To think this is frying steak and not rump?

[cbeebiesisdrivingmemad]

Me and OH went away for the weekend we had a meal included in our stay but we didn't like the meals. so we could pay £10 surcharge for a rump steak. When I seen it and tasted it I thought this is not rump!! It tasted and looked like cheap frying steak.I did mention it to the waiter but she said she wasn't sure.

I'm not a steak connoisseur so just double checking before I tweet them.

It looks thinner than you'd normally cut rump steak, but it's very difficult to tell from a photo.

Hard to say with all that sauce, but I don't think I've ever seen rump this thin

I mean, you can cut any steak really thin if you want - hard to say what the cut is but a £10 supplement for that is pretty ridiculous.

It looks vile .

I would not have paid £10 supplement for that!

I have seen thin cut rump for sale, probably for use in stir fry/sandwiches etc. To charge £10 for that though is an absolute pisstake. I would have complained.

Rump is usually cut thicker, but as pp says, anyone can cut it to any thickness.

I don't if frying steak refers to a particular cut, or just the thickness?

I also wouldn't be happy paying a £10 supplement for that.

thats not rump.

Rump is usually cut thicker but hard to say. That looks way way over cooked though which won’t have helped.

I’d want a plate for a start.

That looks poached 🤢

Yuk! It really doesn't look like a rump steak.

For an extra ten quid, I'd definitely want a steak more than half a centimetre thick. And no, doesn't look like rump either, but I'm less bothered by that than how crap it is generally. Complain away!

It's massively over cooked and I'd expect it to be thicker if it was advertised as rump steak.

It is incredibly unhygienic to serve meat on wooden boards.

That's not rump.

When you tweet them, say when you saw it, not seen it. I'm sorry to sound like a twat but it'll make you sound better. Again, I'm not trying to offend you.

I think it’s a bit thin for rump, and that meal doesn’t look at all appetising tbh

Also why do they insist on putting steak with all its juice on a wooden board, what’s wrong with a plate??

If that was £10 extra how much did you pay in total?

It's over cooked too.

Definitely doesn't look like any rump I've ever had!

Why didn’t you complain and refuse to pay at the time?

Rump is the part of the animal so can be thick or thin, don't think that's worth a supplement though

I'd send it back and ask for a plate for a start, not a wanky block of wood.

Looks horrible, over-cooked and probably not rump.

Basic rule of thumb: if steak is grey, don’t eat it
🤢

Ugh. Generally I’m pro-steak at every opportunity but how long did they cook that microscopically-thin steak? Even if you asked for it well done, all one tone and grey is not what you should be going for. I don’t think that steak ever saw a hot pan. Shameful. I wouldn’t feed it to my cats.

(Sorry, I get very cross about poorly cooked steak!)

Also: drowning a steak in beige sauce is basically the equivalent of cake decorators sticking flowers everywhere. They’re just hoping if you can’t see it, you won’t notice it’s awful. As if.
