Nice tender steak and although tasty I was rather disappointed. I chose this more expensive steak based on the photo and description both of which made me expect a nicely marbled steak. I know fat is the enemy these days but it imparts flavour and if cooked properly is rendered down. The fat leaves the meat but the flavour remains. Please Tesco if you are advertising a richly marbled steak check to make sure they are!!!
Tough as old boots
One of the worst steaks I have had. More like a cheap tough sirloin than a tender Ribeye. Never again.
Normally very reliable but lots of waste last time
We normally order this every week (when in stock) and have happy to pay the premium price for what we think is the best steak to be had from a mainstream supermarket. We love the slightly thicker cut and the flavour imparted by the aging slightly higher fat content (so succulent when rubbed with oil and seasoning, then griddled rare). However, instead of the usual core of creamy edible fat, our most recent 258g purchase contained 55g (21.3%) of rock hard gristle and sinew which had been DELIBERATELY HIDDEN on the under i.e. non-presentation side. This is not really acceptable. Tesco need to take this up with the supplier/packer. but there is no proper process for returning perishable products purchased on-line and no process for complaining other than hanging on the phone for ages. Hope this is just a blip.
Great cut
Cooked to medium as per instructions on a ridged pan, blushing in the middle and so soft and tender. Wish I'd got the largest one because it was delicious; and next to no waste unlike the Sirloins I've had before. New Years day is a Fillet so I'll report on that as well; looks mighty good in the pack. with that I'll try a Coleman's Pepper sauce. John
Nice
Received much smaller than ordered but still very good ribeye.
Worth every penny.

If you’re cooking on a braii/barbecue only buy the thickest cut available. Thin cuts off meat on a barbecue don’t cook well

Exorbitant price for a mediocre steak.
No discernible taste difference between this and Tesco’s basic ribeye alternative at half the price. Don’t waste your money.
