Is a rump steak a good compromise?

[SmileyLady]

I’m on a diet and there are mostly large servings of unhealthy meals at the club where we go for our monthly Autism meetup group. The healthiest and most affordable thing I can have is a rump steak and chips, for $30. The other approved things I can have are chicken schnitzel, or a burger and chips. They’re cheaper, but the steak is healthier.

I would say the rump steak is better, especially without the chips. Try to substitute them for a vegetable. If not, just get back on track the next day.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

Get the burger but dont eat the bun if you want to save money.

Opting for a rump steak can indeed be a decent compromise. Rump steak tends to offer a nice balance of flavor and nutrition, particularly because it's a leaner cut of beef. It can be a healthier choice compared to a schnitzel or burger, especially if you pair it with a side salad instead of chips. I remember enjoying a perfectly grilled rump steak in a small bistro in Florence, complemented by a fresh arugula salad. That meal was both satisfying and kept me feeling light afterward. Enjoying food that balances taste and nutrition is always a win! 🥩🥗

Rump roast is a very lean very tough and flavorless cut of beef.

You don't know how to cook then

@jahaims actually I'm a trained chef. I didn't say it couldn't be made reasonably tender, but undoubtedly it is one of the tougher cuts of beef and will never come near in either flavor or tenderness of a prime rib roast also called a standing rib roast.
