Eating out ideas for the picky eater

[ashdgee]

Good day,

I am used to making my own meals at home but I admit there are days when I am tired. Are there any restaurants that serve nice steaks but NOT cooked in the usual seed oils such as sunflower, canola etc ?

Ideally I'd love steaks and vegg cooked with tallow or ghee and my friend in the US told me that there are some outlets that do that there. I wonder if South Africa has such ? (Im in Pretoria East but Cape Town recommendations also welcome).

Oh now I am curious... Why do you NOT want a steak cooking in a seed oil?

 

[Sinbad]

Why the **** would you go anywhere that fries a steak?

@ashdgee You've never been to Spur or Turn 'n Tender?

Any of the good steak houses likely use butter (close enough to ghee)

Call these and ask.

With regards to the smoking hot thing, don't do this with a non-stick pan. Theres chemicals in these things that get released at very high temperatures.

 

[airborne]

Airfryer set to 200deg for 8/9 min, put the steak in a little tinfoil bed of sorts so it can cook in its juices.
Perfection.

Why the **** would you go anywhere that fries a steak?

Why the **** wouldn't you eat a pan fried steak? It's delicious if done properly.
