Told ya some weeks ago about these. Said they were good. Next time when your resting your steak, wrap it in foil. Makes it even more tender and keeps it warm 👍 At these prices, i have one every week.

with vacuum packed steaks it is good idea, when you take from the fridge, to take it out of the pack and then let it come to room temperature. let it breathe a bit.

God, that steak looks good. I use Garlic butter and I use white pepper, has a slightly different strength to black pepper, it's finer like salt so no need to crack peppercorns but it can flow out a container quickly. I ruined a cast iron pan as a teenager, I refuse to have cast iron since what I do do tho it while the pan is hot I add some oil swirl it around and wipe out all debris gone, then when it's cold I can safely wash it. My nephew taught me to clean pans that had food stuff sticking to it just by using good old fashioned cheap salt, hot water and letting it boil.... Then it's easy to clean, no scourers needed. Thank you for review, I am now officially hungry for steak n mushrooms....

After hard sausage in soggy batter ("I don't mind soggy batter") you deserve this one. Don't put pepper on while cooking because, depending on the temp, pepper burns. The pepper flavour goes down as its volatile aromatic ( C17H19NO3) is driven off by temp. Pepper as it rests, the warmth will loosen up the aromatics and make available the maximum quantity and quality of pepper flavours. Now you know.

If you make a fresh ginger root puree that covers the steak (About two thumb size pieces and enough water to cover the steak in a small dish) Whiz them up and pour onto the steak and leave for about 1-2 hours, rinse and pat dry, you don't really taste the ginger but it tenderizes better than any method I have tried. Great video Gaz, the chicken breast is pretty good from there as well and quite a bit cheaper for the amount you get.

I love a nice Sirloin steak myself. But I would certainly buy this bit of rump. It was a lovely looking piece of meat. Sometimes rump can be a bit tough. Some people go mad on it with a meat mallet to tenderise it. A good tip is to mix some baking soda in some water. Soak the steak in it for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then give it a good rinse and cook to your liking. I like my steaks quite rare and not over cooked. This was a great item to review mate. And it was a great price to boot. When I’m a bit low on shopping cash? I will sometimes buy a couple of medallion steaks. They are cheap and surprisingly tasty. Maybe you should give them a review ? 🤔🤔. I don’t think we have a home bargains shop near me but I’ll give it a Google.

I always find Irish beef in the UK to be of poor quality and seems to always find it's way in to the cheaper shops, But when you have a proper quality Irish steak in Ireland it's completely different. Always remove the steak from it's plastic 30 mins before cooking to get rid the smell of it being packaged and never put butter on the meat in a screaming hot pan, the butter will burn and ruin the meat.

5:46 I find it useful to drizzle some washing-up liquid into the pan while it's still hot, followed by a small splash of water to create a foam. The frothing foam will "lift" a lot of of the fat and caramelised bits from the bottom of the pan, making it easier to wash. Leaving the pan to cool gives the fat/burnt bits time to bind with the pan, making it slightly harder to clean.
@phillwatson92748 ай бұрын
Sorry, that's bad advice, especially with a cast iron pan. The fats or oil will molecularly bond with the iron forming a polymer. It's that which creates the naturally non-stick surface. There is no need to use soap in a seasoned cast iron pan. In fact, it should be avoided.
@ftumschk8 ай бұрын
@@phillwatson9274 Thanks for the advice. However, I've been using this technique for nigh-on thirty years and it's never caused me any problems. Perhaps it's because I don't think I've got any seasoned cast-iron pans. I have a seasoned wok, on which I never use soap.

I am not a butcher, so I may be way off target here, but to me, that looks more like a picanha than a rump steak, and I would be more inclined to braise it than fry it. It is still from the animal’s rump, so it’s not wrong to say it’s rump, but it’s from further up than what we call rump steak in this country, and not quite as tender as frying steak. I wonder if that is why it says “Not for EU” on the packaging - do they have to call it something else to avoid confusion? Still a great bargain at that price, though. I didn’t see the Christmas party last night, I had to go out, but I hope you enjoyed it. 😀🎄
