I bought this a few days ago and I was so disappointed. I will NEVER buy this here again. First, I have to say that I ordered through the online service because I'm handicapped. The packager hides hard gristle under the meat. There was only half of the packaged meat that was somewhat usable. I was actually worried about using any of it because of the questionable appearance and safety of the product in general. You decide from the pictures I provide. I have more photos, but I can't add them.

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 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!!!

Fortunately, we here in the USA do not worship cows; we eat them. Sam's does have the freshest, high quality beef around town. Unless you prefer to pay more at some butcher when the kids do not know the difference in the first place. Look forward to winter when beef stew will be a good dish. If the global elite really succeed in making us vegans, Indian vegan TV dinners will have to be a life saver. Unless they starve to death too.

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.

If I could I would give 0 stars. I have purchased this stew meat numerous times over the years and have not been disappointed; I could with confidence open the packet and throw the meat into the dutch oven. Today, however, I find the pieces of beef have been sloppily hacked without skill and/or care. In addition to the meat being extremely fatty, huge chucks of fat are also mixed in, the silver skin is still on and troublesome to remove from the little pieces of meat. The pieces are not in chunks as they usually are. There are pieces cut more appropriately for chopped steak; other pieces are big and flat. I’ve been trying to sift through the pieces and have been throwing the pieces into the Dutch oven but it’s been a half hour and I still have half of the tray to go. I am disgusted by this mess and the time it is taking to get this meal started. I’m going to throw this mess into a sack and bringing all back to the club to try to get a refund. I am tired of the prices rising and the quality and quantity declining for numerous products. I’m tired of bringing home products pulled for me that are dropped and damaged or near expiration or that go bad after a day or two in the fridge. En balance we pay more for the convenience of ordering on the app and curbside pickup. As time goes by I increasingly question if it’s worth it. In addition, I took pictures and went into settings on my phone and allowed everything and the photos will still not upload.

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 !

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.

no fat and no grizzle. very tender

Not buying this again I’ll buy a roast and cut my own pieces
