Another Flybuy member price deal that works out to be a reasonable deal. I’ve only noticed these member price deals come up recently. More member deals here: https://www.coles.com.au/offers/flybuys I’m yet to see how these deals apply in practice as I shop in store
The Chobani yoghurt, Sealord fish fillets and Garlic and herb schnitzels seem to be some of the better deals.
Flybuys member price - $5 off the marked price until 14 Mar 2023.
$18 in SA
Even better! The $5 is off the marked price I believe. So it’s $13 for 480g or $27/kg
and Vic.
just paid 21-5=$16 in vic :(
Online or in-store?
I would have thought both. I imagine the discount will apply at checkout.
Dinner for my dog sorted. I will instead be dining to instant Mi Goreng.
You hurt my feelings! ;_;
online the pricing is expensive —- $43.75 per 1kg
Yes, it is. And then it gets cheaper once you apply the $5 discount for flybuys members.
Meat prices have gone up in general, so now you need a discount to get what would have been a normal price pre COVID and inflation.
Coles Beef Scotch Steak Fillet 2 Pack | 480g
$21.00
$43.75 per 1kg
so even at $5 off its not cheap the local butcher grain fed scotch fillet- really good quality is $38/kg and i know coles scotch isnt that great at all..i dont class this as a bargain
or am i missing something…
The marked price is $21. There is $5 off the marked price for Flybuy members which works out to be $16 for 480g ie $33/kg. As it’s packed by weight if you got a 400g pack it would be about $30/kg.
Presumably the discount applies at payment. I don’t do my grocery shop online so I haven’t checked but will see what happens in store later today.
@Mario g: I guess it could be $5 off per kilo, but I think it’s per pack as it says ‘marked price’. Im sure someone will update here once they’ve purchased. It’s still not an amazing price, and like you say scotch isn’t my favourite. I usually get eye fillet in smaller quantities but noticed hubby was still hungry and made a second batch of sweet potato when we had had eye fillet last night, so maybe this is good for those who want a bit more without paying exorbitant prices. Rump is cheaper, but I think many prefer a scotch fillet.
@morse: just did it online - its -$5 off the price so its $30-33kg which is cheap for scotch fillet
Your trolley (10 items) $210.00
Discount -$50.00
Click&Collect fee $0.00
Total (with GST) $160.00

How does this work in-store? Just scan your flybuys card and the discount will be applied automatically?
I think so, I haven’t tested yet. Hoping someone will try it today and post an update if not I’m going after work and will update.
Bought one in-store, discount applied after scan flybuys card
Yep same here
Beef price keep rising in the last year or two in comparison with chicken / pork.
As a cattle farmer this is good for me lol. Though I’d never pay the prices supermarkets are asking
What would you suggest to avoid middle man surcharges ? Thanx.
Adopt a cow
I thought with so many people taking up veganism/vegetarian, beef would be cheaper with lesser demand, no ???
Running out of grass for cattle due to new vegan/vegetarian.
Haha you mean we sre competing with cattles for grass ?? 😂
Most people taking up veganism only last a few weeks/months before realising a balanced diet is the way to go.
Just prior to WuHu flu, scotch fillet was $32 a kilo in coles and woolies. As for demand. I heard a senior person from some beef or farmers association on the radio a couple of weeks ago talking about prices. He said prices were high not because of drought or Ukraine or any other reason. The real reason was that we export 75% of what we produce. Just wait until China starts buying again. Wine, lobster, beef prices will go through the roof. And they will buy all the good quality produce leaving us with the overpriced second rate stuff. Great isn’t it. All those free trade deals.

Any recommended easy cooking recipes?
Never successful with steak, so end up always go to clubs and pubs for a feed, the costs add up quickly.
Score your steak (putting parallel knife cuts on the meat on both sides but don't cut too deep), heat up your pan, throw a small block of butter, steak in pan, crack some salt and pepper, flip, cook, serve with lightly seasoned oven grilled veggies.
