I thought I'd try the recipe for 'the best steak in the world' that I saw Heston Blumenthal make on Saturday Kitchen this morning.

It involves blowtorching the rib-steak (on the bone) til crispy outside (apparantly to kill off the bacteria) then 'cooking' it in the oven @ 50C for 24 HOURS!! Apparantly there's a perfectly scientific reason for this... we'll see, it's in the oven now!

I'll update this post and let you know how it goes. Great fun with the blowtorch!!

(also, the joint of beef is massive and it only cost a fiver from the local market - get in!)
