This is a winner when cooked properly.
I have shopped at Tesco for many decades and when my father-in-law told me the price of this meat, we both assumed it was incorrectly priced. He is a good cook and does things precisely, so I hoped for the best and my goodness, it was! I have often tried meat and wine which have widely differing reviews, because I understand that taste buds differ but I have to say that this meat, if properly cooked, is superb in taste, texture and most certainly in value. I am not one who always sings praises but in this case - Tesco, take a bow!
Good for the price
I was a bit hesitant to buy this because of mixed reviews but it turned out fine in my Thai curry, my partner loved it. It was slightly tough but think that was my own fault, think i over cooked it. To be fair its a good cut of steak to put into dishes but probably wouldn't eat it by its self.
Recommended - lean AND succulent
Very good value - a generous portion, succulent meat and very lean - perfect with salsa verde and vegetable fries with salad as in the Tesco recipe. We loved them and will be getting them again - we rarely have steak or beef so this was a treat.
Tasty and tender
I buy this steak most weeks. I use it as a casserole steak in my pressure cooker and it always is delicious. I have not been disappointed and prefer it to braising steak.
superb
thick juicy and tender best steak i have has in a long time
Cheapest beef steak Tesco offers. Expectations met

Not the best
Tough and chewy, not the best
Good value
If cooked properly this is a surprisingly nice tender cut for the price. Also thinly sliced in to strips and used in stir fry, it's better and about the same price as the sir fry beef you can buy but without the gristle.
An Insult to Steak
This is awful. Fair enough, it is cheap. You get what you pay for. But this is the toughest cut of steak I have ever eaten. If you want steak, don't buy this, go that little further & at least grab a rump steak. This is like a whole steak of that bit you set aside because it was too tough & chewy.
So tender my husband loves this
