Steak is one of my favourite meals that I seldom get to savour, so when the opportunity arose to consume a small field of cattle, I jumped at it. As the cost-of-living crisis rages on, we as a country are being forced to cut costs through any means necessary, with luxury foods being a prime example. Spending upwards of £5 in store for one piece of meat is simply not feasible in this day and age, especially not consistently.
That said, we shouldn't deprive ourselves of the good stuff too much, life is still there to be lived is it not? The steaks were all cooked the same way for the same amount of time (Image: Newsquest) I haven't had steak for a long while, and certainly not in any restaurant where you can easily part with £30 or more for a good slice of cow. It goes without saying that your local butcher will probably give you the best cut of beef that is restaurant-grade, but in the interest of more money for your buck, the supermarkets were under the spotlight here. There are so many supermarkets out there that sell a whole range of meats, but which one offers the best steak? Well, to find out for you, I decided to risk a limb or two to gout and bought 6 standard ribeye steaks from 6 of the major supermarkets.
To meat lovers , you're welcome, to PETA, I'm sorry. All steaks were cooked the same, 2-3 minutes on either side (medium rare), and seasoned in olive oil and salt and pepper, no sauces were allowed. I am no chef by any means, but these were the results: The 6 packa.
