SteaK

Medium-sized pieces of beast, with a little olive oil, salt, and black pepper rubbed in to each side. The potatoes have been peeled, sliced, and boiled soft already and the AG is pounding them into smash with milk, butter, and pepper to assist. The corn has thawed in boiling water and is hot and put into a serving dish.

The flesh hits the almost-red-hot pan with an angry sizzle. Some smoke vanishes up the exhaust fan and the outside starts to brown.

A minute slowly ticks past.

Another minute slowly ticks past.

The spatula and tongs flip the flesh - more seething sizzle and two more minutes of heat. The top is nicely etched with medium-brown lines on a grey background; the bottom suffers more.

Two minutes are up ... slice into a steak.......really pink. good.

Serve it all quickly and everyone's happy with flesh-in-face.
