Was walking in town on monday and saw in the window that sirloin steaks were a quid each so i figured ooh ill have some of that. Went in and bought 10 and poor old women asked for 2 after me and the women had to wait as there was only 1 left on the display plate thing and had to get someone out back to bring more out haha. :D

Still i mean sirloin for a quid thats a good deal tho aint it. As usually when im at asda its like 5er for 2 or somit. Were quite nice looking ones as well. Using my mothers freezer and put em in freezer bags 2 per bag, so theres my sunday dinners sorted for down hers for some nice steak for 10 weeks. :D

As meat shouldn't be bright red like you get in some supermarkets/products.

Ageing process should dull the meat. Some places also put chemicals on to keep the Bright red colour. Bright red is the sign of poor meat for those reasons.

Said it was red i didn't say it was bright red. It looked fresh i mean google sirloin steak and thats the colour i got.

Oh and the butchers was Dickson M I Ltd

Yeah if that was the last i would have said oh make it 9 and let the lady have one but i heard her say wait a tick we need to get someone to bring out some more from the back. So everyone wins. Maybe they just had overstocked or something and made it into a sale or somit for all i know.
 
Some wanted pics of it. Well here is 2 pics one of them contains 2 of the steaks defrosted for todays dinner, that i bought when i posted this topic. Another is 3 of em my mother bought today as offer is STILL going on lol.

Sure some will say there is somit wrong with em but had em today and tasted nice so meh. Bit bright due to the led flash on my camera phone. They looked a bit darker than this when viewing em as normal tho.



 
Butchers was near poundstretchers in sunderland to the person who asked where i got em from. Duno if offer is still on tho as its been awhile now.
 
Just thought i would post some pics of 2 that i cooked for sunday dinner the other day. Came out rather nice as i have never got them properly pink in the middle without looking undercook but i think i nailed it this time. bout 2 mins each side then oven gas mark 5 for 7 mins i think. Came out lovely. Medium-Well i think this would be called?


 
Offer still going on as well as my mother has bought a few more steaks every weekend since for our sunday dinners over hers, didnt this weekend like but duno offer still might be on. Tempted to go to town tho i hate going and maybe get another 10ers worth if the offers still on.
 
Found out it wasn't dickons it was some butchers called Rob's. Still.. It was more packed than dickons which was what 10 yards further down the path. They are still doing £1 sirloins but when i got some today they looked rather thin cut (width ways) i must admit, only hand picked the best 7 i thought were worth a quid i.e not the thin strip ones.

Had some for dinner which were nice but slightly over done em a bit somehow even tho i did the 2mins each side and 7 mins in oven like before but maybe the other ones were thicker i dunno or maybe because i preheated the oven this time instead because i didnt last time. Ah well still was nice. Kept 1 for dinner tomorrow and got mother to freeze the other 4 so i should have around 14 or so in total over in my mothers in the freezer, lack of space means i can't keep em myself.
