Steak dinner for £3

[Anonymous No.13666243]

Aye boys.
Thought I’d just show my wee steak dinner thing I did for £3.This is more to show the young pups here that you can eat a good dinner for not much money. I know you can eat deenz,rice, beans etc but let’s be honest and admit that tastes like shit. Got myself some cheap shoulder steak for £2 and some mushrooms for 80p.

[Anonymous No.13666256]

I know there will be plenty haters etc but don’t care. It’s just a bit of fun so let’s go.
Pre salted the steaks for 40 mins and let them get up to room temp

[Anonymous No.13666267]

Figuring out best image size to use so bear with me.
I’m using a ceramic pan for this as I seem to get the best results with cheaper cuts using it. Cast Iron bois BTFO.
So, ceramic pan on the heat and get it hot. Whilst doing that oil the steak , not the pan.

[Anonymous No.13666268]

where do you get that much shoulder for £2?

[Anonymous No.13666283]

Get the steaks into the pan. I poured a very small amount of oil that I had soaked the steaks in into the pan also just to save the smoke. Note that I don’t pre season with pepper. By all means do that if you want but it’s gonna burn and taste like shit so don’t do it if you want to taste the meat. Up to you.

From my local butcher m8. I buy a lot of meat from him so probably got a deal. Tesco are defo not great for meat though. Morrison’s are way better if you’re in a city . They have a decent butcher counter with butchers that will always do a deal if you ask the right questions.

[Anonymous No.13666296]

Don’t move the steaks around. Just let them sear on one side for a few minutes then turn them.

[Anonymous No.13666312]

Once nearly done get some butter in there and reduce the heat. Start basting them constantly for about a minute. Metal spoon blah blah blah . I seem to have misplaced my silicone hipster rubber spoon for such a situation.

[Anonymous No.13666324]

Remove the steaks from the pan and set aside to rest. Don’t cover them or they’ll keep cooking/stewing.
Using the steak juices and butter already in the pan get the mushrooms in there and get the heat back up.

[Anonymous No.13666328]

Mushrooms done. I don’t need to tell you how to cook mushrooms.

[Anonymous No.13666332]

Holy shit it's another one of those /ck/ cancer threads where op spams 20 pictures of his slop o' shit and nobody fucking cares.

[Anonymous No.13666338]

This bit is optional and down to taste really. I like to keep the steak/mushroom butter and put it into a dish then mix it with franks hot sauce as a steak sauce. Really you can do what you want idgaf. Try it though by all means . It’s tangy and goes well.

So you had to sink loads of money into maintaining a cordial customer business relationship before you obtained this cheap meat. This is not an accessible thread for eating on not much money, you can only eat this dinner for cheap after spending loads of money on being a good customer.

[Anonymous No.13667625]

No.you can buy that much meat from any supermarket here for around £2.50.
You know fine well it’s still a cheap meal.

Yeah that's tough as shit, you need to stew it. Waste of food. And that fucking pool of sauce is embarrassing. A good steak needs no sauce. Not to mention the plain ass cake bread. Get some decent bread next time that isn't from walmart and wrapped in plastic. Kill yourself.

No, but apparently I do. Stop tossing them retard you sear them too just like the steak. Creates a much better texture

What do you do with the bread? The only thing I would do with it would be to make a sandwich, and if that was the case I'd assemble it before plating.
Surely it isn't nice just eating the bread plain or dipped in the sauce, I think with that meal I'd rather have some chips or potatoes.

[Anonymous No.13667752]

>>13666362
Is this soup?

[Anonymous No.13667768]

>>13666362
sauce is separated, looks like an oil slick.

Mushrooms are nice but i would have cooked them a lot longer for some browning., they look more boiled than seared.

steak looks ok, probably pretty tough. Would have gone with smaller pieces so I'm not gnawing at them.

Butter the bread or something.

Ok meal, 5/10 probably would change a lot if made again.

All good m8.
This wasn’t a show off thread though.I like the mushrooms that way and am not a fan of crispy mushrooms.
Yep, sauce split but if I’m honest it was just the butter with some franks added.The butter was too hot and I didn’t spend time making it.ideally to make a buffalo sauce you would use clarified butter and take some time on it. I could’ve kept it in a separate dipping ramakin or something but really this meal was for me to just eat.
The meat is flat iron so was defo not tough.very underrated cut as long as cooked rare/medium.
The whole point was to show that you can have a steak without breaking the bank.
I couldn’t be arsed doing chips/potatoes so bread is a filler which worked great. It isn’t “cake bread” whatever that even is(an American thing I think) it’s farmhouse crusty white which is pretty good.
All in all it was delicious.
I might trigger the board again tomorrow and cook something else.
I may even do multiple threads just to burn the Mcburger threads to the ground.

>the meat is flat iron
Are you even the OP? Because the meat shown here >>13666243 is not flat iron. Flat iron is long and flat and has a lot of marbling, and no butcher in the world is gonna sell it that cheap. That honestly just looks like pieces of throwaway beef scrap that would normally get turned into ground beef. No wonder it was so cheap.

No it isn’t flat iron. It’s just shoulder (it’s called back rib in Scotland) don’t know what name you guys have for it. It’s a piece that is used as a steak though albeit a cheap one.
I might make another tomorrow and post it up again.
