Taste

This Costco Kirkland Signature Cooked Seasoned Roast Beef was a pleasant surprise. It’s tender, well seasoned, not too salty and best of all doesn’t taste overly processed. I used it to make sandwiches which were delicious. The slices are also cut nice and thin and the meat is very soft so it’s easy to chew and not tough. There are a few spots of fat on the meat but I think that’s normal for roast beef.

Cost

You get two separate 400 g packs for the regular price of $17.99 Canadian! I thought this was a little expensive but I guess beef is generally a little bit more expensive and this is real deal roast beef, not super processed thin stuff.

Convenience

The best before date is less than a month from when I purchased it. Once opened I find the pack stays fresh for about five days to a week. If you’re not going to use it up before the best before date I recommend freezing it. This could be used to make sandwiches, in soup, to eat alone or even a very convenient way to make open faced hot roast beef sandwiches with gravy!

Nutrition

Three slices of beef is 90 calories, three and a half grams of fat, 440 mg of sodium, one gram of carbohydrates, one gram of sugar, 14 grams of protein. The calories are low, the fat isn’t high and the protein is high. The sodium is definitely quite a bit for three slices! I also appreciate the short ingredients list! No nitrates, no gluten and preservative-free.

I would definitely repurchase this again if I found myself craving roast beef. You get quite a bit of roast for $17.99 Canadian and it’s also pretty tasty!

  1. Been looking for it at the Costco we go to for the past 1-2 months and have not seen it in stock. Its the only one my father and I like. And am not going to buy that triple pack with the chicken and ham just to get the roast beef. What gives?

  2. Bought this for the first time and I’m looking for the best way to heat. That is obviously missing from the packaging.

    • I would microwave it on low for just a few seconds if I’m short on time or make a gravy in a pot and throw it in and simmer on low if I wanted something like hot roast beef sandwiches.

  3. We have been very disappointed lately with the quality of this roast beef. We had been buying it for years, but recently the meat is too tough and not as tasty.

  4. Your Kirkland signature sliced roast beef. I haven’t been able to find it in your Centerville, Ohio store or in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Have you discontinued it?

  5. Terrible vinegar taste. How can one claim no preservatives when laced with vinegar. It used to be better but now inedible.
