Pity its only 200g though. a full pound would be so much agreeable:)

Ordered some flank steak from my local TV celebrity butcher.
Will take a week to arrive but found out that's what he uses in his steak pieces

I actually never asked but Ethersons are reasonable on their meat.
The pieces are cheap enough so don't imagine the steak being any dearer.

I tried their fillets a few weeks ago. Cooked exactly the same at the same time, both medium, one was amazing, the other was inedible. Could cut one with a spoon, the other I couldn't chew. Both from the same pack!

Interesting. I've four well-used cast iron pans of various sizes that are just too heavy for me these days. A bit tempted - let us know what you think.

I got a cast iron griddle pan in Arnotts for half price the other day. It was 35 euros and seems very good.

A little more expensive than the Amazon one.

Went into Lidl at lunchtime and was slightly disappointed that the steaks were so small. A 202g steak is imo not enough for an adult but then 2 of them would be (slightly!) too much. It is still good value (€15/kg) but it's going to get messy at teatime with divvying up the extra ones I had to buy!

Am I just a fat/greedy bast*rd? Is a 202g steak enough for an adult??

Bandana boy · 05-11-2015 4:34pm

202 grm is ~ 7 ounces

It is more than the WHO state you should eat of red meat per day and about equivalent to what you get in most casual dining places (pub grub) but I would think it a little miserable for a dinner , I would usually look for a good 10oz steak for myself and My Mates

inforfun · 05-11-2015 4:39pm

Whenever i eat steak, i only have a salad next to it.
Just for the reason i can eat more steak then.

So 2 of those 202 gram ones will not be a problem. Just eat a little less salad.

Thargor · 05-11-2015 4:43pm

Or eat one and a half steaks and make a steak and onion sandwich with chips the day after...

Or a warm beef salad next day with plenty of red onions and a horseradish dressing.

Muahahaha · 05-11-2015 7:06pm

202g is a bit small but I'll still be getting some, Lidl rib eyes are excellent quality.

For anyone looking for cast iron pans TX Maxx usually have a good selection around €30-€40. Would recommend the Le Cruset brand if you can find it, I've mine about six years now and its a workhorse.

JONJO THE MISER · 05-11-2015 10:07pm

I usually eat the 2 pack Aldi ones.

beardybrewer · 06-11-2015 10:19am

Usually I stick with strip loin and treat myself with the odd fillet. I must say this thread inspired me to try a rib eye steak last week from Aldi (not a bargain, just wanted to try it). One of the best steaks I've ever had.

bajer101 · 09-11-2015 3:01am

Jaysus, those Lidl steaks are gorgeous. I bought a couple of the Striploins on sale the other day and they were great. They were then out of stock until today, so I picked up a couple of the rib eyes and four more striploins. Had the rib eyes for dinner and have just had a cheeky couple more of the striploins. Cooked them in the Tefal Actifry. Best way to cook steaks.

Cooking a steak in an actifry? This man should be removed from the Internet.

Cook a steak in an Actifry or an Airfryer and then come back to me.

Maybe if you can't cook, yes. In all other circumstances, no.

I can tell straight away by your dismissive and condescending attitude that number

1. You fancy yourself as a bit of a Gordon Ramsey and your goal in life is to get on come dine with me.

2. You have never actually had a steak cooked in an Airfryer.

Don't knock it till you try it.

martyos121 · 09-11-2015 10:24am

+1 on the Airfryer. Had it just once but I've never had a steak like it since, and by God I've tried.

bajer101 · 09-11-2015 10:41am

I've cooked steaks in both the airfryer and the actifry (with spindle removed) and they both give the same results. I tend to use the actifry due to the larger capacity which allows me to cook my current favourite meal which is:

Baby potatoes, boiled for 10 minutes and quartered and tossed in a bowl of olive oil, salt. pepper and garlic (optional).
Sliced onions and quartered mushrooms placed at the bottom of the actifry.
Steaks on top of this.
Potatoes on top of this.
Cook for 15 minutes. If you prefer your steak rarer, wait a few minutes before adding the steak.

I haven't cooked a steak in the airfryer yet but have done lamb chops and they were the nicest I've ever made myself. Can't wait to try a steak in it as I reckon I wont be using the pan again after the first time, you have no idea how well the airfryer works.

Thargor · 09-11-2015 11:44am

Love the Airfryer steak aswell, lovely slightly crispy fat, doesnt lose any moisture, lovely and tender. Lay the steak on a bed of thin sliced onions aswell and they'll come out nicely fried bordering on carmelised.

beardybrewer · 09-11-2015 12:51pm

Bah, if it tastes good that's the right answer.

Personally I like to see grill lines on my steak, but I more than make up for not frying with plenty of sautéed onions and mushrooms.

1) Not at all, however if you think one has to be. 'Gordon Ramsey' to make a decent steak, you are more middle class than I first thought.

2) nope I'll admit I haven't. If its not broke don't fix it. However ordered an air fryer there a week ago and due to arrive next week so will try one just to make you happy

No, not at all. But I suppose you've already got the chip(s) on your shoulder to go with your perfect steak...

I believe the idea of the thread was to make people aware of where steak was on offer - a bargain alert

Cook it whatever way you want

And you're calling me middle class,
fyi I don't regard being referred to as middle class as an insult.

I'll take middle class all day long over being as uneducated as you appear to be.
