To slow cook two ribeye steaks?

[summerrevival]

I ordered two rump steaks from Sainsbury’s this weekend. My plan was to slow cook them. Nothing fancy, just the cheap £3 steaks. I get four meals out of it, I slow cook it with stock and tomatoes and it’s gorgeous.

For some reason Sainsbury’s have substituted them for two of their premium ribeye steaks. I don’t eat steak in the traditional way - a slab of fried beef doesn’t appeal to me at all, but I love it slow cooked.

AIBU to still fry them up and slow cook them? It feels like a bit of a waste of such a premium cut of meat, but I think it would be more wasteful to not use it!

It's not nonsense , i absolutely cannot put a lump of steak meat in my mouth and chew it , it is not delicious to me.
I don't even like the look of steak.
Each to their own.

Use a different oil, olive is not appropriate on a high heat, and less so a good quality one.

If this is your method the cheaper cuts are more suited to it for better flavour and value.

use shin, neck, braising. All will be cheaper and tastier.

@summerrevival does your steak have good marbling? Here’s a recipe cooking rib eyes in the slow cooker https://slowcookermeals.com/ribeye-steak-in-crock-pot/

You can likely shred them afterward because they’ll be tender.

Sacrilegious!!!

I buy ribeye for DH - it goes in a hot pan with olive oil and butter, and I cook for about 2 minutes on each side then leave it to rest for 5 minutes. It's so quick to cook that I wouldn't faff about reheating it, just do it fresh each time.

Buy the cheaper cuts as suggested. They will be even better slow cooked. You are wasting money.

That’s either very thin steak or it’s being cooked almost blue.

Do what you usually do!
