You're paying between $19.00 and $20.00 per pound, yet you don't have any indication of whether the meat is Choice or Prime. 

 

That's a whole lot of money for sirloin Steaks.

Re: RASTELLI SIRLOIN STEAKS

[ Edited ]

we purchased their top of the line steaks once - and never ever again will we buy from them.

they show beautiful meat during the presentation, and what we received were fatty and gross.

I do not eat animal - but my husband does and he ended up giving them to his cousin to cook for her 4 dogs.

I really like Rastelli and their products are very nice.   The pork ribeyes are my fav.   Those are so good!  I just had one the other day and it had been a while.  I almost forgot how good they are.  Smiley Happy

 

But I don't get the thing with them, and other vendors, and sirloin.   I just don't understand how sirloin, which is about as low-end as you can get for a steak, can be so expensive AND desired.

I don't understand that either.  Give me a fillet or prime rib anyday!

I’ll stick with getting my meat at Costco.  DH and I enjoy steak and usually have it twice a week, once with sautéed mushrooms and green vegetable, and the next night cut up into a tossed dinner salad. The sirloin works well for us and I can get 10 servings of steak for roughly $25 or so, making it very affordable for meals at home.  When we eat out we’ll order prime rib, ribeye, or filet.

Totally!  I'm a ribeye girl.  I'd take a filet in a pinch, but I just love the flavor/marbelling of a ribeye.   

 

My husband's favorite meal is a ribeye with my dry rub, and a roasted asparagus that I also make.   Best thing about that - it's a super easy meal to make and he's very, very happy.  Smiley Happy

Anyone who pays this price has a hole in their head.  You can find steaks this size 30-50 percent cheaper at Walmart.  Shop SMART folks.  So many people do not shop around they are impulse buyers like I used to be.

They are "desired" because it's in the marketing!
