    Hiya :)

    Might just be me, but I find their beef quite pale and tasteless. Beef is the one thing I pay more money for so I can get a good rib eye of aged Aberdeen Angus. Mmmm.

    I got some beef rump steak from our local Tesco last week and if I had been blindfolded could not have said what I was eating..as silcutblue said it was tasteless.

    Put it in some waxed paper and leave it somewhere cool for a few days. That will age it a bit and give it some flavour.

    Or (in addition to that tip) marinade the steak in a few tablespoons worth of olive oil and coat in a steak seasoning. Leave that in the fridge for a few hours and it makes the world of difference.

    I'm glad it's not just me then. Would never buy meat from Tesco again - tasteless, bloodless, tough...

    And that's the fillet!
