How do you have it and whats your favourite cut?
I fucking LOVE steak, has to be done either Rare or Blue for me. Love Ribeye as the fat gives it awesome flavour.

Rare for me, ate so much steak in the US - I've probably got cancer.
I always bottle the timing when doing it myself and leave it in for 30seconds too long.

Blue, although most places won't go that blue due to bullcrap H&S. Fillet, sirloin, rib-eye, rump, tbf anything

I'll be honest, years ago I used to have it well done I saw the light and now have it medium. So much softer and easier to chew!
I once made a waiter at a local steak house giddy when I jokingly asked him to do my mates steak blue, he was up for it

Yeah, i find most places err on the side of "caution" and over do them, so you usually get a step up from what you asked for. Annoys the hell out of me.

When i was young i always went well done because my mum used to scare monger me Shes a right fanny when it comes to meat. I just worked my way up, had it at medium rare for ages, but now i wont eat anything over rare. Just tastes so much better.

Recommend any butchers round here Jonny?
My idea of rare is 3 minutes, turning every 30. I've read some "guides" for blue which say three minutes - but IMO you're into rare territory past 2mins.
My steak is always at room temperature too before cooking.

I can't bare the thought of having it rare! Basically eating flesh! Got to be at least medium. I also like it medium well

Rare.
Tend to always go for rump... As you know exactly where the fat is to avoid it.
With rib eye, siroloin - you get sneaky fat which appears from nowhere.
Fillet is to pricey to fill up on.

The one near Abbey Walk is pretty good mate. Forgot the name but if you come from Morisons, go in between Abbey Vaults pub and Yorkshire Bank, down there, turn right when you get to the middle and its just down there on your right.

Depends where I'm eating tbh 
Usually ribeye medium rare, it's easier to cook consistently well
Fillet is a bit more of a challenge...rare in some places where it's an inch thick, medium rare in places where it's 2" thick.
Never blue though (you fucking pagans) all steak needs some charcoal flavouring to it

Aye had some chicken before from there. I'm normally fishing on saturday daytime and the missus is too lazy to go do a meat shop so normally end up with Morrisons stuff
