I got this last year and was delicious especially for the price. Sorry got the date wrong it's actually the 24th of August, ready in time for the bank holiday so I am a bit early. Really is a bargain though

What peasants eat rump steak....

This peasant. Sous vide it at 54c for 90 minutes then sear it for 30 seconds either side and finish with butter.

How does that come out? Rare, medium?
And do you still need to rest it?
nbgrobbo to random_dude
15 Aug 17#21
With the sear, close to medium rare. No need to rest, as that effect is carried out whilst cookinging using the sous vide method.

Don't forget us peasants won't have a proper sous vide....so stick it in the dishwasher (or is having a dishwasher a bit bourgois as well?)

24th? fraid I'll miss it since we're going to visit our daughter in the USA that day - but maybe we won't miss out - there's an Aldi 2 miles from their house! (Heat because it's a great price for a 1lb steak!)

You're going to USA, the land of the greatest steaks on earth and you're going to buy them from Aldi? :disappointed:

The greatest steaks in the world are produced in South America, not the US

I prefer US to Brazillian or Argentinian to be honest, but they're still good.

Well, since this particular Aldi is only 25 miles from Fort Worth (AKA 'Cow Town'), then there's a good chance that their beef will be locally sourced!
gtd65 to kennethsross
15 Aug 17#30
Unlikely.
Aldi is a terrible store in the USA (based on my opinion at least).
I shop at Aldi most of the time in the UK but unless you want to buy processed junk (mainly), can't say I've ever seen any reason to shop in the US stores.
I'm sure you can source a decent steak in one of the other local "grocery stores" of course :smile:

It probably depends where you are. The on near where I have a home in Hollywood, Florida has a new one, it looks OK but I am not sure quality of its fresh products are its main good point.

groenleader

This is a lot of rump for the money, best served medium expect. Not sure on country or origin and where its was slaughtered though.
In my experience, from New York to Paris usually the top steak on the menus of the top restaurants are source from the UK. Its quality that matters and its consistent high quality meat that is raised and slaughter in the UK.
Its the dealing with diseases that relate to cows that the UK has don't so well at that has given the market huge confidence, added to that wuality raising and slaughter process.
Kobe and Wagu style from Japan is popular, unique.
Plenty of US beef is just cattle raised on concrete hard standing, fed mixed feed, injected with antibiotics. Poor marbling and bland taste are synonymous with US beef products. Good for flavouring, which is of course prevalent from smoking to adding sauces or rubs too.

Just a bit of info about kobe and wagyu, as I hear a lot of incorrect info. Kobe beef comes from a breed of cattle called Wagyu. In order to earn the designation/appellation of "Kobe Beef", the Wagyu beef must come from Kobe, Japan, and meet rigid production standards imposed in that prefecture. I've had Wagyu from various countries as the cattle is exported. It is not necessarily very expensive or fantastic quality. Kobe (from the Wagyu cattle) is very expensive because of the strict production and location standards.

Is that the same chocolate they sell over here in the UK with the high cocoa content?
I've only been to Aldi in two states (Pennsylvania) near the Heshey chocolate vomit factory, which, actually smelled pretty decent as you drove past and another one in (Florida) Orlando at the UCF area.
I still think it's a very poor selection of products, compared to what I see at the local Aldi in Scotland.

I've had better steaks in Alberta (Alberta Beef) but had some very decent steaks in the USA to be fair. Not sure how much I'd like them (USDA) after seeing how the cattle are raised and whay they are injected with though....
Talking of South American steaks, when I lived in Hong Kong, the most expensive at the local steak house were USDA and then Argentinian and the cheapest were from Uraguay. I tried all of them and ended up just getting the steak from Uraguay as they all appeared to be pretty decent.

Can you use the sous vide method without removing from original packaging? or how do you vacuum seal?...thanks
pinnocchio
24 Aug 17#71
Do you not have a sealer of some kind?
Else find some ziploc bags that are heat resistant (get as much air out as possible).
I'm guessing that the packaging isn't designed for Sous Vide and would possibly melt or at least effect the flavour of the meat.

Unfortunately most suppliers don't state whether its barbarically slaughtered or not. In fact there was a outcry a couple years back to force suppliers to list where the meat has come from and if its religiously slaughtered or not. Cameron publicly said they will not do this.
After doing a little research i found that the code you supplied points to a company called ABP which are notoriously known to supply unlabeled halal lamb/sheep/mutton..etc. Although not documented, I suspect it'll likely be the same for the beef too.
Thanks for info but as a precaution I will give this one a miss.
