Which cut of beef?

[falcon]

Which cut should we have for Xmas dinner this year? I'm tired of turkey and we've decided to splash out and buy a really nice piece of beef.

The problem is I'm not sure which cut to get, taste is priority, I favour that over texture and how lean the cut is.
Any recommendations would be very welcome.

Also if anyone could suggest an online supplier they've used I'd be very grateful.

TIA.

Treat yourselves to a delicious aged rib of beef.

definitely rib. on the bone.

Or Sirloin.Yum Yum

Forget Top side, Silverside or Brisket as these are really cheap cuts.

Don't buy online.

Go to a nice (recommended) buthers.

You will never get teh same quality online.

these look good

Though perhaps I should try the local farmers market, but the farm above hang their beef for 4 weeks which does appeal.

Rib on the bone.

Donald Russell does delicious beef! They are expensive but very lovely.

Sirloin. Utterly yum - we had it two years ago. This year I think it'll be goose or duck.

I'd have lamb if I could, it's my favourite me, but unfortunately I'm the only member of my family who likes it.

If you have a local butcher I'm sure they'd be happy to hang onto a rib of beef for at leats 4 weeks - up to 6 is good too. Never bought meat on line would prefer to go and view if I'm going to splash out - but I can see butchers shop from my work space .

Rip on the bone wins hands down.

Rib but get them to chine the bone.

Or a whole fillet is lovely and doesn't take much cooking - so more time in front of the fire with the DCs. Lovely en croute or just flash roasted with some red wine gravy.

Not too late as xmas only round the corner! Rib, deff, treat it well and imo do not chine the beef. Make the meal of cutting the fine succulent flesh from the bone as part of the meal (hoping that does not sound crass). MTJAA Red wine gravy, lovely, made from the roast tin and Horseradish or Wassabe.

I second Donald Russell - they are expensive but give you your money back if you've ever tasted better beef, so not a risky buy. This 2-bone rib tastes incredible.