Duration on each side of the meat depends on the thickness and how you like it cooked. There are Google guides on how to feel the steak texture similar to your flesh on your palm under the thumb.
That's the most simple way. If you want to take an extra step, season your steak with salt, pepper, and soy sauce overnight in the fridge.
Steak by itself taste nice if you get a good sear (the point where you start getting dark brown colours on the meat from heating each sides for a long period of time but not so much that it's burnt) on it. Doesn't require much seasoning.
I disagree about the butter. You want the pan nice and hot and if the steak is going to take, say, 4 mins per side (if it's about an inch thick from my experience), that's 8 mins for the butter to burn. I would suggest a light coating of a cooking oil and then add butter in the last minute or so of cooking (if using, it is optional tbh).
I do seasoning first before it goes in the pan, but don't need to marinate it overnight and personally would just do salt/pepper/garlic powder and ditch the soy sauce.
Also don't forget to rest the steak for half as long as its total cook time at least!
Note these are just my suggestions for like very beginner level if they are prone to stuffing it up. Trying to remove the variables that are most likely to go wrong!
I would never score a good steak, that just seems like a really bad idea.
Butter goes in towards the end, for basting, with garlic and thyme or rosemary
The pan doesn't necessarily need to be smoking hot, it depends on a few factors, medium high /high heat is better.
Much easier to use a thermometer for begginers, depending on doneness, most of the time I remove at 125F/51.6c
Sometimes i put a teaspoon of crushed garlic and tablespoon of soy sause in a saucer and marinate the steak on both sides before pan frying. Or you can add salt and pepper before putting in frypan. Hard to cook thin steaks without going well done. I like medium well which is best done with 15-25mm steaks
How do you like your steak done? Don't score it unless you like well done.
Season with salt, pepper & garlic. Thyme and rosemary are also nice. Overnight in soy sauce will overpower the flavour and waste a decent steak.
Sous vide finished in cast iron pan is easy for consistent doneness if you have the gear.
Seared in a hot heavy pan works well but you'll need to experiment with timing to get it done to your liking.
Reverse sear is great for a really crunchy crust but again will need to experiment with timing. Doesn't work well for thin steaks.
Cooking over coals is my favourite. Bed of coals from burning timber is best but not always possible, lump charcoal next but briquettes work just as well.
I recently picked up a big scotch fillet and cut a 2" steak that weighs 1kg. Seasoned it with salt, pepper and garlic powder yesterday and have left it uncovered in the fridge to cook tonight. Will take it out about 45min before cooking either start it in a 55⁰C oven for an hour or two before finishing over charcoal or just cook over charcoal for about 15min turning every 30-60sec for rare to medium rare.
Years ago I used to get cheap eye fillet, marinate in worcestershire, soy, garlic and chilli. Everyone loved it but it doesn't taste like steak.
Thanks all, will have to give it a go. This special comes at the right time.
Sous vide and then sear on cast iron or carbon steel. Impossible to mess up
My wife can mess it up 😫
$21/kg of Killroy (?) porterhouse steak at IGA.
Thanks OP. I just got pack of scotch fillet for free because it's still scanned for $21 at checkout :)
😮Nice one!
What's the process/policy here?
I'm pretty sure I just bought something that was supposed that was supposed to be discounted $1, can I go back and get the amount refunded?
I'm pretty sure these are not sold by weight. I bought a pack of these like two weeks ago and they were all $18 flat.
Yes you’re right - they are not sold by weight they are all the same weight - have updated accordingly.
Coles own brand also sell 4 pack scotch fillet under the name of Drovers Choice. Everyday price of $30p/kg
https://shop.coles.com.au/a/national/product/droves-choice-b…
ALDI also sell a 4 pack at $28/kg. They're pretty good and I prefer the way they're packed over the Drovers Choice ones.
paid 21 - 5 =$16 in vic
Wish they would again discount the Coles Finest aged scotch fillet.
