[Closed] Can you cook a tender ,tasty steak without spending a lot ?

kaiser · 2021-06-15T12:37:51Z

My wife and I never go to restaurants etc as we prefer being at home + don't have the money really. I think I've only ever had one exceptional steak which was home cooked and that cost 17p . It was reduced from £17 on a Xmas Eve 5 mins before closing time and all I can remember is that it was fillet steak of some variety . Yesterday I thought for a treat I would buy some Deluxe aged fillet steak from Lidl at £10 for 2 small pieces. I cooked it as per the instructions and was most disappointed as it came out rather chewy and tough , although the flavour was ok. I have in the past tried marinading and pulverising various cheaper steaks but with little success so wondered if anyone had any advice ,tips,tricks etc on how to produce a lovely tender tasty steak without spending a fortune ...(if indeed it is possible.) If it makes any difference we both prefer medium rather than rare or particularly well done . Your help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance.Cheers

Oops the quote didn’t work. But the article Speed12 links to nails it for pretty much everything I’ve said I’d say.

Bbq’ing meat in the rain this weekend it seems 🤗
