Qantas Business Class meals & menus

Steaks can be done proper on aircraft- had SQ, EK, JAL and CX do it to perfection in the past but then again, at least CX and JAL have also managed to give me shoesole crisp on different occasion.

Safest bet to counter the potential dryness is providing some kind of sauce or, better even, Fois Gras :p

Ironically the worst steak I have ever had on a plane was cooked perfectly medium rare in Qantas First out of Los Angeles. It tastes of horrendous, poor quality US beef.

I’d rather a medium well piece that doesn’t taste like the cow was disease ridden. FWIW I think Qantas international meals are quite good usually, the repetition has just become boring.
 
Not QF, but speaking of steaks, I had this steak on CX472 a few weeks ago - it was pretty legit and tasted excellent for a plane meal (and on a barely >1.5hr flight too!)

It was prime Australian beef tenderloin too.

Just the diamond char on the steak itself made it look immediately better than the below I got on QF29 a few years ago (which, minus the typical presentation on QF, was also surprisingly good too):

Not sure I can get my head around how small that QF steak appears to be.
