Instagram post 2203219497647606882_2136013391 Top tip for serving the best steak. I always prefer to season the board that I carve and rest on when serving something like a T-bone. Black pepper, garlic and rosemary take on entirely different flavours when you simply rest toss the meat through, rather than cooking a peice of steak in the pan which was seasoned with it. It also makes for easier sharing and pretty presentation. The cut used here is a dry aged Tbone from a locally reared Dexter, from @perrysofeccleshall New dates for the couples steak nights in janruary and February at @perrysfieldtofork Are coming soon, be sure to follow my pages to be the first to know about them! #steak #cooking #foodie #foodporn #tio #nutrition #cookingtip #britishmeat #dexter #tbone #fillet #sirloin #pitmaster #eat #protein #ootd
Instagram post 2185553196238416751_2136013391 #steaknight at @perrysfieldtofork went down a treat. We were nervous as it was our launch event for the date night series so anything could have happened... Nice little 2.5hr #datenight workshop as a sample of what we at the school, focusing on all things steak. Loads to do and eat and no washing up for you afterwards! A room full of people who don't like anyone messing with their steaks and I had to cook a dozen of them in a dozen different ways, but we got thumbs up all round! Also treated them all to a little 230something day aged ribeye to demonstrate reverse sear. Everyone became masters of temperature and pan control aswell as identifying different cuts where they are from and a little of the science of flavour. Absolutely lovely crowd tonight! Taster plate to finish the night was a sample of super simple, yet bold flavours: Christmas's sprouts and bacon, reverse sear fillet, truffles and garliced bonemarrow and parmesean hassleback potato. #food #foodie #perrys #butcher #steak #meat #protein #nutrition #localbutcher #dryagedbeef #bbq #pitmaster #britishbbq

Brown it with spices, garlic and onions and make a one pan chilli. You won't regret it. Might pop a video up about it later, idk, 🤷🏻‍♂️. #butchery #beef #shin #protein #nutrition #food #foodie #chilli
Instagram post 2162702580508487009_2136013391 Don't you wish your food-tech lessons were like this as a kid? When I was in school, I remember the lessons quite well... I am lucky, as a kid, having always been allowed to run free in the kitchen, 10 year old me was puzzled when our teachers taught us to make 'soup'... We were asked to bring in a tin of soup, like tomato, beef broth or chicken and then added a few cut up vegetables to it - informed that this skill of making a cheap meal would serve us well in later life. Instead, today, in the lesson delivered for these kids, we talked about, herbs, oils, colours, textures and tastes, before using a chicken carcass and offcuts to make our own stock, before then making a hearty chicken noodle soup for all to enjoy! We are super happy that one of the local schools took a leap of faith and decided to allocate a portion of their teaching budget to having the kids come to us for their lessons. A chance to get into the schools and work with the kids when they are super interested and engaged. Working with them outside of the classroom is awesome and incredibly important if we want to make a difference! Keep watching this space to see this project grow as we offer workshops and more to schools and fammilys over half term 💪 Find out more by following my updates and checking out: @perrysofeccleshall & @perrysfieldtofork #food #nutrition #health #nutritionist #kidsnutrition #healthylifestyle #fitfam #iifym #foodie #learning #learn #eccelshall #staffordshire #shropshire

I like to sniff her head sometimes, which people think is weird. Happy 3rd birthday 🎉 #gsp #germanshorthairedpointer #gundog #birthday #pointer_feature #pointer #wag #ilovemydog #dogsofig

Its likely going to be defended upon by the droves of shexy shrimp in the tank as I don't have clowns to host it. But I think sexy shrimp wiggling their bits around an anenemoe looks pretty cool too. #marinefish #anemone #fish #fishkeeping #hobby #relax #sexyshrimp

Instagram post 2035665657084854772_2136013391 Meal prep like a pro, with @perrysfieldtofork & @perrysofeccleshall Cannot wait to get my students in the kitchen at the cookery school, which is sooooo nearly complete... I've been holding back my recipie books and videos for the launch and am itching to get going... Today I've created three meals for Jens lunchboxes for the weekend, ranging from beef shin chilli (see our video from a few weeks ago for this one) Thinly sliced Japanese beef salad Shredded chicken and green bean salsa. Everything will be taught on the various classes and courses we will run #britishmeat #mealprep #fitpro #foodie #iifym #protein #steak

