Ordered this in Florida. It was slow roasted for three hours and cost about £18.

Had some Lidl rump stake last night, very good, certainly for the price paid.

I don't like it when the yanks serve up steak like that, I like rare but that really is just 'flesh'.

I have to agree, that looks rank. I don't want to come over all cheffy here, but surely the fact that there is no caramelisation on the meat means that the fat is completely inedible and the remainder is far less tasty than it would otherwise be with a bit of char on it?

Is that not 'prime rib' rather than steak?

Been have the five quid Aldi Fillet, season, get the pan so it is searingly hot, 2 mins either side, quick dab on the sides and serve, have had better in restaurants, but not very often and usually costs ten times more.

Most supermarket steak is grim, had a M and S 11 quid fillet and it wasnt any better than the Aldi ones.

I The 'handy steak'. Just under 1kg of ribeye. Only just fit in the griddle pan. I forgot about this thread and was too busy scoffing it for pictures. Probably the best steak I can think of to have a go at if you're a bit nervous about overcooking it. The marbling makes it just about unkillable. Rare but just turning medium rare after 15 minutes rest. Dellish!!!!

It's called Tiffnes steakhouse in the West end. Was good but think I prefer the butchers shop. Love the entrecote from the Butchershop so it's probably a bit of an unfair comparison.
