I would wonder had the Aldi fans ever had much steak in their lives? Before Aldi arrived.

I have. I've tried loads of butchers, they can be very hit and miss. And the Aldi steaks are consistantly good and I don't bother going anywhere else now.

+1.

I buy either the ribeye or the striploin every week. Definitely an odd item amongst all the cheap Aldi stuff but no steaks anywhere else beat them.

Plus they're Irish meat.

Some of us can afford to buy Superquinn and M&S but actually like the stuff that Aldi sells.

When I see the proportion of non-Irish customers when I shop in either Aldi or Lidl, I just think we're very lazy consumers.

Their steaks are a gem though.

Had 2 of the fillet steaks from Aldi today, great steaks but like all fillet steaks a bit tasteless, should of went for the sirloin

Well you know that they're at least packaged in Ireland, where the meat comes from thats debatable.

Eh. It's not debatable. The meat is traceable.

Theres quite a few other Gems in Aldi:

Try the Cashel Blue cheese, its incredible. As is the whiskey and the O'Haras ale & stout

Meat (especially beef) can vary widely in quality.

I googled a few butcher sites there and €45/kg seems about right for Fillet Steak unless of course you go for the mass processed stuff of the big supermarkets.

The best spec I found was:

And it works out at €45.56 when you do the conversion
