That is superbly presented and looks absolutely delishhhh..

And the tasters verdict???

A furphy, is Australian slang for a rumour, or an erroneous or improbable story. You would never get anything but the plain honest dinky-di truth here... I promise!!!! Yup, hand on my heart, promise, true blue, uh-huh true dinks, dead set!!

I cooked it for 30 - 35 mins in the 16" Cabelas Camp Chef. About 10 Heat Beads under and 18 on top.

It was so tender you could pull it apart with a fork. Flavour was awesome, Thinkin now of what I can marinate with my other bottle of "Taka Tala" for the weekend. In saying that We have another Cocktail party to host Valentines Night - anything could happen Wink

Gunna Have to wrap the camera in bubble wrap!!! Grin

I am wondering if the marinade had a lot to do with the tenderness...

I recall once, putting a lump of steak (or 6) in a baggie with a marinade that had some chilli and paw paw in it...

Got a bit tired and did not cook that night. Now if 8 hrs marinade is good, then 2 days has to be better....

[insert the Family Feud wrong answer sound here]

Went to the baggie, all ready to have a great steak meal, and put the tongs in and pulled out MUSH!!!!

My first lesson in the use of marinades with tenderising agents... Learnt!!

I have since learnt that apart from paw paw, that kiwi fruit, pineapple and apparently figs, have the same protein dissolving properties...

And vinegar and lemon will do the same to fish. So if you marinade your seafood with either don't leave it sitting for too long!

Jono that meal looks fit for a king!!!

My life is a performance for which I was never given the chance to rehearse.

Nashi pears are also excellent for tenderising.

Cheers

G'day Reb.

Layers of Potato, Sweeeeet Potato (I love sweet potato), Onion, Pumpkin, S&P, Cheese & a bottle of cream over the top. I usually crumble cauliflour through out as well but didn't have any on hand for that one.
It is very good chewing.

Regards
Jono
