Bad Steak Dinner. 

What is it with British people that most think seeing fat in steak is bad? Generally a nice marbled fatty steak will be much juicier that a lean piece. You had a couple of long bits of 'silverskin' thread through those which does not break own and should be cut out first.

With rump you need to give it a good mallet bashing

Turn your gas down on the pan once it's smoking. Do the steak 1 minute on each side then go to a medium heat 😊

I think that's a bit burnt.

This has become a Mr Marinade Channel

I highly recommend ribeye im not a steak person as much as my husband i like tender meat the cut ive found the most tender is ribeye, the fat makes it dry out not as easy and more tender. Seasoning stick to salt and coarse black pepper add lots of the pepper as much as will stick once pat dry. Get ur pan as hot as you can put in your steak and let it sit time depends on how u like it cooked. then flip put in the oven until your desired doneness. This gives us decent steak.

Forgive my intrusion and suggestion, but showing your subscribers how to do a simple creamy peppercorn sauce would be fantastic. 👍

Way too much seasoning , the second ingredient in it was salt so maybe taste the seasoning before coating the steak with half the pot. Also pan was way too hot.

Shame that it turned out so poor as it sounded cracking with all those ingredients. I bought some "premium" tender Lamb steaks from Asda`s and it was the worst meat for gristle that I had ever eaten. It makes you wonder what the suppliers are feeding their livestock to save money. One of the things I love about your channel though Keith is that you show when things go wrong or taste poor so it`s proper cooking to me and not manufactured for a TV programme. 🙂

I mean, I love that you are trying to cook but you can just dump a load of seasoning on and fry it. You could have left in the fridge while it dry marinated then scrapped of the seasoning, or dropped the steaks in a sealed bag and put them in a pot of very hot tap water which for most people is 55˚C, keep topping the water with as hot water out of the tap as you can. As long as the temp is roughly there for half an hour then you could pat them dry, removing all the seasoning. Heat your pan up ripping hot, rub a little oil on the meat and sear it off 30 seconds a side. I use a sous vide machine rather than hot tap water, but I have done it the other method, it does help.

When you cook your stake put it in the pan before you turn it on ,then cook on a very low setting for the first say 10 minutes gradually turn it up but not too high . A steak has to be done lowly and slowly. When it is nearly cooked say after 20 minutes add the marinade and keep the pan on very low for another 10 minutes.the stake was not poor it was how you cooked it.

I've never had much luck when it comes to steak, If i eat beef i tend to only make Stews or curry's where it can slowly cook away for hours and hours on end so its so soft when it comes to eating time :)

Heat up far to high.

A decent steak should not need additional flavourings, only salt is required. Anything else ruins the flavour. I think the pan was way too hot in this as well, maybe adding butter would help, and reducing the temp. Oil cooks very hot, its goot to put a sear on a steak at the beginning, then you add butter and baste, butter boils at a lower tempreture than oil so reduce heat to not burn the butter.

I think if you look again Keith the instructions for the steak marinate coating said nothing about pan frying. That was the mistake. Maybe give it another go?

Little tip Keith, I find that if I cok my steak one side at a time & don’t keep flipping it, it’s a lot better. It looked nice.

Temperature to high.

Rump steak? Cuts from the rump are very tough and require a different type of cooking. I would make pounded steaks out of them, dredge in a light flour and brown in a pan. Put meat in a casserole dish, cover with a gravy and bake at 350 for an hour in the oven. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy

Sometime things happen you can get a poor steak and it does not matter how you cook it been their before try old bay seasoning thay have a new one out lemon one hope you have some thing better to eat 🐝🐝

Left the heat up too high tbh, should of turned it down after the first 2-3 minutes

Looked chewy AF 😂

What I do sometimes is sear rump steak on both sides, add red wine and beef stock, cries for 2 to 3 hours it absolutely melts in the mouth.

Mis-steak

Temperature control my man 😂

Ribeye don’t bother with anything else 😂

What about cooking it in the air fryer? Still looked good! Not sure about the pepper sauce on the steaks! Good try!

Shame about the steak, mate🤷‍♂️. Rump's never gonna the tenderest, but you nailed the cookin'...nice and pink with a decent "bark"🤤. The glaze had MSG in it, so I winced when you put that much on😳! MSG's your friend...in small doses☝️.

Oh dear , shame about the seasoning, You should try doing your seasoned steak in Air Fryer. Brilliant.

Went on the muscle food website and read the reviews and decided to stay with my local Butcher. Seems as if they use independant suppliers to for fill the meat orders and some unhappy customers

Should have cooked your steak in the Air-fryer that’s how I do mine my favourite is Ribeye 👍👍

Hi Keith'n'Nat..nice to see you both..💐..I would give up on the steak as it was too tough..and cut it into small pieces..put it in the slow cooker with potatoes/carrots etc..cook it slow..for tomorrow..then I would have fried an egg..maybe sausage if available..and eaten that instead..that way the meat will be tender and worth eating..😉 XX

What a shame Keith & Nat that the steak was of poor quality 😏

From looking at the amazon page for the marinade stuff, I think you're supposed to use much less (the packaging for the various dry marinades all say dust/sprinkle) and let it sit for fifteen minutes (which I think you did do that part) - I reckon the idea is that there's just enough of the marinade that the moisture from the steak kinda rehydrates it so it becomes almost like a wet marinade by the end of the fifteen minutes?

