Score: 89/100

There's a lot to love about this sharing-style British beef steak. The lean flat iron cut is pre-scored for super quick cooking, and it took just eight minutes to achieve a beautiful blushing middle and perfectly charred exterior.

The Asian-inspired marinade complements the meat without overpowering it – serve with salad or add the tender slices to tacos.

Score: 88/100

Treat guests to a special piece of wagyu this summer, and wait for the compliments to roll in. Australian beef producer Jack’s Creek – winners of the “World’s Best Steak” award for two years running – has recently launched this range of marbled, grain-fed wagyu at Ocado.

You can expect an intense flavour from the thick, juicy rump, with a texture that cut like butter.

Add your favourite sides and a glass of malbec for a delicious steak dinner at home.

These thick-cut pork steaks make a great summer alternative to classic beef. The Italian-style rub is packed with fennel seeds, rosemary and oregano, which complements the clean, grassy meat and gives a flavour similar to porchetta.

They’re topped with herby butter for an indulgent finish and would make a great midweek dinner served with salad, toasted ciabatta and grilled peppers.

Score: 84/100

Slowly matured for a minimum of 21 days, this generously sized steak is thick with a good level of marbling, making it great for grilling. Those who enjoy a ribeye will appreciate the charred flavours with distinctive grassy notes.

As it's a fattier cut, make sure to cook it to medium rare rather than rare, to bring out the best flavour and texture.

Score: 83/100

For a more cost-effective way to enjoy wagyu, look to Aldi where you’ll find this quick-cooking flat iron version for less than £5! It comes with a classic smoked paprika, garlic and onion rub which is perfect for summer, and the tender meat cut like a dream. Try serving it thinly sliced and piled into soft wraps.

These are a lovely little lamb treat with an authentic Korean-style soy and chilli glaze, offering a gentle kiss of heat. The tender, buttery meat was very flavoursome, and would work well with a dollop of kimchi on the side.

Score: 81/100

This succulent bone-in British sirloin is made for sharing. It has been matured for 30 days, with a layer of fat that renders down well and a traditional American-inspired smoky dry rub. There’s also a portion of mustardy, peppery butter for the final, juicy baste.

Score: 79/100

Also taking inspiration from American steakhouses, this free-range, prime cut is dry-aged for at least 32-days, with plenty of marbling and a fat cap that results in an impressive long-lasting flavour.

The sharing-style cut certainly has the wow factor, and the thickness means you’ll be able to achieve a delicious crust, without overcooking.

Score: 79/100

These Sainsbury's juicy steaks are coated in a sweet and smoky, spicy chipotle. They’re pretty thin, so will cook quickly, and the heat builds in a pleasant way, without blowing your socks off.

Score: 79/100

Recreate the restaurant experience at home with Hawksmoor’s premium rib-eye steak. It was slightly leaner than expected, and testers enjoyed the lightly charred crust and robust beef flavour. An excellent choice for those who don’t like overly fatty steak.

The size and thickness also make for a great cooking experience, resulting in nicely browned meat that’s medium-rare to rare in the middle.

Score: 74/100

Here, the quality of the lamb rump does all the heavy lifting. Lightly blushing and beautifully tender, it cooked to perfection with a well-rendered fat cap, and sweet, grassy flavour. We think it would be particularly delicious with a little chimichurri on the side.

Score: 74/100

For something a little different, try Co-op's pork loin steaks in place of your go-to beef. They’re seasoned with a sweet and smoky sauce for a classic American-style BBQ flavour. Add a dollop of coleslaw and serve with sweetcorn ribs. Yee-haw!

Score: 73/100

A good value option this summer, these smoky Texas-inspired steaks were a little chewy, but retained a good level of moisture. Try them with potato salad and slaw for an authentic nod to the States.
