Why does my steak look like this?

Rump, grilled as I always do my steaks.

I usually have sirloin but they were out so got rump instead.

It looks extremely 'wrinkly' to me.

Is this standard for rump?

If it starts to fade just use the OP picture as an aide-memoire.

Looks edible. Apart from it looks like a cooked hand

I thought that too.

I use a sous vide to cook steak, and pretty much all of my meat, fish and eggs. You can set it to whatever doneness you like then take it out of the bag, pat it dry and frazzle the outside in a pan/bbq to how crusty you like it.
It's never overcooked and never dry as all the juices are sealed in a bag. Plus you can use them later to make a sauce for the meat.
They're not cheap but they make cooking expensive meat foolproof.
Have a look at the anova website if you're interested. They generally do good deals around black friday too.

Oh god, please stop! I can’t laugh any more, my stomach hurts 🤣

This thread is why I occasionally love MN. Sensible advice mixed with brilliant dead-pan humour. I will never look at a steak in the same way now.

Dead hand in a pan.....

My 6 y/o just saw the updated pic and said "Someone cooked a person! They're going to jail for that!

ZeroFuchsGiven · 25/10/2022 08:02

I canty see its been answered but Why on earth did you cut it like that? Practice for a halloween meal?

isthismylifenow · 25/10/2022 08:34

OP, I think your steak should have a name.

icelollycraving · 25/10/2022 11:33

This has really made me laugh again today 🤣

LadyLothbrook · 25/10/2022 11:49

Steak looking like King Kong's digits 😂

Are you still chewing it OP?

peanutbuttertoasty · 25/10/2022 11:56

Why on earth would you grill a steak? 😭 Smoking hot frying pan required then resting essential

Ilikemyteastrong · 24/10/2022 20:50

Agh. £6 down the drain.

I used to pan fry but found the outside would go super dry and harden too quickly whereas the inside wouldn't get cooked properly. I switched to grilling and they always came out perfect (to my liking) until I swapped my usual sirloin for rump and this is the result..

You need it to harden quickly on the outside to seal in the moisture (even if you insist on overcooking to well done). Otherwise you get this boot leather

It's rare a post makes me laugh out loud, but I am cracking up over this. Every time I go to the next page and see the picture again, I start laughing again. Such hilarious comments as well.

I'm sorry your steak turned out so bad OP, but you can at least console yourself with the fact that you have cheered people up 😂

peanutbuttertoasty · 25/10/2022 12:07

I posted before reading the full thread and am now belly laughing too.

Hands-down the worst steak I've seen but one of the funniest threads. Thanks OP!

BabyMoonPie · 25/10/2022 12:13

@mnhq please can I nominate this thread for classics?! It's made a lot of us laugh which I think has been much needed given the state of the country. Thanks 😊

isthismylifenow · 25/10/2022 15:51

I'm voting for Wrinkly steak into classics too @mnhq

I too have had a giggle all over again.

🤣

Is the rice now eating the fingers I so delicately painted? 😂 🦍 🖐

What does it say across the knuckles?

cicatrix1 · 25/10/2022 19:38

sorry not read all the thread. but looks overdone to me... I can never judge a rump steak so very rarely buy them.
