He’s all sizzle and no steak
O kuru gürültü
The idiom is properly he’s all sizzle and no steak, meaning that the person being spoken about had an appearance of ability but was actually ineffective. He might have borrowed another idiom with the same sense and said the person was all talk and no action or — in the Texan version — all hat and no cattle.
