I think it was Beef chuck comes from the forequarter of the animal consisting of parts of the neck, shoulder blade and upper arm. It's usually used for stewing because it's a bit tough and chewy. So if you braise it for a long time it softens up and is delicious in goulash ect.

Think the word you were looking for was tenderiser. It may have helped break down the fibres in the steak, but cheap steak is always going to be chewy. You can't go wrong with Aldi Fillet steak, nearly 3 pound more but very tasty and tender. I can't do chewy steak, puts me right off.

@deathstarHQ2 жыл бұрын
Cheaper cuts of steak need to be cooked in a specific way to stop them be tough when chewing.... cook them to between medium-Rare and Medium, anything under or over that will result in a shortening of the connective tissue, which in cheaper cuts from nearer the legs of the animal will not relax after resting the steak. The cut you have is taken from below the rump nearer the top of the leg, other steaks that need this particular cooking are flat iron and skirt steaks, all these steak are very near the parts used for braising/stewing steak, brisket and featherblade which is why they will always be tougher. but cooked to the right temperature and they are just as good as your prime steaks for tenderness.

Another top video. You should get an award for all the useful info you provide to people who want to eat reasonably well on a budget. With regard to being chewy, back in the 1960's when I was at school I remember our domestic science teacher telling us firmly never to put salt on raw steak because it made the meat tougher. I don't know if it is true, but I've never done so, instead I season it after I have seared it for a couple of seconds each side. As for what sort of steak it is I would say that was a ranch steak - which (as I understand it) is basically a slice of topside, hence the round shape. My current personal favourite is the Aldi 32 day aged or the Lidl 28 day steak. Both are, I believe rump, and like yours they work out at around £2 a pop, however when I can get one I'm also very partial to a nice bit of Filet or indeed a Rib-eye. I've also enjoyed some nice Bavette steaks but they are difficult to get as its really a french cut. Apropos the meat tenderiser I still have one... Happy days.

Hello Gareth, the steak you had was from the Hind quarter of beef righ up at the top of the back leg, it's called a top rump and in it's whole it would normally weigh as a joint around 6 lbs and its a roasting joint with is next to the topside of beef and to be honest you pay for what you get, and being just a roasting joint it's not the best cut for a steak as you found it will be chewy, you cooked absolutely perfectly and let to rest and again i know that you prefer your steak a bit more well done but if you did you would still be chewing it lol, I would stay clear of what they call a steak while in reality it's a slow roasting joint, brilliant as always mate 🍻🙏

Usually I make steak dianne with a tenderised flat steak, flash fry it, chuck in some brandy, set alight, once burned off take the steak out, keep it warm, add some beef stock and some finely diced shallots, reduce it down, add tomato puree and diced flat leaf parsley, you get a nice sauce then to pour over the steak. serve it with home made french fries, delish!!

Had one of those gadgets too at home Gareth, but we weren't as posh to call it a 'Tenderiser'..in our house it was just called a Meat Hammer 😁. Gutted i didn't keep my Ma's when we cleared her house after she passed away, a rolling pin doesn't have quite the same effect. Great vid, a bit 'moo-y' that steak for me😂..like em a bit more done👍.

You need to get a basic, digital cook thermometer - it means that you get the desired taste and texture and don't get food poisoning. A very good investment (about £9 to £15 for a good one)

Always take the steak out the fridge 30 minimum to an hour before you cook it! :)

I wonder how it would be basted with butter and garlic after the sear. Looks spot on for 2 quid bud

Batter steak with a meat tenderiser... Easy to get, but if you can't and have a good sturdy rolling pin, put steak into a freezer bag and batter it with the end the rolling pin (great stress relief)... Other way it to cook in beer or red wine.... I have gone off cooking red meat so making it has to be oven or very quickly.... I find a lot of red meat now is 'tough' and will only buy fillet or a nice oven roast beef. I will try Aldi as recommended.

The best thing to do with these is to cut them almost in half horizontally, form them to a butterfly shape and fry it in butter with a little garlick. Two slices of bread with a little butter... best sandwich in the world.

That steak was too rare for me. Just 30 seconds longer would have made a difference. My favourite steak is also ribeye, but I haven't eaten one for months, so heck knows how much the price has increased to. Hang on, I'll just check the websites. Aldi £3.69 for 195g, Tesco £4.30 for 227g.

I find the heat levels are inconsistent with Icelands stuff, especially the scarily hot pizza and currys. Sometime they are hotter than other times. Morgan

Hi Gareth. The mallet that you are talking about is called a tenderiser, I can remember wooden and metal ones. Old butchers had them when meat was not sold in plastic ! Best wishes from a 35° day in Thailand. Don.
