It’s hard to get big cuts here. I remember going to the store for meat with TC. It was just a regular store, but all the block ready meat packs were available on the floor. Around here unless you have a meat cutter that you can can talk to about getting a decent price on block ready, don’t bother. The last time I wanted block ready the meat cutter want the same price per pound for block ready as cut meat. When the kids were all at home and there were seven of us for supper every night, we bought all out meat block ready. When I made a sirloin roast, it was the whole sirloin. I miss the old meat cutter, he retired. Big cuts are so much less money per pound or kilo.
Some of the vegetarian things are pretty decent things in their own right. the 'chicken' nuggets are decent. Some other meat replacements are good. Some are bad. It's a bit trial and error. We have tried the 'beyond meat' burgers and I found them excellent. I am willing to bet that if you put those in a bun with the normal relish and other condiments, half the people wouldn't know it's not real meat.
My youngest is interested in animal rights issues and I agree with her on that. Just because I eat meat doesn't mean I think animals shouldn't be treated properly. And so one time per week we eat vegetarian, give or take. Some of those things are pretty good actually but it is true that you should regard them in their own right and not compare them specifically to what they aim to replace.
Although one time I had vegetarian chicken with feta cheese, and my wife had finished hers and not noticed it wasn't actual chicken.

Some of the so called meat now a days has so much stuff added to it that the meat is just a filler anyway.
A vegi burger is not much different other than meat as a filler it uses some sort of vegetable material.
Again as a general rule I think that other than a little salt and black pepper good quality meat needs nothing added

I agree Shaun, we always get grass fed beef not just for the quality but also for health reasons. Can't beat free range eggs and raw grass fed milk either!
