I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts on a very unsatisfactory meat purchase. I urge others to read reviews before making a decision.
Feedback on recent purchase. My family and I occasionally buy roasting joints for gatherings and have generally been satisfied with the quality. However, this time, we were quite let down by the roast.
We followed the cooking instructions carefully, removing the joint at the recommended temperature since we prefer our beef rare. After resting, it was served.
While the exterior seemed well-cooked, the interior was firm and pink.
Regrettably, the meat was extremely tough, making it difficult to cut even with sharpened knives. Each slice required significant effort, and chewing it was quite exhausting. The next day, I simmered the slices in stock, but they remained tough.
I expected the ribeye to be tender, and I believed the cut would complement it. Unfortunately, I now understand that this joint needed braising to be enjoyable. I feel for the family who prepared it, as they might blame themselves, and I am disappointed that I paid a significant amount for this experience. I would appreciate a response regarding how to better prepare such a joint and any advice on modifying this for other review platforms. Sincerely, very disappointed.
