Rump or Sirloin?

[glenimp617]

I haven't had steak for ages! Won't cook it at home because of the smell.
Once things get back to normal "normal", I'm off to have one

Probably go for rump over sirloin. Generally find Rump to be a better flavour.

 

[Rimsy]

Just out of interest, why don't you like a Ribeye?

Fat makes me gag

Yes I know other cuts are better, but between Rump or Sirloin which do you go for?

Sirloin, rare.

 

[jpaul]

Also depends on whose sirloin/rump, leastways the Aldi aged 24 sirloin tastes better than their ribeye,
maybe that's the chef, and the more complex griddle+oven combo for ribeye.

sirloin is typically more expensive why ? is that a testament to taste, or, its versatility -
I thought maybe you get fewer sirloins per cow but , maybe not

A good rump and you’ll never eat any other steak again

Cook it outside on a barbecue or braai.

Whast with all these poverty steaks, get tomahawks

Not everyone has outside space you know!

I got myself an awesome bit of hangar from my butchers on Saturday and did this carne asada recipe. Good lord it was awesome. So flavourful and way, way more tender than I expected. More tender than some of my sous vide ribeyes actually. I did fill the kitchen with smoke (it was properly bad what with the chilli marinade) and my girlfriend was in a right huff about it (whatever, I ate my tacos )

To be honest, different cuts of beef should be used in different ways. Sometimes I fancy a fatty ribeye, sometimes I'll go for a more lean looking sirloin. Sometimes as with the above, you need something else entirely. There's no one right answer.

This thread prompted me to buy some supermarket rump steak.

Unevenly sliced steak... over cooked in parts... will go to butcher next time...

I quite enjoy rump but I do find even at the butchers (sometimes, I normally upgrade to ribeye if I'm there) it just comes in strange shapes. I guess that's just the way that part of the animal is.

I honestly think that finding a decent Butcher is becoming increasingly difficult. All the ones near us are fairly average and they seem to take no pride in getting in decent cuts. They may not have a choice in this of course, most people just want cheap and cheerful which is fair enough, but I'm having to turn to the net more often to get good quality produce rather then supporting my local business which I would obviously prefer.
Case in point, went to my local not so long ago to see if they had any decent looking Brisket. Relatively young looking chap in there didn't even know what I was talking about... deary me.

You need to go somewhere like Aldi or Lidl in the morning before the shoppers have had their pick of the good cuts. Found it's the best place to buy supermarket steak. Never had a bad piece of Ribeye from them and it's nearly always very neatly cut.

Agreed, finding a good butcher is getting difficult.

The butcher in the town where my parents in law live is a proper butcher, he really knows his stuff and the quality of the meat is top rate. His lamb is inordinately expensive I find but we get everything else there. The sausages in particular are superb. There's no problem getting brisket there, we picked up a 6kg or so piece last weekend.

He's a bit of a miserable old sod with a very dry sense of humour but that's part of the charm.

Sounds like a butcher?

Yeah we're pretty lucky where we are but we pay for the privilege, both in rent and per kilo at the butchers! Ribeye is like £32.99/kg or is it £37.99/kg

I see Lidl steaks come in a see through plastic tray - So now you can see what it's like underneath which is really handy.

 

[randomshenans]

My go to race and cut. Cote de Boeuf and Simmental breed. Preferably aged 28d min. Perfect cut for me.

Yes, they do. That's why it's called public land.
Find a park or a woodland somewhere that allows outdoor cooking. If you don't want to travel far, Camden and Islington both allow barbecues in most of their spaces.

Um ok... Odd response no?

Camden or Islington are a good 1hr for me to get across town to, so no. My local parks don't allow barbecues. Anyway, this seems unnecessary I was just making a point...

You were bitching about people not having outside space, even though most of us are surrounded by it. If smells and smoke are the issue, you could cook it in the street - No different to a street vendor, or a neighbour doing it in their garden. The fact that you don't own a garden is not an issue.
You presented a problem, I found you solutions. How is that odd?

Anyway, this seems unnecessary I was just making a point...

What was the point supposed to be?
That not owning your own open space prohibits you from cooking in one?
