    Hi Gaz
    Try holding the fat side down in the pan before searing the steak to crisp up the fat and to render some of it into the pan which adds extra flavour.
    I use the leftover fat to fry some onions or mushrooms while the steak is resting…
    Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend 👌🏻

    • @B72Gary
      @B72Gary Před rokem +2

      @@BaldFoodieGuy Good advice and the only other thing I would say is I use Maldon sea salt and put it on after cooking it melts pretty much immediately into the meat. If you put it on an hour prior to cooking you can lose juices. I don't see why you would take it out of the fridge put salt on and then pop it back into the fridge. Just an opinion and I am glad you enjoyed it. Gaz to Gaz :D

    I just stumbled across your channel and watched a few videos so far. I like your simplicity and your honesty, no cheffy stuff either, just cooking as it should be. I love cooking. I was up until 2 weeks ago homeless in a tent in the Scottish Highlands for 20 months (many on here don't believe me but it's all on my Instagram). I still cooked great food, even Hugh Fernley Whittingstall sent me a copy of his latest book.... It's not very good though 🤫😂

    Great video Gareth 👏 , I always dry salt brine my steaks in fridge for 2 days , the salt opens the fibres and draws the water to the top.of the steaks , then the water sinks back into the open steak and the dry air of the fridge helps dry the outer of my the steak . It's great especially for BBQ's keeping steak moist . I've watched endless videos and books with people all claiming they have the special way to do steak , but that reverse sear is fascinating , I've never seen that 👍 I'm going to try that 😋 . I'm like you Gareth , if your steak's good , why do you need rubs or smothering sauces all over it 👍

    I have a lot of Lodge cast iron pans, really like them! Although I usually put the skillet in the BBQ for searing, otherwise oil droplets everywhere in the kitchen! If you want more tender, try salting (dry brining) and leaving on the rack, in the fridge for a day or two before cooking!

    Will have to try that reverse sear method. Looks awesome, and the beef looks good.
    You left a lot of flavour wiped out of pan, that would be a great base for gravy, with the meat juices that came out of the steak. Cooking the gravy in the pan with however you are going to make the gravy.
    Or de-glaze the fry pan under heat, with water or whatever (some use small amount of beer, [I like IPA] or wine) into the gravy saucepan.

    That looked great! My perfect doneness 👍I like to take my steak out of the fridge and let it warm to room temperature for an hour or so with salt on, then pat it dry and oil it before chucking it in on a blistering hot pan to get a crust on each side. Then in with butter and a smashed clove of garlic to baste. No idea why, I always think steak comes out better in the summer for me, maybe because it’s warmer at the start.

    I've often had friends and family tell me that I shouldn't bother shopping at Lidl or Aldi because the quality is poor. Well Gareth, I think you have just proved them wrong mate. 👍. My usual steak is Sirloin and I have never found fault from either stores meats. I may have a different view over shopping at these stores because I lived in Germany for many years and these stores are where most people shopped. Anyone watching you cook this steak would have to admit that it looked great, and judging by your face, it obviously tasted "spot on".

      @@marcse7en
      I totally agree with you. When I lived in Germany Aldi was much different. Instead of having shelves to restock items, they just brought pallets of food in boxes. This meant that customers didn't have to pay extra in order to hire shelf fillers. I can also say that the quality of their fresh meats and fresh fish are top notch and comparable with the more pricier stores. About 3 years ago I did a price comparison with my local Co Op and Lidl. If I can remember correctly, I spent around about £22 in Lidl, but the same items in the Co Op came in at just over £45, and all I had to do was walk an extra 200 metres. I actually went to the Co Op tonight because I was running late and I could not believe they were selling a tin of baked beans for £2🥴🥴. So yes, I agree that Aldi and Lidl serve up good quality food for everyone's pocket.

    I bought one of those steaks for the first time this morning! Using it to make a beef stroganoff for my better half and I. Could be considered sacrilege just slicing up a steak like that, but it was the best bang for buck for a 30 day aged steak big enough for two.
    Edit: steak for me has to be medium rare, tweaked according to the cut of meat.

    @l.h5844 Před rokem +2

    Hi Gareth...I used to listen to all these differing opinions of how to cook the perfect steak depending on the cut. I always find that if I wrap my sirloin or ribeye ( favourite value for money cuts in my opinion) in tinfoil, preseasoned & a few knows of good butter...cook to your liking ...rare, medium or well done, then take them out the oven & sear for a minute in rapeseed oil both sides, turn the steak on it's side & get that fat cap nice & crisp...pour the collected steak & butter juices from the tinfoil into the frying pan & sear up some chestnut mushrooms & few diced shallots...if I'm being extra fancy I'll add a sprig of thyme & some concentrated beef stock...big fat triple cooked chips finished in duck or goose fat & pan seared asparagus with lemon, pepper & salted butter...that is my death row meal for sure lol. We all like what we like & it would be a very boring world if we all thought/ liked the same things. I know I can't be vegan or vegetarian when there's good quality steaks to get my nashers round. By the way that steak looked awesome, so it's off to the butchers for me. Have a great weekend.

    Hi Gareth, try Aldi’s rib eye steak, that bit of fat running through the meat really makes a difference, lovely and juicy and the flavour is outstanding.👍

    I got 4 in a pack from lidl I scored two like a fish then rubbed all seasoning and herbs into the scores garlic etc then put them in the oven that I had heated first. I put chips and veg with it and I added beef stock to the veg. Had a bottle of beer and fell asleep on the sofa. Looking forward to doing it again soon.
