Yet another meat item gone down hill.
I stopped buying these rump steaks about 6 to 8 weeks ago I believe, very poor product. They started deteriorating firstly with too much fat, and then just too chewy to a point you could not eat them even with good teeth!
Tough
I purchase some steak last week and it was tough and inedible, but thought I would give it another try as maybe I had been unlucky. But again after careful cooking it was tough, very disappointing, will not buy again.
Tough
My husband pronounced it "the worst steak I've had in 15 years". Although it looks beautiful, the lack of graining/fat means it comes out like rubber, no matter how carefully you cook and then rest it. It took so much chewing that I basically had to make mince of it to be able to eat it. Thanks for refunding me for one of the steaks, but actually all three which I bought were of the same disappointing texture.
A con
This was not a steak, but a thin piece of fat covered meat folded in half with the fat inside to look like a steak.
Excellent
I bought this last week with some trepidation due to the mixed reviews and the varying quality of most supermarket meat. I usually grill steak, but fried this as advised. Delighted to say it was voted absolutely delicious by all four of us. Very tender, full of flavour and no gristle.
Absolutely delicious for my stir-fry

These steaks looked lovely and lean but were total
These steaks looked lovely and lean but were totally uneatable. I bought four, as a treat, not for my personal consumption, but the bulk of the three that were cooked went in the bin. They were extremely tough and unchewable. When I rang Tesco they said they couldn't refund just because something was too chewy, so I had spent £14.00 on food that was wasted, which I cannot afford to do. They suggested that I could send a photo to show what the problem was!?! It's not that the steaks were bad, but could just not be chewed. The fourth steak will have its picture taken for Tesco. What matters to me even more is why the meat is tough in the first place, and any issues with the animals which may ultimately be leading to tough meat. From some of the other reviews expressing dissatisfaction and reflecting a similar issue with toughness, couldn't Tesco just take the responsibility for selling a product not fit for purpose, and the reasons why if any, and if necessary check the welfare of the animals from their suppliers, because it's not the animals' fault.
great quality and the price is great.

Very very tough!
