We had a lovely organic rolled ribeye joint for Christmas lunch (shout out to Graig Farm, Newtown, Wales, whose meat we’ve had for the last 4 years), a joint I’d previously never come across Our first beef in many years, just because of cost. It was 2kg and it cost me £76. That was on offer (no idea why) down from £55.45 per kilo! Actually, maybe that’s the reason - the cost! Anyway, there’s virtually no waste, and it cooked in 1 1/4 hours, so much less work than our more usual shoulder of pork - though the pork is only £15/kg boned and rolled. But at roughly the same price as silverside or topside, much better value.
