Aldi rump from a value multipack that had been reduced by 30% - lowering the tone somewhat and yes, I know where the council thread is...





Excuse the bit of jacket potato on the second pic, couldn't be bothered to grab another knife after cutting the spud open.

Just half way through torching a pack of 4 myself! If I'm going semi-keto I'm not doing it of "50 day dry aged, Himilayan salt cured Galician fillet"!

eta: torched and ready for cooking with calamari and salad

What sort of temperature do you think these should go to in the oven before searing?



Couple of Kobe steaks from the butcher. Don’t know which cut because I threw away the receipt before the wife saw it.
They look like sirloin taken from the ribeye end (like a wing rib). Nice marbling.

As before, get the internal temp low 50's then sear.
Nearly! But not quite. They’re Sirloin, from the rump end. The small muscle in the top of each steak, on the left hand side in the photo is actually the rump muscle.

Lovely looking steak, ask for the Rib end next time and it’ll be 10/10

A two rib cote, I left the outer layers on because the rib eye was not particularly big and it had to feed 4.





Up to 50 degrees in the oven then out to rest for 10 mins.


Then garlic butter and rosemary to finish the crust.

Galician ribeye from Turner and George tonight for the missus' birthday.



In the smoker for 75 mins up to 53c then on to the grill for 2 mins a side.





I think I'd take it higher next time as it was a crazily fatty bit of moo. Amazing flavour though.

It was as good as it looks.

Grass fed organic rare breed UK beef.

Im not sure what that would cost, or where you would buy it, but my children are thoroughly spoiled.

I’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again, my steak cooking ability has dramatically improved as a result of this thread. It’s one of the most valuable threads to me.

Was thinking of your meat yesterday (ooo-errrr missus laugh ) as I walked past some Belted Galloway cows in the fields in Hemel. Cute little buggers.
Are you raising any more since these ones became steak?

Yes. But we are also interested in trying some other native breeds.

Perhaps something like this :

The beef that you can produce is quite stunning when money is no object. I feel for farmers trying to make a living from food production, but remove that necessity for profit, use a breed that is all about quality, and the end result is amazing.

Have you tried to price up what they cost you from birth to butchering or to put it another way what you’d charge someone per kilo for a ribeye, cote de boeuf or a fillet?

It certainly wouldn't be competitive....

A simple fillet, butchered from a tenderloin I bought. Sous vide at 53.5 for 3 hours then seared on a cast iron griddle.

Simple and splendid.

I've been enjoying cooking steaks over the past year or so since we've not been getting out for dinners for obvious reasons. We got Chateubriand from a local butcher a couple of times and cooked that by seasoning, searing and then finishing in the oven. I've done fillet steaks the same way once and was quite pleased with the result. Interesting reading about the reverse-sear technique, I have a question on that - at what point do you season the meat, before it goes in the oven or after that, before it goes in the pan? Or can you not really season in the same way?
