    I prefer to get my meat from a butcher, I think the prices can be competitive while the quality is always amazing.

    Supermarkets have come a long way on quality and you can get some great stuff now. My brother prefers to do that.

    With steak he will routinely use the supermarket ready-made slaw and oven-fry chips into the air fryer.

    He will also often cook a couple of steaks so he has them for steak sandwich lunches which he can take to work over the next few days.

    Hit with salt then high heat in an oiled pan for 3 minutes each side. Cut the time back if it’s a little thinner.

    Once you get used to your pan and heat source, you’ll be able to get it your exact doneness every time… so make sure you practice.

  • Braised Steak and Onions

    Braised Steak and Onions

    We used to have this on toast for breakfast as kids. One of my absolute favourites.

    Straight from the can. Warmed in a pot or microwave for a couple of minutes, then onto the bread. I remember knowing if there was a different brand used, and really only liked the Kraft one.

    They really don’t make this stuff in cans anymore. Kraft stopped in 2005. There are too many amazing options for fresh meat and vegetables, and to be honest it looked a little like dog food.

    This version is very hearty and still great on toast.

    Pro tips from my brother.

    a) Add a good teaspoon of Vegemite.
    b) Add some peas or carrots at for the last 10 minutes.

    My brother doesn’t get to cook large steaks too often. Overkill for his needs.

    I got to contribute some suggestions during the cook.

    Basically crazy hot pan or grill for a couple of minutes each side for colour, then slow in the oven until its how you like your steak.
