If only the stew meat you buy actually looked like the picture here! What we bought was nothing like those small, lean pieces. Ours was full of very large to giant chunks and even strips of meat that it required us to go through all 4 lbs and reprocess almost every chunk into smaller pieces which was very time consuming. The butchers at Sam's were obviously very lazy. In the end, the beef was tender and delicious.

While there was a lot of meat in the package, the cuts were not good. Instead of diced stew meat, at least half of the package was made up of large flat pieces. I figured this would be okay when cooked down, but after being in a crockpot all day for beef stew, the meat is still tough and almost gristly. Not a single piece cooked down to be tender. I don't know if this was just a bad batch or something, but it has deterred me from buying my stew meat from here in the future.

Sorry, but this package of Beef Stew was not as expected. There were two kinds of meet and so many fat slivers that it was an apology at best. I guess we expected a package like your picture but I am a realist - I have been fooled by McDonald,s pictures of the Big Mac as well.

I'm terrible disappointed that the package of stew meat I bought said it weighed 2.81 pounds but when I weighed it at home because my recipe only called for 2 pounds it only weighed 2.13 pounds. Probably why you don't see any scales in the Grand Forks ND store anywhere.

Absolutely disguising. This is so full of gristle and bone fragments that it isn't even edible. What a waste of $25. Feeding it to the neighbors dog. I will NEVER buy this again. So nasty. Tossed the entire pot that I had cooked as stew - veggies and all. Couldn't even fish out the veggies and save them for all of the bone fragments in it.

I'm going to say we have purchased 40-50 packages of stew beef from Sam's over the past few years and always and I mean always top quality stew beef. My wife usually breaks the package up into 3 separate packages and freezes the other 2. So she is going to make a beef stew for this weekend and we are all out so we are going to run over to Sam's this morning and get another package and a package of the 88/12 hamburger meat which is always top quality to !

I normally buy this alot and it's decent. However I bought it a few days ago and there was more unuseable fat/gristle hidden under the top meat that I would have thought possible. I called the store. She said I could bring it back but what a hassel.. So I guess I learned my lesson and won't buy this again from Sams. What a waste of $21 bucks!!!

Great value, the marbling was consistent throughout, buttery texture and rich beefy flavor.

Best beef - we buy only from Sam's club for their quality

good meat for making stew
