In the end it had over 3 hours on the bench to marinate.

I've been told to either soak in milk, or squeeze kiwi fruit over it and leave it for a few hours to tenderize meat.

I've never actually tried it myself as I get my meat fresh from a real butcher, and not from a freezer like coles meat

Last night -
I had some Drovers Choice Beef Rump Steak | 230g
$7.00
$30.43 per 1kg

here:

https://www.coles.com.au/product/drovers-choice-beef-rump-steak-230g-3920479

I made it into a curry with onions and a bit of tomato sauce and some
flour to thicken it at the end.
I simmered it for only 35 minutes and it was super tender - beautiful -
best curried beef I've had in ages.

Yeah—I get mine from a proper butcher or from the bulk butcher whi supplies good meat at excellent prices. When I get my chest freezer empty will see about buying a quarter cow for bigger savings.

OK - what cut of beef do you use for a curry and how long do you simmer it for?

Note: - the onions used with the beef are acidic and help to tenderise the meat.

If you want to maximize your savings get a group together and buy a whole carcass and divide up between the group straight from the abattoir.

Yes - considerable savings.

When I was young - say 14 to 16 -
I cut up half a sheep many times into regular cuts using a chart as a guide -
and it was put down into our freezer.
It's not an easy job -
I used a hacksaw with a new blade - a knife and a meat axe.
I don't think many people could do it and you do need a large freezer.

I can buy 2Kg rump or porterhouse for $20/Kg. That is plenty—I eat more veg and white meat now due to age and preventing dementia. Worked with Mum. But like a steak once a week so $20/Kg is fine. Buy steak get bones for Socks, lamb shanks etc free. But for families or those eating lots of red meat, yeah buy a whole or half cow or sheep or pig.

Hmm nearly May—will start hassling the bulk butcher for a pig head for stock for pea soup.
