Australian cooking in the 70’s was a lawless wasteland – SBS food

    WTF…..beef fillet 40 mins in the oven at 230C. That’s a bigger crime than the avocado and peach

  2. That beef needs some caramelisation, and everything else needs some finesse.

    This is like the OG Surprise Chef with Aristos, dude literally cooked what was in some random persons trolley

  3. My “mind’s tongue” simply can’t combine these flavours. Still, in the culinary desert that was growing up in 70s and 80s Australia, this was probably delicious.

  4. I might give this a test drive when the family is out at a movie or something, just in case it goes peach-shaped.😄

    I never would think to use avocados in the oven and inside meat. I thought they would go brown.

  6. For many of us, this wouldn’t be the first time we have seen someone beat their meat on SBS.

    I thought avocados had only become readily available in Aus more recently than that

    Moments like these, even if you have absolutely 0 knowledge of history or global politics, it’s glaringly obvious we were colonised by the British

  9. Can’t tell if the chef’s smile whilst he’s pounding his meat is because he knows how diabolical this dish is…

    Like seriously, there’s gotta be more microplastics in that meat from bashing a coating of BPA rich cling wrap into it than there is the average human foetus these days!

  10. Are you sure this is from the 70s?

    SBS television didn’t start until 1980 and I don’t think avocados become commonplace until the 80s.

    A particularly fine fillet…. then proceeds to hammer the ever loving shit out of it for a solid minute and a half 😆 🤣 😂

    Wait until you hear about the 70’s classic pub meal, “Hawaiian steaks”.

    Grab a can of spam and take out the meat. Cut a couple of slices at ~1cm thick off the broad side, so it’s about the size of a piece of bread. Open a can of pineapple rings at take a couple of rings out. Throw them all on a grill until cooked. Plate each grilled ‘steak’ with a grilled pineapple ring on top and serve with chips.
