Most people do not get steak night wrong on the pan. They get it wrong in the basket. A pair of steaks for two is not the same shop as a freezer fill for a family of four, and at Meatsupermarket.com the pack size is printed in the title so you can buy what you will actually cook.
Start with how many you are feeding
A 6oz steak is a sensible plate for most adults. An 8oz steak is a proper butcher’s portion. Two people sharing a midweek steak supper are well served by Sirloin Steak 2x 8oz or the slightly smaller Sirloin Steak 2x 6oz. Both sit in our sirloin steaks collection, and both are two steaks in one pack so you are not left with a half-empty tray.
If ribeye is the cut you want, the same logic applies. Rib-eye Steak 2x 6oz is the two-person pack. The extra fat in ribeye means you do not need a huge weight to get a rich plate. Browse the rest of the ribeye steaks range if you want a 10-pack instead of a pair.
When a bigger pack is cheaper cooking, not waste
Once you are cooking steak more than once a week, a two-pack starts to look dear per meal. That is when you move to sixes, eights and tens. Sirloin Steaks 6x 6oz covers three steak nights for two people. The Family Sirloin Steak Bundle – (8x6oz) is the same idea for a household that will get through eight steaks before they tire of them.
Rump is the cut to choose when flavour matters more than tenderness and you want the freezer working for you. Rump Steak 8x 6oz and Rump Steak 10x 6oz are the workhorse packs in our rump steaks collection. Rest the steaks after a hot pan, slice across the grain, and rump eats far better than its price suggests.
One big steak versus a pack of portions
Not every steak night is a neat 6oz each. Big Daddy Rump Steak 16oz is one steak, not a pack, and it is meant to be shared or eaten by someone with a proper appetite. The same goes for The Caveman Sirloin Steak 16oz and the XL Sirloin Dinner Plate Steak (20oz). Buy those when the occasion is the steak, not when you are stocking Tuesday and Thursday.
How we would shop it
Two for tonight: a 2x pack of sirloin or ribeye. Family steak night: the 8x6oz sirloin bundle. Freezer fill: rump in eights or tens, plus a 2x fillet if you want one lean treat in the same order. Free delivery on orders over £85 is the number to keep in mind when you add a second pack.
Shop the full beef steaks collection and pick the pack that matches the week you are actually cooking, not the week you wish you had.
