Showing the MMX to a friend with reverse twice seared steak, flambe shot!

Stormbringer

We have a friend visiting from (literally) the other side of the planet. She's seen pictures of cooks, so I asked her what she'd like to try out from the Egg. "Those thick steaks you cook that are sliced, pink on the inside and look crisp on the outside" she replied. Well that's good news because I love cooking reverse twice seared steak in the MMX. Washed down with a 2014 Mullineux Syrah and Ata Rangi Pinot Noir, the latter having been bought by our guest.

Second stage of the sear with melted bone marrow:


Plated with triple cooked chips and some broccoli:


SWMBO made her excellent Madeira based mushroom sauce again, love that stuff:

As always, that looks wonderful! Did you ever post the recipe for the mushroom/madeira sauce? Didn't see it on your blog.

Thanks! SWMBO is putting the finishing touches to it, she made a slight change last night and it was noticeably better. I think it will be up either this Friday or the following. I'll also post it here in the sauces bit.

Shucks, it's a hard life experimenting with quality foods .

Cheers bud. Gotta say that the BGE deities were good to us last night and the MMX showed itself in fine style with that steak it was awesomely good. Our guest is probably going to be getting one when she returns home, at the moment they have a gas powered Weber thingy.

I see you are taking a page out of @bgebrent's playbook!

LOL.  @Stormbringer, you might want to pre-order your replacement handle.

Great looking food, but are those Christmas lights on the tree?

They are outside lights adorning the tree trunk. SWMBO is really into outside lighting of ... well, everything, including underneath the glass table-top:

@Stormbringer The food looks fantastic, I have done a reverse sear on prime rib, can you explain this reverse twice seared process to me?

Easily one of the coolest shots I have seen on the forum. 

Great looking meal meal right there. Not surprised your friend is now considering the MMX.

By the way, we still have the "two countries separated by a common language" thing going on.

I see a lovely pile of fried, crisp potato chips.

I did go through my food blog and tag everything that mentioned triple cooked chips with "fries" though.

Our guest took a short clip of the second sear stage, @Kent8621 you can see yet more lighting in the background:
