    The €9 striploins are 8oz as opposed to the 10oz for €11.99. Great steak though.

    Their marketing/ad people aren't as good as Aldi's

    just cannot understand the link between valentines day and steak.

    I mean, if you are cooking for her (generalising I know), surely you would put a bit of effort into making something really nice? All the valentines ads from dunnes/aldi etc. are pushing it.

    We're better than this!

    I used to swear by Aldi striploins until I discovered Tesco 4 x Striploins for €12.. sometimes can get them for €10 reduced - nicest steaks I have had in a long time.

    Also, two very nice looking (marbled) beef medallions for 4 euros.

    are the steaks frozen?
    how do you cook ostrich, does it need to be slow cooked?

    I see both ALDI and LIDL have specials on "flat iron" steaks this week.

    ALDI from Thursday 27th April have 25 day matured 300g flat iron steak for €4.
    LIDL running Wednesday - Friday have a Hereford 300g flat iron steak for €3.

    Worth a punt? Have never had that cut of steak before, ALDI have a recipe which suggests it's one to braise then casserole\slow cook rather than just fry quickly?

    I use those at times in Asian stir fry's
    Slice it as thin as possible, put them in cornflour (that will keep the meat juicy) and stir fry them for a minute or so.

    Something like this
