In their cooler where the meat is aging - the most important aspect of the whole process - is a good smell of blue cheese. In cooking his perfect steak, Heston has to decide which cut from which breed is best. "Supermarket steaks" are generally inferior to higher grade product, which is why he believes most people prefer more flavorless but tenderer fillets. But he instead chooses a forerib of beef from a Longhorn cattle. What the cow is fed over the course of its lifetime is equally as important. To cook the steak, he slow cooks a roast before flash frying individual steak portions from that roast. As an accompaniment, he chooses to make a mushroom ketchup, full of umami flavor that compliments beef so well. The final touch is injecting that essence of blue cheese that he smelled in the meat cooler. For his iceberg lettuce salad, he provides tips for keeping the lettuce crisp. Written by Huggo See less
