I always like to buy decent quality meat for meals such as beef curry, stir frys and sunday dinners, however as it's winter i've been cooking alot of stews and so I didn't see the problem in buying a slightly less expensive pack of beef - it was only going to be added into a pot of veg and broth and blended, so I wasn't too fussy. This beef is from Tesco's value range, and costs £3.10 for a 450 gram pack. This isn't a bad price, but to be honest it isn't a huge amount cheaper than non-value beef in similar sized packs - there's only around a 50 pence difference. The beef comes in a clear plastic tray with a cellophane/thin plastic type lid which is ...  Read the complete review

=== The product === This is diced beef from the Tesco Value range. This is sliced up all ready for cooking and the chunks are fairly large and a decent mouthful. This is a convenience meat really and is all ready for use. == The packaging === This beef comes in the standard 'meat' kind of casing.

There is also a sticky paper label over this showing all the usual information such as how long to cook this for and when it should be consumed by. The packaging is tough, strong and sturdy. It sits in the bottom of my fridge and ...  Read the complete review

Tesco Value Diced Beef Description: Manufacturer: Tesco / Type: Meat. Anyone who regularly reads my reviews (many thanks, I really appreciate it!) will know that I review a lot of products from the supermarket ranges which offer savings to customers by spending less on posh looking packaging.

I have recently started buying items from the Tesco Value range, whereas before, I admit that I passed it by, assuming that the cheap and nasty packaging ...  Read the complete review

I got this diced beef to try because it was loads cheaper than the normal Tesco stewing beef and I was on a big time budget that day, I was going to be cooking the stew for ages so I knew a cheap meat would be ok. The only thing I was stressing about was that the meat was going to be tough when it was cooked because it was LOADS cheaper, I got loads of meat for £3.52 and it was all cut into massive pieces so I cut it all up again and got double the amount! There was a bit of fat on the beef but it was easy to cut off, it was mainly on the edges so it didn't take long to get it all off and then the meat looked just like any other stewing steak. I did it with ...  Read the complete review
