    So many meals are better 2nd time round. if I had the patience I’d leave my slow and low brisket chilli overnight after the first cook, as it stands, I just make a huge batch instead knowing that I’ll dig into it on the first night. Always better the day after.

    I do look through a lot of steaks to find the right marbling, yes a good fillet should have a bit too, here are the last ones I got, seasoned, oiled and ready to go.

    like a nice bit of fillet, but its too dear now for me

    Try Aldi. Their steak is excellent and half the price of Tesco/Sainsburys.

    Agreed. Not only half the price, but better. It is where I go for my steak.

    Steaks look nice, Neil. I approve of your choice of ribeye, which has far more flavour than fillet! I usually either have that or sirloin, cooked medium rare on a griddle pan.

    For me, fillet is only good for doing something like a Wellington, or perhaps Steak Diane or Tournedos Rossini, when there's a sauce to give the meat a bit more flavour, and you want something soft in texture.

    Otherwise you need some nice FAT marbling, for tenderness and FLAVOUR!!

    Tonight’s choice, no good fillets. I do prefer a flat pan over a griddle though for steak.
