Dulce de leche

Just about to order some nice rib eye for the weekend and stumbled across this.

Firstly is the produce from Tom Nixon worth the premium?

Secondly, why are they giving 450g of dulce de leche in a meat box? Am I missing something?

Dulce du ledge is an Argentinian thing. It's everywhere over there. Not so much with steak though.

Did you spot this, OP?

I did spot that;)

Big green egg xl arrives on sat so picking steak for sat dinner

I think Wagyu would be a good choice

I've had a root round the Internet for ribeye and dulce de leche and can't find any recipies so I can only assume it's his way of selling his excess stock of the stuff

I occasionally make dulche de leche chocolates - lovely.

Dulce de Leche has nothing to do with beef whatever. It is basically highly sweetened milk and a bad batch once gave me a very bad case of butt sick in Mexico.

As for the beef value - well it will be Hereford or Angus grass-fed beef aged for an indeterminate period. You can buy the same thing in the UK readily enough. Main difference between the experience of eating beef in an Argentine restaurant compared to a normal UK restaurant is that the Argentines use much more seasoning when they cook your steak.

Personally I would buy UK beef.