Instagram post 2018813437995539566_2136013391 Photo from the competition a few weeks ago. Event 2 had a 5 min time cap and required us to work through the complex of: 1x full clean, 1x hang clean, 2x front squat, 2x Overhead press The complex had to be performed Unbroken (the bar cannot touch the ground) One event that was a little more to my strengths. I spent a full 15mins warming up in the athlete area before this event, until the last possible second, so that I could open on a solid weight rather than spend valuable time building during the time cap. This was my opening lift. I placed first in the first 30 seconds of lifting. (granted this was always going to be an event I was going to do well in) I did everything to make the event as easy as possible for myself by preparing. I've competed in various sports over the years and it seems to be common across all of them, that many, many people don't warm up sufficiently. As coaches we really need to promote the importance of proper preparation for lifting ESPECIALLY where maximal effort is concerned, or variables the lifter/athlete comes into contact with are going to be unpredictable, such as in team and contact sports. Basically... Just all round.. Teach your clients to warm up properly!! #gym #lift #Squats #squat #fitfam #muscle #coach #rainhill #crossfit #strongman #wod #train #strong Photo by @petewilliamsonphotography

Stop buying expensive steak mince from the supermarket and look at some of these far cheaper and more flavoursome cuts! Youl get way more for your money, richer taste and be able to support local businesses! #butcher #protein #mealprep #foodie #nomnomnom #eat #gym #fitfam #iifym
Instagram post 2012263473777499534_2136013391 Do you have a decent warm up routine for your sessions? Mobility movements are crucial in getting you ready for proper lifting, I usually program 8 to 10 minutes of pulse raising, followed by mobilisation movements, light carries, posture focused movements and some dynamic stretches. Here's an old favorite, the spider / spiderman lunge with a twist. A lunge that brings together hip mobility and thoracic mobility to use as part of the warm up, to really open you up before squatting, pressing or oly lifting sessions. Program this movement in after your pulse raiser and once you've performed some of your basic mobilisation, before you begin anything loaded with weight. What's a must do movement for you? I personally can't lift without loosening my low-back off and doing some band work for my shoulders and arms! As always, Thankyou to @cfallied for allowing us to film. #wod #crossfit #gym #warmup #mobility #ladieswholift #lunge #fatloss #fitfam #muscle #mobilitywod #train
Instagram post 2011832697198035136_2136013391 So, I started seeing this crossfit chick back in 2018... I was super into her and wanted to impress her so went to one of her crossfit classes as a way to spend a bit more time together. In the spirit of constantly trying to impress her, I ended up entering a competition this weekend at the @therainhilltrials where they made me run around and jump over things and lift stuff... A lot. .. I tell you what.. one thing I have really gotten an appreciation for, since trying my hand at crossfit is Pacing. You see, my history of sports, never required this sort of sustained effort. Strongman is a sport that involves tactics sure and pacing the big lifts over shorter time periods, the most reps, lift the most weight or do the sprint the fastest - but never in my training career have I had to chip away at workouts like I have here When I was a linebacker for my university team I just did loads of rowing and trained mostly GVT style outside of training drills. When I did shot and hammer, I just needed mobility and some decent strength endurance... Before joining Jen at @cfallied I realise had no concept of pacing in training. I feel very niave as a coach (an arguable very experienced coach) to not have had any real appreciation of pacing in a race sport or this sort of hybrid power endurance sport, Having never taken part in them. I thought I was conditioned because I could run 100meters with 300kg over my. Shoulders and throw 10kg over a house or drag a car up a hill. I thought the prowler work we did for powerlifting was tough... I feel I have a new appreciation as to why it really helps coaches, to get stuck into various sports or persuits practically aswell as theoretically. I'm very fortunate in that, at Crossfit Allied I have seen programing for this sport done intelligently, with proper coaching and managing of lifters of all ability levels. I had a pretty enjoyable day with my homie @originalandpest and home girl @nicola_equestrianfitness eating all the moam and of course, would have been somewhat lost without @_jennybell_ by my side. #strongman #health #fitfam #iifym #gym #crossfit #lift #coupleswholift #muscle #burpee #wod
