Bakerman just for info James is a famous Yorkshire TV chef here.....he is lovely
I love watching James Martin. He is indeed lovely! So you also need to leave the steak to rest at room temp after taking out of the fridge? I'm starting to see where I've been going wrong.

Yes, only when 'warming" the steak at room temp, it takes several hours, and after cooking it , it only needs to rest (covered) for 5 minutes.

We don't eat much meat, but when we do, our favourite is Pork* shoulder roasted. I might buy it a day or two in advance of cooking, and let in rest for many hours before cooking. This can sometimes mean taking it out the fridge the evening before.

* Polish and Portuguese pork are superior quality & taste.

Is this because others put hormones or antibiotics into the animal?

I noticed that a lot of regular food bought in supermarkets in Portugal tasted pretty good, as though there are less additives. Don't even start me on their wine....ooh lala!

Re: Tip for preping steaks

On the related subject of ham...has anyone done that thing of boiling it in coke first for a couple of hours before squirting honey/syrup (with maybe some cloves stuck in) over it and finishing it off in the oven?

Never understood the purpose of the coke. Have used it and also plain water, with there being no difference in final flavour nor texture.
