Extreme cooking with Ak

Well not me precisely 

Roast Beef with the trimmings

The beef:
1 joint aged rib of beef, on the bone, or aged sirloin, on the bone
A little olive oil or good fat
Salt, fresh ground black pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 2200C.

This dates from 2001 so I figure that one can laugh a bit.

    Last year I killed a steer on 1 November and asked my small local abattoir to hang it until mid-December. Then I chose my sirloin roast and hung it myself in a cool outbuilding until Christmas Eve. I had to trim off a fluffy bloom of mould and a few iffy bits.

    I consider the concept of a bloom of mould off-putting, even if the oven is being heated to 2200 C.

    2200 C is glassblowing firebrick-kiln temperatures, DO NOT WANT.

    This dates from 2001
    I think you mean "dates from 201".

    I was trying to find an original version of the column in the Wayback Machine, stumbled across a really depressing reference to a Telegraph editorial and gave up.

    If only it had been 1800 years away.

    2200 C is beyond glass-blowing temperatures. Firebrick? I wouldn't use beyond 1300. Maybe 1500 if I knew the supplier and had tested some out at that temp.

    Over 2000 C you are looking at specialty high density ceramics (meaning expensive). Quartz even is iffy as it glass transitions in that area (butif you need an air-tight seal, quartz is probably the way to go). Personally I like a high MgO material but you do have to be careful of the thermal stability through the phase change (IIRC somewheres around 1200).

    Apparently beef blowing is hotter.

    I knew I should have gotten the Viking oven. My cheapo oven only goes to 1900C.

    "Set the controls for the heart of the sun" shouldn't apply to oven heat.

    Sounds like the issue of furriness had already been raised by the aged sirloin steak.
