Food Style? Argentinian Steakhouse
I'm in the mood for steak and what better place to have steak than an Argentinian restaurant. If there was two of me, I could have gone for the mixed platter but alas, I've settled for a rib eye. The waiter asks if I want to try an ox rib eye; it's more expensive but better, he says. I'm not too sure so I stick with beef, medium rare.
Entree
Chorizo with chimichurri sauce
I got coaxed into ordering a starter too, since the steak is going to take a while. I didn't want something too big so I went with the classic Spanish spicy sausage, chorizo, with chimi churri. I get the feeling it's precooked and has been fried to warm it up, the inside is still a bit cold. It's a little unpleasant. It tastes okay though, the chimi churi is quite appetising.
Mains
Rib-eye on the bone
The steak arrives and holy moly it is massive. I can do this. It's seasoned very well and it's juicy with that nice smokiness from the grill. There's nothing more for me to say, I just have to power through if I want to finish this.
Halfway through. I regret having the chorizo. I'm definitely slowing down and I don't think I have the momentum. My brain is doing that thing where it's saying the food in my mouth is no longer edible. I can feel my gag reflex coming on. This is a bad sign.
Nope I can't do it. I quit. This is very distressing for me. I stare at my plate solemnly. It was a good, tasty steak but far too much for me, especially after that starter. You could even say this was...
A mistake.
