Cloudy with a chance of meat ballsed

My father, for reasons unknown decided to show me what, for reasons unknown, he had done with the small, peppered beef joint we were having for lunch.

It was early in the morning and I had been pondering if I was able to put away the nearly completed jigsaw puzzle and go and shower.

He said he thought it would make it easier to pan fry. I said I had, as discussed the previous evening, intended to roast it.
