Are these rump steaks really cheap?

fantasyvn

I've just received an 'offer' from a company, Matthew Clough, which claims "29.99 for 10 grass fed, matured Rump Steaks- that is just £3.00 per steak! No supermarket can match this."

Did anyone try this? Is it worthy buying?

Thank you

Are they beef steaks?? You didn't say beef. A Steak is a cut of meat, doesn't always mean it is beef though.

Yes, according to the ad, this is Irish beef steaks.

Does it give a weight for the steaks - they might be very small. 6 -7 oz British rump is priced at £4.97 but it says the same size Irish rump is £7.48 - that's on the Westin Gourmet site.

No, there is no info on the weight. So perhaps I should not buy it.

Aldi British Rump £2.99 for 10oz, £10.57 per kg

The question is whether you want to pay extra for Irish grass fed/ 'mature'

Say 6.5 oz each, 10 piece ~ 1.84 kg
i.e. £16.30 per kg

As others have said - impossible to say without knowing the weight

If it's the same offer as this http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/10-x-21-day-matured-6-7oz-grass-fed-rump-steaks-29-99-westin-gourmet-2159331 then it's about £16.20 a kilo (on average).

That's more expensive than the standard Tesco range but a bit cheaper than the "Tesco Finest" range. So it really comes down to the quality of the meat - which I can't comment on as I've never tried it.

Buying meat without seeing it is a gamble, when you choose a piece of meat you choose a piece that looks like it will eat well.

Thank you. Without seeing the meat, it is hard to decide. So I won't buy it.

I wouldn't be totally put off buying meat online - I've bought this a couple of times for BBQs and it's been excellent: http://pampasplains.com/beef/ribeye/whole-beef-ribeye.html

This one is also really good: http://www.turnerandgeorge.co.uk/the-cuts/onglet.html
