The Porterhouse steak Heston style is the second Heston style dish I’ve done today. For breakfast I made scrambled eggs Heston style

Here’s a video of Heston on MasterChef Australia describing his cooking technique.

 

 

Unfortunately, Heston doesn’t complete the TimTam Slam in this video. 

So tonight I used a Porterhouse steak which is a little unusual for me because I prefer rib fillet. Given the cost of living, the cost of meat and the need to budget more carefully I went with Porterhouse steak.

To accompany my porterhouse steak I had an avocado that I coated with pepper and chilli flakes. I also prepared a simple fennel salad with red onion, parsley and capers.

I drained the lemon juice out of the fennel salad by straining in a coffee filter paper.

You can see the steak is rare in the middle and nicely coloured on the outside. The fat could have been rendered better but it was fine (I like animal fat).

So how do you like to cook your steak?

  1. Looks delicious Gary! Perfectly cooked. I also enjoy the fat on my steak. The photo of the dish with the green avocado looks smashing! 🙂

    1. Thank you. The steak was really nice, rare and juicy. I love avocado that is just ripe. This one was really nice 🙂
