    As a butcher I must say you really could of fooled me that you weren’t a butcher. The way you broke down that Rump is exactly how I’ve been taught to break it down. And as for the Kilroy Rumps I have cut one up for our rumps steaks and I must say they are one of the best rumps I’ve ever cut up. Cheers for showing the world that you don’t have to buy a expensive meat to have a great meal.

    Kiwi here! Awesome video mate, I always see really cheap full rumps at the supermarket but have never known how to break them down. This is exactly what I needed! I'd definitely be keen to see more stuff like this. Stuff like sirloin and scotch seems pretty simple but other interesting ones to see would be stuff like lamb leg, lamb rump, and just kind of the bigger 3-4kg pieces of meat you can.
    There's heaps out there from the American perspective but not so much with the cuts we're more familiar with in NZ.

    LOVE this format of instructional video intermixed with your 'traditional style'! Once you get through all of the primals & sub-primals of a whole cow you could move on to lamb and then pork. That would be great. The care and concise instructions for this sub-primal were easy to follow compared to other channels who tend to do whole quarters all in one and it's hard to 'keep up'. Great video - look forward to more but don't stop the dailly cook stuff either. Great channel! Thank you!

    One tip I learned from a Brazilian friend: The Picanha is only the part on that top muscle from the tip of the "triangle" to the 3rd vein "up" toward the primal cut, beyond that vein it's called the Coxão Duro, which as the name suggests is a tougher cut so cut and cooked differently (as a chef I'm sure you know the drill).

  • @JohnTheRevelat0r
    @JohnTheRevelat0r Před rokem +24

    Andy, the traditional Brazilian barbecue (churrasco) way of preparing the picanha is to seal it on a really hot charcoal fire and then slow roast it whole with the fat down for 2+ hours (until the fat is rendered). The heat that goes through the fat cap will cook the meat inside. Cutting it into medallions is an alternative way that was developed to speed up the process for restaurants. It works, but it does not produce the same results because the fat from the cap does not seep into the meat as it cooks slowly, so you get less flavor and tougher steaks when you cut it into medallions. Roasting it whole to a medium rare point is something that only skilled churrasqueiros can do consistently. Also, you should not worry about the fat cap because it can be trimmed later, to the client's desire, when it's properly rendered. If you trim it you risk missing out on the flavor that comes from rendering that fat into the meat. Remember, never cook it sideways. Seal it and then cook with the fat down, and it's done.

I looked up a beef chart to look at different cuts of meat, these seem to only come in the American version.

    This is fantastic - I used to work for a supermarket in the UK on the butchery counter briefly by my training was rather limited - a whole series of this with different meats/cuts/techniques I would find very valuable.
    I would also be interested to see this again but with alternative ways you could butcher this. I'm sure there are more than one way to skin a cat, as it were, and I think it would be interesting to see what different options are available when butchering.
    I'm also curious as to the costings/savings for this - what is the cost of the whole rump and roughly the equivalent costs if you were to buy individually.
    I dont think it necessarily matters what currency you use but I think it is useful to know roughly what the savings are by doing it yourself.
    Either way - keep up the good work I'm really enjoying this. Thank you VERY much

    Excellent video sir. We bought a large sirloin primal from our local Costco, and your video has given us a bit more confidence to make some lovely steaks. Thanks so much. Watching this in Mexico City.

    As a Brazilian, I can confirm you did a very good job with all the cuts. In brazil, there are several cuts you can get from the rump, such as : Picanha, Baby beef(the steaks you cut after the picanha with fat ressembling a new york strip steak), Bife do Açougueiro (the small beef you cut), and Maminha (Tri-Tip). Those are the main cuts of the rump and are a big part in the life of Brazilians. All the best!

      Mas jogar para panela a ponta da picanha!?
      É o pedaço mais macio e fica bom demais grelhado com sal na chapa!!!

    This was great! This isn't just handy for a family of 4, it works even better for a family of 3, or a couple of empty nesters. These are knife skills that I have (my ex worked for a butcher for a bit), but chopping skills are the knife skills I need to learn. Could you please do a video teaching us how to chop veg expediently? Please?!?!

    I have been doing this for 50 yrs its really easy, when you are at the supermarket and you see those whole rumps for 12 bucks a Kg (as in last week at our local Pak n Sav) buy one and have a go its as easy as you just saw. They come out at between 70 and 100 bucks depending on size) I go for the ones with thickish fat caps as they will be the tastiest steaks, if you are fatphobic go for the leaner ones which are still good enough. It can be as simple as no trimming just cut into roasts. Leave the fat on for those, or for pieces that don't have a cap like his lay trim fat on the meat before tying it basically self bastes. you don't have to eat the fat.
    Steaks are great I also have a mincer so mince anything odd shaped etc rather than dice like he did.
    If its a really fatty one then I render the fat down and save it for cooking the steaks in :)
    I invested in a vacuum packer a while back which means the meals last much better and longer in the freezer.
    Give it a go it saves allot of money. I average meals at $10 each for our family doing this.
    I started doing this back in the day when you could buy really cheap sides of mutton, wish you could still buy those.

    Great video and very useful for any home cook. My husband and I used to eat only meat we harvested ourselves. I generally processed 3-4 deer every year. Did a few elk as well. Geese, ducks, and small game birds. Made sausages with boar added as well. It was never perfect but it was decent. Only animal I didn’t do was moose as they were just too big lol. We gave lots to friends as well. Nothing better than not having to rely on the supermarket.😊

    Andy, my preferred way of prepping picahna is to make the steaks along the grain. So when it comes time to eat, you would slice your peices of steak against the grain and have much shorter fibers.

    PLEASE PLEASE do more of these videos where you break down large cuts of meat! This is fantastic. For some suggestions, how about a whole beef loin, or pork loin? Any larger cut of meat would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for this!
