A beef tournedo is a “small filet of beef, usually cut from the tip of the tenderloin”. If you’re someone who enjoys steak, the Costco Dalisa Beef Tournedos might intrigue you. They’re ready-to-grill, bacon-wrapped, seasoned round steaks that come individually packaged. The price isn’t overly steep but does the taste make these worth buying? Find out below!
We went to Costco on the Friday before Father’s Day and it was really busy with everyone getting their last-minute barbecue items. We were hosting my mom and dad so we picked up these Costco Dalisa Beef Tournedos. Both Sean and I enjoy bacon-wrapped filet but weren’t sure if these would be nearly as good because they’re made of round steak.
Some other kinds of meat from Costco that are ready for the grill are the Costco Belmont Meats Bison Burgers, Costco Beyond Meat Beyond Burgers, Costco Kirkland Signature Beef Polish Sausages, Costco Kirkland Signature Lean Sirloin Beef Patties, Costco Kirkland Signature All Beef Wieners and the Costco Kirkland Signature Stuffed Salmon.
Location in Store
The beef tournedos are in the fresh deli section at Costco, near the other steaks.
Taste
The first thing I notice about these steaks from Costco is that I don’t love the seasoning used. At home, I just sprinkle a bit of Hys seasoning salt on my steaks. I found the seasoning a bit too sweet, it tastes like teriyaki to me and has a very strong flavor! The strength of the flavor makes me believe the steaks had to be marinaded.
The steak seems a little tough but I don’t notice a lot of fat and gristle in the beef tournedos. These are good, not great. I highly recommend you don’t add extra seasoning to they’re already full of flavor. Some individuals may like the seasoning used but I prefer my Hys.
Cost
The price is actually very reasonable for bacon-wrapped steak. $37.11 Canadian for eight steaks. It is a cheaper cut, round steak instead of the filet we usually have with bacon.
Convenience
Each steak is individually wrapped so these are actually perfect for a one or two-person household or get-together. You can easily freeze any extra steaks in their packaging and the best before date was about six days from the date we purchased them. Because the steaks are already seasoned and bacon-wrapped the only work involved is cooking them.
One thing we all noticed was how well the bacon stays attached to the round steak. Usually, we use toothpicks and it can be difficult for the steak to stay on. With these, the bacon is attached without any toothpicks and just stayed together perfectly before and after grilling.
To prepare the steaks you can grill them or cook them in a cast-iron skillet. We barbecued them and it was easy to achieve a medium-well cook on them.
Nutrition
Calories
One steak is 260 calories, 11 grams of fat, three grams of carbohydrates, zero grams of fibre, one gram of sugar, 37 grams of protein and 540 mg of sodium. The amount of fat per tournedo isn’t as much as I expected and I already knew they’d be high in sodium due to how much they’re seasoned.
Ingredients
The ingredients list is straightforward, bacon, beef and seasoning and canola oil. Costco Dalisa Beef Tournedos are gluten-free as well as dairy-free and I believe keto-friendly. I know that people have differing opinions on whether beef and bacon is really unhealthy, we enjoy both in our house but not all the time.

I wouldn’t buy these again, I like seasoning my own steak and did not like the seasoning on these. These aren’t overpriced but for a similar cost I could buy the strip loin from Costco.
If you tried these, let me know what you thought!

neighbour dropped some of these off and we cooked them over the charcoal. Very nice. Will definitely buy them ourselves. Great portion size
The beef looks so delicious. This beef is perfect to make burger patties. I want to try this beef tournedos. Thanks for the amazing review.
My wife and I never seen them before at Costco, and decided to try. And omg they are awesome. We bbq them and couldn’t be happier. Definitely one is enough. Great flavor, spice definitely buy again. The individual packs are great as well.
I like these. Flavor is good, portions are good, especially when trying to diet because it’s the right amount of protein and small serving for working out, training and weight loss. Nice with salad or brown rice. Bbqd them. Would like to try the air fryer method next time.
The texture was WRONG. It was almost closer to a processed ham than a real steak. My bad for not paying attention.
We cooked on the BBQ till about 131 on meat probe. They were med. rare. Let sit a couple minutes after removing from grill. These I will definitely buy again.. In fact going back to Costco to buy another package today
I initially bought these cause I didn’t read the label thoroughly and I thought they were bacon wrapped fillet mignon and I snatched them up! I almost took them back but then thought I’d try them. I googled on how to cook them and decided to sear them in butter and minced garlic and then put them on the bbq and cooked them to medium rare. They were ‘ok’ but I wouldn’t buy them again. I only cooked 3 and will see if I can find someone who will take the remaining 5 off. my hands.
Definitely a ‘walk on by’ for me as was stated above.
Has anyone tried cooking these with the ninja air fryer combo grill machine? We will try them on the barbecue soon.
We cooked ours in an air-fryer, not the Ninja. I liked them. Thought they were tasty and quick to cook.
I bought these this past weekend. They were so delicious. I liked that they were individually packaged. The seasonings are great. Would definitely buy them again. I picked mine up for $33.00 for 8.
Glad to hear you liked them!
And sometimes family members are happy to be part of the experiment! Natalie has mentioned her family trying out new items with her in previous reviews. Plus something like this is generally too much for only 2 people. Personally, I’m game to be a guinea pig. If something doesn’t work out, it’s not a big deal. Worse comes to worse, I can eat more later at home…or a drive through! 😎
Sorry you dislike your in-laws! ☹️
Thanks for reviewing. Usually marinated meat needs to be done this way to hide something. A pet peeve of mine is inviting guests to a household or (back in the pre-covid) potluck days and have them be guinea pigs. Maybe it’s just me, I’ll never serve something I haven’t tried or made before, even if it’s my family (including in-laws I dislike).
