    Has anyone here noticed a decline in the quality of beef lately? We have purchased steak from three different sources recently and noticed it was really tough and full of grizzle and in the last case it smelled off and was tough as old leather!

    Butchers with the craft logo are sourced and checked. My butcher gets it meat from a farm in Meath.

    Sirloin has been one cut with the biggest variation going back years imo.

    I haven't noticed any change lately.

    I have found that it's hard to trust butchers in terms of longevity and freshness.
