Rib Eye Steak - where to get Northside Dublin

looperman1000

Preferably in the Drumcondra, Santry, Phibsborough, Glasnevin, Ballymun, Finglas area? Can anyone suggest please?
I was going to go with Aldi vacuum packed €11.99 specially selected Rib Eye's but someone told me you are better off going to a butchers than getting them from there. Someone else also told me that the Aldi ones are really good.
What are your thoughts guys, Aldi ones or butcher, if butcher which one near to the locations i have said.

Many thanks!

I've had the Aldi one before. Nothing wrong with it. Really nice and tender.

any well established old butcher will cut you nice locally produced rib-eyes.

Aldi's are all Irish produced, by the way. And damn tasty.

Aldi all the way, and if you know how to cook a steak you'll owe him a pint!.

Because of the fat ribeyes work best cooking outside on the BBQ , IMO.

Still would not buy meat in Aldi/Lidl or any supermarket to that matter. I want my steaks freshly cut in front of me by a butcher who stand over and sources his meat from a farm down the road.

Sirloin ain't great as a tender steak for her, get her the Aldi Fillet if she's worth it and yourself the Rib eye.
By the way the Aldi rib eye works out at about €26/kilo, shop around, I get mine for €15/kilo and can get them in man size, 8oz is for the ladies.

Butchers on Church Road in East Wall, bit out of your way but they'll cut you a huge slap of Rib Eye for a fiver.

Any decent traditional family butchers will be cheaper and fresher than any supermarket.I don't understand people who buy meat in supermarkets, Butchers are nearly always cheaper!

Midland meats in clearwater are good for meat

Indeed Paddy's top notch but as for family butcher's being cheaper? It's as maybe but as for the meat being "fresher"? Well that just doesn't make sense as meat is hung for a few weeks. Longer the better for me.

I go to Branagan's in Rosemount B.P Blanchardstown a few times a year, they have great meat at wholesale prices, like I said rib eye at €15/kilo, 12oz at a fiver a go.

Most butchers will give you a discount or a little extra for nothing if you shop there regularly. Many times i've gone into the butchers, bought some pork chops, chicken breasts and lambs liver only to have my 11.10 price knocked down to a square 10.00 and a couple of homemade burgers thrown on top.

You don't get that in a supermarket!
