Appreciate a good steak?

[mullerza]

I perpetrated a hideous crime last night. The aftermath was gruesome.

Ek koop pragtige kruisskyf (rump steak julle filistyne ) 'n duim dik snoesig in 'n knoffel jassie. Sit dit liefderyk in die oond ... en vergeet toetentaal daarvan. Twee ure later maak die reuk dit uiteindelik tot in die deel van die huis waar ek verdiep is in wat ek doen.

Ek haal 'n skoensool uit die oond soos wat ek in g'n jare gesien het nie.

Even the garlic was dehydrated. It was really sad looking. The texture didn't even resemble meat anymore. Needless to say the much anticipated steak supper was an anticlimax of note. I haven't had such a severe kitchen disaster in quite the while. I didn't even know how to respond. I had flashbacks to when I was learning how to cook and the inedible meals that I suffered through.

Time to invest in a wireless temperature probe so you can enjoy that beer without worrying about overcooking the steak

PS, where can I get a 400g rump at a restaurant for under R100 today?

Well here in Bloem the pubs offer 300g rump with sauce and sides for like R89 and its damn decent..Sometimes a 300 fillet for R99..Many pubs here do a beter steak than most restaurants

I do not classify fillet as steak. Can not stand it. But again - my teeth still work... :/

I’ve had some great steaks, but it’s hard to beat one that’s both juicy and perfectly aged like that. I’d recommend checking out The Grillhouse in Sandton if you're ever in the area. Their steaks are always top-notch, and they do a great job with seasoning and grilling.

Here in WA it is hard to find a good steak not to mention any decent meat.

Bought a 1kg Wagyu flatiron from an Saffa importer here for a mere $35.00

Braaied it last night, I was having a stout lekker moment with that piece of meat.

Sear in a skillet and cook to your liking on the oven. Perfect steak every time.

You clearly enjoy the taste of burnt garlic.

Next time braai or pan grill the steak, but make roast garlic pesto in the oven. Gently roast the garlic head in the oven, then squish out the soft warm garlic from the head direct over the steak.

Onthou dit is 'n see van knoffel. So ek wou net teen lae temperatuur die eerste deurwarm gedoen het sonder om die knoffel bitter te maak. Dit was stap een van 'n komplekse proses. Maar jy is reg. Die dood skoot was in die oond.

Regarding steak in an oven: take a 1.5kg picanha, season well, place on a grid over/in a roasting pan, 200ml water, place in 260c pre/heated oven for 7 minutes, turn oven off and leave for 2-3 hours. Should be medium rare once cut. You can use the liquid to make a delicious gravy.

This, now put some par boiled smashed baby potato’s in that roasting pan under the picanha soaking up those drippings

To the potatoes under, add some baby onions and cocktail cheese sausages. Yum yum.

Only in your dreams, I suspect. If it's under R100 you are probably enjoying a donkey steak.

Hey, if it tastes good, I don't see a problem.

I agree. Fillet is completely overrated.
The fat is what makes a steak really great and a fillet does not have any.

But with some proper seasoning, bone marrow and homemade garlic butter spread over...

I always say if I had to be on death row krymmelpap en steak would be me last meal, but with karringmelk and monkey gland sauce.

I buy sirloin cut 6cm thick put in fridge, prepare my monkeygland sauce and pap. I spice it with my spice mix. Stays in fridge though. Make very very hot fire, steak goes on and gets seared properly turning to each side in 30 second intervals. Then I move it over to indirect heat and bring it to 125°F (51°C) internal, normally takes about 30mins.

You get a perfectly cooked medium rare steak every single time. You need a meat temp gauge for this.

Reverse seared but the other way around. The cold meat prevents it from getting over cooked. It's a fool proof method to get an awesome steak. My sons won't order steaks in a restaurant, they say I make better steaks than they get in restaurants.

My favourite steak at the moment from my Spar butcher is a matured picanha rump steak.
I season with course salt and black pepper ground onto it.
Rub into the meat and then braai over very hot coals. My mouth is watering as I type this.

So plain seared then?

For seasoning i find himalayan pink salt and jimmys sauce make for a great steak.Pink salt adds way more flavour to the steak than regular salt

[gvc]

One of my favourite rump steaks to braai is Rooibaard 'vacuum packed' in a marinade.... Had one yesterday...

It is sold by my favorite butcher in a small town close to us. I have seen it in places like Alzu meats as well.

have you tried grilling it on one of those pink himalayan salt blocks ?

very nice,

A steak with fat and all of the the above is still better IMO.
I am so braaing steak this afternoon. With fat on sekelbos.
