Thought it would be rude not to try out a Rib Eye Steak at the Lister Arms in Malham at a recent family outing for Sunday Tea, it’s always quiet on a Sunday evening in Malham as many of the weekend visitors are long gone.
Served with crispy onion rings, a nice big field mushroom, cooked tomato and plenty of chips. I asked for the steak medium and that’s exactly what I got, cooked perfectly, juicy and perfectly to my liking, the photo below does not do it justice as it tasted much better than the pic suggests.
