Gutted! awful steak

You gave steak to the cats?!! Blimey!

Never heard of a nice beef and vegetable stew?

I've always heard good results from both Aldi and Lidl, but why is it that I feel I can't go into those shops ? I can't explain what it is either. I've looked around, that's all, but never bought anything.

Another vote for Aldi and Lidl meat here.

Sainsbury's and M&S steak leave a lot to be desired but I have never been disappointed with steaks from Aldi.

I usually buy any meat from our excellent butcher. Occasionally pick up steak from M and S, its always been good.

I always have a couple of Ribeye in from Aldi and have found them delicious always serve them medium with a pepper sauce and saute potatoes for a quick and easy meal.

Always buy Sainsbury's steak, the Picana cut. It's delicious. Apparently it's a Brazilian style cut, very lean, and just melts in the mouth. I cook it medium rare; never had a bad one.

We had chicken from M & S last Sunday. Totally inedible, I think even a cat would have struggled to chew it.

SueDonim sort of same post, sorry!

Poor lamb.

Lamb in my case!

Depends on the cow I suppose.

Piece of lamb I cooked at lunchtime wasn't great. Was from Waitrose. Had it before and it's been lovely. You can never tell with a piece of meat.

BlueBelle confused by your comment "never eaten steak, don't like it" how do you know you don't like something if you've never eaten it?

We love rump steak wit roasted vegetables. The steak comes from our local co-op and we have never had a bad one.

Most Saturdays we have steak, salad and either new potatoes or jackets ( yes, I know boring, but Saturday supper must be reasonably healthy, quick to prepare and minimal washing up!)

The steak always comes from Lidl, usually ribeye, always absolutely yum!

I have also complained to Sainsbury’s about steak, nothing else incidentally, I got my money back but a meal is ruined.
Also had disappointing steak from both Aldi and M&S but mostly ok.

Nortsat45 have had to complain to Sainsburys before about their food, I think their quality is going downhill

rose. I feel a bit squeamish about it tbh, but I know that isn’t rational.

I've purchased locally sourced grass fed that was nothing to brag about, but as a rule is good-

Have you seen the stem cell meat being grown in labs?

I buy mine from a farmer - free range, grass fed and organic. I can so recommend meat from a similar source it is delicious. In fact tonight we had beef stroganoff made with beef fillet tail end. It was so tasty and tender.

I know it is expensive, but you are putting something into your body that is as good as possible and the animal has had a good a life as is possible. I cut down on the amount of meat we eat by alternating it with fish and vegetarian.

How do you know you don't like steak, BlueBelle, if you've never eaten it?

I think an awful steak is so disappointing, more so than other meals. I guess it's relatively expensive and used to be totally out of reach for most people's budgets so it feels such a waste. Lucky cats, though!

I get mine from M&S - now I fancy a steak for dinner. I'll have to go and get some.

Tried most places for teak, including local butchers, but have always gone back to Waitrose. I only buy it now and again and when on offer.

fizzers we had a couple of awful steaks from Sainsbury's 'best' range on one occasion. I wrote to customer service protesting the quality and they refunded my money and gave us a £10 voucher as a goodwill gesture.

I would share your outrage with Sainburys ...
