Have just had some Irish Entrecot steak for my tea - delicious. It wasn't until I was cooking it that I noticed it was born/killed/sliced in Ireland - and I bought it in a local Spanish supermarket. I will definitely be paying more attention to the labels when I next shop - the Irish info is in small writing.

I paid €14.20 a kilo for it, which I think is an offer. It was 'grueso' (thick)
slice, the Spanish seem to prefer all their meat thinly sliced, which I don't like. Anyone bought any today, in the UK or Ireland, and how much did you pay? Thanks

    Hi,

    Entrecote is the French name for ribeye or sometimes sirloin steak.
    Irish beef doesn't seem to be as highly prized as Scottish beef in the UK. Irish rump steaks are about £11.50 per kg, Irish sirloin about £15.50 per kg. Scottish sirloin about £17.99 per kg.

    Ribeye's one of my favourite cuts too. ;)
  • Thanks point, if I could get Scottish steak here without paying a King's ransom for it in an 'English' butchers, I would.

    Before Xmas I asked for Rack of Lamb in an 'English' butchers that had been recommended to me. I got frozen NZ. It cooked Ok, and was quite tasty, and compared price wise to the boxed frozen piece I saw later in the 'Iceland' outlet.
