A blue steak should be warm in the middle.

Once in my Dads restaurant a customer asked for her steak raw. He cut the steak off the joint, trimmed it up and served it ...xx(
Now we're talking!! Bit of ground pepper on it, possibly a pinch of salt.

I really like rare steak and I'm just grateful that restaurant chefs can manage it cos every steak I do at home comes out somewhere between a generous well done and a visit from the Fire brigade.

Steak chez Cube: Room temp steak (Fillet, Rump or hung Roe Backstrap- others need a little longer for various reasons) heat griddle until smoke alarm goes off, (my griddle takes on a dull blueish white effect when it's ready) brush steak with a smear of olive oil and then add a generous shake of salt and grind of pepper.

Slap steak onto griddle and seal for a minute each side. Remove steak and wrap in foil, rest it for 5 mins minimum. Finally, use blowtorch to crisp any fat and serve.

It'll be warm in the middle.

I introduced the kids to Roe venison a while ago, using the backstrap (loin or fillet) from a young Doe which when cooked as above took no cutting, you could actually scrape the meat away from the steak.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
If your steak is blue you'll need to scrape the mould off before cooking it.

If steak is well done it's ruined!

I knocked up some mince in a spicy tomato sauce on Sunday. I've stuffed it into some sort of mini cannelloni, and am doing it on a bed of spinach with crème fraiche and crumbled left over stilton. We've still got plenty of Gardener's Delight, and I've done a simple vineagrette for the salad. I might knock up some garlic bread toasts.
