Best. Steak. Ever.
Tender, well-rested, juicy, flavoursome steak with a rich velvety jus that made for an explosion of flavour. I like the little nuggets of silky bone marrow as well, a subtle but nice nod to nose-to-tail eating.

There was also a nice and charry chargrilled crust and the insides were so buttery soft, I wondered if it was done sous vide.

The sauce was so good, I had to mop it up with bread. It didn't take much of a warmed plate to cause some of the sauce to get baked on, hence the streaks. I even tried scraping it off with a fork!

Deliciously light with a squeeky texture of sesame! Reminds me very much of the 花生贡糖 Chinese peanut candy with a similar layered texture.
