Beefed-up flavour

“Better than FXB’s, and even better than Casanis

“Better than FXB’s, and even better than Casanis.” Praise indeed for Aldi’s Specially Selected Irish Angus fillet steaks, which according to my beef-loving 15-year-old trumped even his Irish favourite, as well as the bistro we visit occasionally for steak frites and sauce Bearnaise.

Aldi’s 14-day maturation on the bone, and an extra-thick cut, made for a tender, flavoursome steak, at a good price – €12.99 for two generous-sized steaks (400g). Aldi’s Specially Selected Irish Angus range also includes burgers stuffed with Dubliner cheese (€2.59 for two; 280g).
