I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a great steak in the UK. The beef is just very low quality compared to what is sourced in the USA. Far too lean in the UK. I and I generally find them a bit tougher too possibly due to more roaming by the cattle.
Now, UK pork on the other hand is tremendous.
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoFor whatever reason, unless you go super high end, beef in the UK tends not to be great. Given that it's much better in Ireland, which has the same climate, I don't really understand it.
- OJFord 5y agoAre you comparing at similar price points? I wonder if there's just more (too much) interest at the cheap (plumped up with water, for one thing) end here.
- rowanajmarshall 5y agoLikely due to the conditions I described, I think meat here tends to be more "gamey", a bit leaner and all that. Like, steak is popular here but we don't have steak culture like I've seen described in the Midwest, or Texas. A lot of our beef ends up in pies, or sauces, or stuff like that.
