fillet/rump can you slow cook?

Hi,

I have guests coming tomorrow, and I decided to cook thai yellow beef curry, which I usually do with stewing steak and slow cook.

However I got a real bargain on some counter offcuts of fillet steak and rump...

I thought it might be special for them, but how do I cook it and keep it tender, but not be slaving over a hot stove while they are here??

I am assuming that if I slow cook it, it will get tough?? Please stop me from ruining my bargain and going off to buy stewing steak so I can stick to what I know!!

Thanks

I think it will get tough, but hopefully some culinary experts will be along soon.

Hi,

It should be fine, using a slow cooker - fillet does not have as much flavour when cooked this way (however as your dish will have lots of nice thai flavour, this wont be a problem) ....YUM YUM

Any chance i can come for dinner lol

I personally would go get the stewing steak and freeze the fillet & rump for a later date to eat as steaks.....I wouldn't 'waste' such good cuts by smothering them in curry sauce when they taste so yummy on their own!!

Thanks for all of your replies, I think I will pop out in the morning and get some braising steak - at least I know how it will turn out!!

Then we've got some loverly steak to have another time!!

Ps knowing me there will end up being enough for all of you too...!
