Tough despite being only medium cooked and bloody
I am afraid I have to agree with the other reviews. The silverside was awful. I am not sure about the principle of ordering on the basis that you might receive either silverside or topside. They are very different. I certainly would never buy silverside again but have no way of knowing which I would get.
Received twice as much as i ordered which was nice
Received twice as much as i ordered which was nice, but what is the point when there is a thick layer of gristle all the way through the middle. Embarrassing and disappointing for me, AND THE TESCOS BUYER. FIND NEW STAFF.
Have always bought Tesco beef when it has been at
Have always bought Tesco beef when it has been at offer price, so I was very disappointed with the one I had for Christmas dinner, absolutely tasteless, tough and no beefy smell whilst cooking, Cooked in a slow cooker which has always been perfect. Worrying bit is I bought several of these joints to stock up on.
inedible
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Christmas dinner had to be postponed so I decided to buy the Tesco Medium Beef Roasting Joint on Christmas eve while I save the other meat I bought for a later date but as others have stated it is the worst. Cooked to the time stated and it's raw, put it back in to cook and it came out tough and inedible as it was near impossible to chew down. The vegetables and sauce I cooked ended up getting cold while I waited for the meat to cook and by then it was not worth the wait as I could not even eat the meat. I haven't bought meat from Tesco for a while and likely will be a long while before I do again. Shame I can't give zero stars.
very tough really terrible, our Christmas diner wa
very tough really terrible, our Christmas diner was ruined, wont buy this again
Really disappointed
Really disappointed. Was so tough that it was inedible despite being cooked to recommended time and temperature (checked with thermometer) and rested. Even the dog struggled to eat it after we gave up!
Dreadful beef joint.
Purchased for Sunday lunch, cooked as directed, perhaps we were unlucky but this was a truly awful joint of beef, lots of sinew which should have been removed during butchery. Will definitely not purchase again!
Disgusting
Absolutely disgusting for the price may get a sandwich out of it go to Morrisons same price triple the size
Do not buy if it is Silverside
Tough and unedable. I cooked it for the correct time and ended up rwith a meatless Sunday Lunch. Now I have looked the packaging it is Silverside, only suitable for cooking for a number of hours in a slow cooker.
Rubbish, please Tesco read these reviews,
These joints went downhill last Xmas and are same this year. I have in previous years stacked freezer with these joints, however since last Xmas they have changed. Big fat lumps of fat just stuck on top and meat chewy. what have they done?? No more for me
