tracyk

Hi all - bought some Bed Steak from my local butcher yesterday (it was reduced ) but now I've got it I don't know what to do with it....any ideas please...?

Also - what is Bed Steak?

TIA

Bad spelling....Best Steak perhaps!

My immediate thought was rump!!!

Bought 2 packets & both (& others) said 'Bed' - quite cheap - originally £5.20 per kilo - is that too cheap for rump do you think?

If you have a wobbly bed you put it under one of the legs to stabilise it!

I've googled it and it comes up a complete blank. Its surely got to be a mistake by the butcher.

After a few goes I got "Breakfast in Bed steak and eggs"

That'll do me

Sorry I can't be more help tracyk. Can you describe it a bit for us please?

My local butcher has a label printer and packs his own "specials". I now have a vision of him calling out to the young shop lad to put best steak on the label and it being misheard, ending up as bed steak.

Seriously though I have just found a diagram listing every cut of beef and where it comes from on the carcass and there is not a single cut called a Bed Steak.

I did think I had struck lucky but when I managed to get a clearer copy of the sheet, what looked like the word bed was in fact the word beef.

Maybe it's meant to say "Beef steak"?

We cross posted. I am sure that this is the answer.

It's about 3/4 inch think & just looks like a nice piece of steak - just had another look & it says 'Bed Steak Ovencook'.

It's from a well established, local abertoire that has recently opened a butcher's shop on site so they do all their own packaging & labelling so maybe it is a miss-print or special??

Either way - thanks to everyone for trying to help out - think I'll wrap in tin foil & cook for 30 mins in the oven & see what happens!
