    You've just admitted to not cooking it properly after declaring it was.

    If you want to do a HUKD version of Sous Vide (slow cooked and perfect consistency all the way through - and most importantly warm all the way through) put a pan of water on that’s about 90c and then immerse the steaks in their vacuum pack for about 6-8 minutes then unpack the steak and cook in a blazing hot pan for about 60 seconds each side to get the fat caramelised and crisp. Rest for 5 mins and serve with all the chips you can find.

    Consistent rare and medium rare steaks every time. It’s my pleasure.

    I love their ribeye steaks - delicious and good price for them (below £3 each). Have bad experience with their rumps, though, so will give it a miss.

However next time I’ll go back to paying an extra £1.50/2 at my local Butchers for more than an ‘ok’ steak. Would be better in a dish with other elements, rather than a stand alone steak!


    Finding a good butcher is worth its weight in fillet. Mine introduced me to flat iron steak - superb.

    We are talking about a cheap rump steak from a supermarket, not filet mignon from a terence conran restaurant. You get what you pay for. Personally, as someone who was a grill chef for many years I can tell you Aldi meat is as good as you will get from any supermarket and most butchers. It's not hard to spot a good steak, unfortunately most people choose a steak with the least amount of marbling - which generally means you have picket up a steak with a lot of muscular tissue. A good steak has marbling throghout - fat that dissolves during cooking.

    I bought a pack of 4 chicken bosoms from Tesco and cooked two in a curry. I have never before eaten chicken as tough and tasteless. I got a refund on the whole pack of 4 and the curry sauce.
    Why should I lose money on something totally inedible.

    Its a £4.99 steak from Aldi I doubt many people will be rushing out to buy a sealer and water oven to cook it

    I'll go first

    You can get a very similar effect to sous-vide steak by doing a reverse sear. Like the sous-vide method it cooks the meat to a consistent temperature throughout, rather than the well done > rare ripple effect of conventional flash-fry cooking.

    To reverse sear:
    Preheat oven to about 130-140c
    Steak goes on a racked baking tray in the oven, remove it when it gets to 50-53c (use a meat thermometer you luddites).
    While it rests, get a cast iron or heavy bottom pan on your highest flame and get it as hot as you can handle. Rub a little oil into the steak (high-smoke temperature oils are better) and blast it for a minute each side.
    Eat immediately.

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wik…eat

    To get the best taste requires the steak to have fat in amongst the muscle fibres - marbling- which enhances flavour.
    Beef without marbling is tough as old boots unless cooked slowly at lower temperature for a longer time e.g brisket etc.
