I see it is being offered as a pre-existing TSV today. They look pretty good, but, I hesitate to order food in bulk from shopping channels.

Just yesterday I was reading reviews for various Rastelli line of meats.  You can check too - but I kept seeing beef cuts as tough - fatty - hard to chew - so obviously not 5 star in buyer's opinion.  Now some reviews were ***** great; but was surprised at the number of negative ones.

Even pork........

I have and auto-del on their Black Angus steaks and we really like them.  I tried Curtis Stone's steaks and they had too much grissle in them and I don't like that kind of meat.  Rastelli's are good and all is edible.

Rastellis prices are insane. It works out to $37 per pound. Whole Foods is selling filet mignon for $30 per pound. I don't see the value. Every time I see them selling it on tv I do the math and I'm shocked at what they are charging. I think you could do better elsewhere.

@Grouchomarx We know free shipping - ain't free.

Out of the gate - QVC vendors have to cover the cost of those freezer containers + the shipping charges.

If we really believe s/h is free - we're only kidding ourselves.

LOL

Thank you for your replies. I didn't mean to say pre-existing!!  I hate it when my tablet just assumes it knows what I want to say.

@Sapphiregal - We are very happy with Rastelli anything! I realize you pay a little more, but the convenience of having it shipped to my front door is worth it. 

I haven't tried the filet, but we HAVE had the Beef Wellington and that is amazing! I just got more for the holidays. We like the ribeye too.

If they were to be honest (ha ha), they would say, 'Shipping and handling included,' because as you implied nothing is free.  I also dislike when they say, '...and we're giving you....'  They give us nothing; we pay for everything.  They should say, 'Also included in your purchase is.....'  Just sayin'    docsgirl

@fthunt  .... I buy a lot of Rastelli meat .... the best beef are the rib steaks & the pork chops are fantastic..... I didn’t care for the hot dogs & don’t like the seasoning package that comes with the steaks .. it has too much pepper in it & I don’t use pepper on my food .. I found the other beef products too chewy & have only used them in stews 😃

We get the 9oz rib eyes on auto delivery .They are very good.
