A (white) plate of medium rare flank steak with chimichurri poured over, with red beans and rice on the background
Marinated some flank steak in chimichurri and served with red beans and rice, and poured fresh chimichurri over the top.
Flipped the steak every minute starting in a cold nonstick pan till it reached 135f and let it rest for 10 mins
Absolutely banging!

John Lewis rice cooker, on a kitchen worktop
Gave my rice cooker a gentle scrub with some pink stuff, and now it looks as good as new!
Not bad to say it's probably 15+yrs old now and used regularly
It's no zojirushi, but it does what I need, and if I need even more rice, I use the pressure cooker
