OK I actually cooked all this the day after the Grubski thing went up but I just remembered to post it here!!! I cooked a rump steak (with salt and pepper) and ate it with some store bought prepared salad. It was delicious and surprisingly easy to make.

This is the standard store brand rump steak - there is also the premium store brand but I decided to go for the cheaper version this time because I haven't cooked steak in years and I was worried I'd mess it up.

Dessert:

The hob. My crappy flat has a crappy electric hob which takes about five minutes to just heat up. Then add the time taken to get the temperature of the pan up and cooking is quite a chore. I miss gas. Wherever I live next, this will be a non-negotiable condition.

I forgot to buy a mesh to catch the spitting oil so I just held a sieve over the pan while it cooked. It's a good thing that steak doesn't take very long to cook.

It's definitely cooked. I would have liked this part a bit more rare.

With the salad:

I watched this while watching Twin Peaks. I've just finished the first season. IT'S SO GOOD. So good.