Hi I swore I would never buy rump again its always tough !! the best steak is Rib eye its always tender !!! regards Derek

I’ll come back and comment later I’ve Gotta watch Emmerdale

Steak these days are hit and miss.Get a good cut or a bad one.

I think everything went wrong from the start, steak was very poor quality, too much marinade applied to the meat, too much oil used steaks only need a light coating, pan was too hot which burned the marinade which also prevented the steak from cooking evenly, i never keep flipping the steaks while they are cooking, also the butter should be put on while the steak is resting for best results, peppercorn sauce with brandy? shouldn't be allowed, apart from that everything else looked good🤣🤣

I love my seasoned steak cooked in butter . It brings out the flavour . Thanks keith

I got two very cheap sirloins from Aldi last week. £3.50 each. Looked lean, was so tough, it was impossible to eat. We chewed, but no good. Couldn’t eat any of it. But good try Keith.

I think I've only ordered a big pack from Musclefood the once and the meat was a very mixed bag. Some was okay but a lot was sort of own brand budget level, and I wouldn't use them again. Seasonings with sugar are always hard on the hob I find, they catch like mad! Hey, at least you tried!

I'm sorry to say that's not rump steak it's most likely thick flank . I'm guessing you didn't go to your local butcher. I'm surprised to be honest

think just a bit of oil on the steak with salt pepper and garlic salts would be better my steaks turn out good. adding that powder when hitting a hot pan just burnt, and the amount of cooking time was too long. But may be a better choice of meat would have been better. I have had Denver steaks from morrisons and they have been good. even at 1 to 2 min an side. and cutting thin slices so you can taste the meat I find putting whole potatoes in a electric pressure cooker for 10 minutes then slice and sprinkled with salt and little oil and put in the Halogen work out really nice. no need to dry them and dirty other dishes

Hi Keith & Nat, I buy fillet steak from Aldi, take it out of the fridge and place it into the frying pan (no need to pat dry) add about a table spoon of olive oil to each steak and turn the steak over, don't add any more oil then add 1 twist of himalayan salt & 1 twist of black pepper, no need to add any of that crap, you want to be able to taste the steak, leave it in the cold pan now crack on with doing your chips etc until you're ready to turn on the heat, I turn my heat on full but I am constantly turning the steak should take about 3/5 mins depending on how rare you like it. I hope this helps, lots of luv from the old fart xx

Cannot wait for the next muscle meat review... Let's keep it simple with oil and a frying pan and give a honest review with a humble cheeky sausage sarnie / butty /barm/bap

flat iron way to go you can abuse it lol cook how you want and tender with a beefy taste

Cracking effort Keith. To be honest the steaks didn't look the best mate 👍🏻. Your face on the thumbnail said it all 😂😂😂

I always par boil homemade chips , that muscle food from the reviews is a hit or a miss with meat so I’m not surprised at the steak being tough you could tell when you pressed on it when it was raw , not the cooking at all just crap steaks Andy. The packet sauces are usually crap

Hello Keith & Nat, sorry about the Steak mate at least you gave it a go, and your honest opinion which is all that matters, but i've never really been that keen on Steak, unless it's in a Pie nice n soft n tender 🙂 and shame about the Marinade too as i thought the Coating looked nice, but nevermind mate all in the Taste Lol and the Taste was off today Lol to see you and your Lass Nat chomping away through that Tough Steak was Cushty haha 🤣🤣🤣 i think i'll stay well away from Muscle Foods if those Steaks are anything to go by Lol Give me Pork over Steak anytime 🙂 have a Great weekend the Both of you and the Family see you Both again soon ❤

.

Ribeye is the only steak i eat

So nice you included you're daughter in the video.

its raw.... sear it in the pan then oil them and season and put them in the air fryer much better

Your steaks started to go wrong with the seasoning and sort of went downhill from there. I only season mine with a little salt after lightly oiling the steaks and only turn them once. I know the steaks came in a meat package but I stopped using rump steak and use ribeye instead.

Keith shame about the steak but the chips looked perfect like the way you make your home made chips spot on love to both of you ♥️♥️😋xxx

I love peppercorn sauce but no with the brandy can't stand brandy 😂😂😂

Most funniest vid, came across by chance 😎

just cook steak on it's own

Everything looked good but no to that steak seasoning

Rib eye steak has fat , keeps it tender 😉

Hi there mate looks like brasing steak to me

brine soak

I like my steak well done but not with gristle... Not your fault if it was a tough steak

That's what we call steak flavoured chewing gum. However if it were me I'd sack the chef 😂

never mind fall of your horse get back on and canter can you do a bacon jack

Steak looks awful unfortunately 😢

You could tell cutting it! Poor quality

Were they cheap aldi steaks??

Once they’re black you can’t go back😉

Nat is very lazy she never cooks try get her to cook

😊 what a shame

Two and three out of?

Omg, you over think things... At the beginning you said it's a simple steak dinner... The pan was way to hot, and that pepper marinade, you put far to much on it.... I love your videos, but I find myself shouting at the telly .. Stick to what you know... And don't over complicate your dish. .. Chips looked ok... .

u didnt just throw away the steak juices....u fry the onions and shrooms in it....or ure chips
