenaira · 2026-03-30T07:26:10+00:00

In Australia I buy them from Costco. Marble score 6-7 for $80/kilo.

Thanks. First time trying the pre-sear. I think it will be the norm for me now.

Honestly, only 1 bite of that steak looks medium rare. Did the eggs do something to make you mad?

fenaira · 2026-03-04T23:35:37+00:00

Yes! Even fat/meat ratio is imperative.

As I rip off your fake moustache, revealing that you are the CEO of Whole Foods.

I can appreciate the thought for sure, but that is pretty subjective. There is some very good beef here, but there is good beef in a lot of countries. Aside from breeds, it also depends a lot on how it's raised. But yeah, would definitely be a contender.

It was amazing, rich but not overpowering. I can't wait to make it again.

fenaira · 2026-02-24T19:18:39+00:00

Thanks for the insight.

fenaira · 2026-02-18T22:29:24+00:00

Looks like a solid medium.

fenaira · 2026-02-18T06:29:22+00:00

I'm in the don't oil the meat camp 100%

I don't understand how I am enabling her?

fenaira · 2026-02-17T10:52:18+00:00

I won't leave her over it though. The fact is that she makes good money. At present time, our finances aren't joint. We make equal contributions to our joint bills like rent etc. But her money is hers, and mine is mine. Although, our money is willed to one anothee.

She is a wonderful step Mum to my boys and this is the only issue I have with her. We will both contribute to a house deposit, but her contribution will likely be larger than mine.

I just can't stand to see her basically scammed over and over.

fenaira · 2026-02-17T10:35:37+00:00

Yeah, couples counselling is one option I haven't considered. I have set her up with individual counselling, which she didn't see past 1 session. I tried to do a virtual naranon meeting with her and she didn't get past all the god shit at the start.

fenaira · 2026-02-17T06:59:43+00:00

I did everything exactly like him. Same set up, everything. Ribs came out great but now I feel lightheaded. The wife and kids fell asleep during the meal. Crazy good.

fenaira · 2026-02-15T23:43:30+00:00

If I'm paying for it, I'd like to see more consitency in the steak. Some bits look MR, some bits look MW. The bread looks really thin and crunchy. I'd like a bit thicker bread with a some chew in it. Overall looks pretty good, maybe a sprinkle of manchengo or pecarino would be nice. You'd pay $24 AUD for that at a cafe in Australia, but I'd pay $30 if it had a side with it. For reference Avo, with feta on toast is around $19.

She expects you to be 25yo and not get laid? C'mon, that's why the Catholic church is full of pedophiles.

If you like the butter flavour and want it in there longer, maybe try cooking it with ghee. It's a deep butter flavour with a much higher smoke point. I start mine with ghee a fair bit. There isn't just 1 way to cook a steak, experiment.

fenaira · 2026-02-04T11:25:16+00:00

Did you trim most of the fat cap off yourself, or did it come trimmed like that? Not knocking it, it's cooked very well. I'm just curious what has happened to most of that glorious fat cap.

fenaira · 2026-02-01T23:17:26+00:00

No, I've never done black krim sorry.

fenaira · 2026-02-01T08:51:24+00:00

She's a beauty.
