Oh and sprinkle half an oxo cube over the steak right at the end of cooking before resting it. Nom nom nom

everyone knows it's gotta be doused in the butter you've been basting it with in the pan.Where do you get your steak from?

Dirty dirty fool
no no no I do melt a little salted butter in just before removing the steak then lay to rest medium rare
Try it
well actually, some butter basted over the steak first and then half an oxo. It’s a game changer!Philistine
Yup lol I could have explained that better. Butter first, then a bitta oxo
good value supermarket beef/steak (Waitrose a few times) has been a minor dividend during covid times with reduced restaurant demand,
obviously that will be a minor victim of the Ukraines situation, even if the likes of usa & others increase grain acreage.

I've always been unsure about freezing good quality steak. Does it not adversely affect it?
We are fortunate to have a great local butcher near us. Quite pricey for the popular cuts, you can spend £15 on a good ribeye if you get them to cut it a bit thick. I always joke they're probably bored with us going in and getting the cheap cuts like shin etc
Sounds like the OP needs to investigate some of the online butchers, of which I have no experience..

treated myself to two sirloin steaks from Lidl today -£7 so split them and put them in freezer - Now I know how to cook steaks they will be fine -Max 4 min total in frying pan with dab of butter at end and wrap in foil till chips are ready
Would try the oxo cube but we don't have any.

Usually get steaks and meat from Costco and then freeze.However did a Sainsburys shop recently and tried one their North Highland sirloin steaks and it was excellent will be buying more.
They’re so expensive though because they’re London-centric

Makro and Costco, well my father does as not a great steak lover myself.

Don't get me wrong I'll eat it, but prefer lamb and pork cuts.And because they're so good! I'd rather have T&G quality every so often than lesser steak more frequently.

Donald Russell are really good but not cheap (imho)
Puddledub farm, called the buffalo farm now, excellent but not cheap. Their steak pies are lush too, buffalo pies.....mmmmmmm I'm hungry at work now.
Bennets butcher club, we have ordered from here a few times and mostly has been great, especially their larger steaks and joints. We put in a small order recently and I dont know if it had sat too long or they just didn't pack enough ice packs in to keep it cold but it looked like some meat was iffy, they refunded with no argument but that didn't put a steak on my plate that night.

Feel like we are spoilt for choice where I live. There's 3 decent independent butchers all within 2 miles.

usually local butchers or farm shop (plenty of both nearby) but i've actually found lidl steaks to be cracking value and far superior taste wise to other supermarket ranges. perhaps as they use locally sourced farms for their meat?
