Taste

We had the 6-7oz Matured British Sirloin Steak and were not disappointed. With a massive mouth-watering depth of flavour and unbelievably tender, this melt in your mouth steak is juicy, succulent and one of the best we have tasted. Teaming it up with sweet potato fries, side salad and a layer of peppercorn sauce, this meal is absolutely flawless. The rich and meaty flavour is definitely memorable.

Preparation and Storage

When we received our steaks the use by date was 8 days later, which I thought was a great amount of time. However, unsure if we would eat it within the week I decided to freeze them. If you are freezing them, make sure you do it on the day of purchase to ensure the freshness. Once thawed these can not be re-frozen so make sure you use them within 24 hours of opening.

I defrosted my steaks overnight and around 4 hours before cooking I left them out of the fridge to warm to room temperature. I seasoned each side with salt and pepper and left them to soak in the flavours.

when cooking I used a teaspoon of coconut oil in my pan and raised the temperature until the pain was smoking. Standing back to avoid splashes, I added the steaks to the pan and seared each side for around 4 minutes. I allowed the steak to rest for a few minutes while I added sweet potato, salad and fried onions to the plate. I added the steaks, poured on the peppercorn sauce and voila. The perfect meal.

Value For Money and How To Buy

Normally opting for rump to save money, I found these Sirloin steaks to be priced extremely well. While most supermarkets sell ONE steak at £5, Musclefood’s £7 for two steaks is the best price I have ever seen. Instead of having to opt for rump, being able to eat sirloin without having to worry about the cost was a definite bonus and made our meal even more satisfactory.
