How do you know it's not aged? And, if that bothers you, you could always leave it a month before eating it.

I've got this daft, but obvious point ....................... If you think it's better elsewhere why comment on and be disparaging to the original poster? This is after all a Morrisons topic and not everybody has a Lidl/Aldi where they live!
Thanks for the post, heat added.

Because their dry-aged steak is marketed differently.
How do you propose to join up the steaks into a single joint again? :neutral_face:
And do you own a drybag vacuum sealer?

Most certainly isn't, try a poor rump and a good ribeye.

How wrong you are. A good aged steak is soooo much more than your bog standard one. And the different cuts too! Wow! Try a Ribeye and tell me that's not better than rump. I pity you if you have not experienced the difference.

Just skimmed that article and here's an excerpt:
As soft as an old shammy leather – definitely has an unusually glossy, if not outrageously rich, mouthfeel. Beyond its beefy base, the flavour is complex, too, with red wine and tart yet honeyed fruit notes discernible.
Deary me... since when did steak-tasting aim to match wine-tasting in its use of ridiculous adjectives! If you're a steak snob, I would think you'd be getting your steak from some boutique butcher or source locally, not from a supermarket chain.
Personally, I think Aldi 30-day steak is amazing and definitely rivals proper steak house quality. Sophie's in Covent Garden is among the best IMO and the Aldi steaks are not far short of that quality.

Agree re the Aldi steak. That description "honeyed fruit notes discernible" lol - pretentious, oui?

Do you have to cook it or does it come cooked like in the picture?

How exactly do you propose to dry-age beef if it's cut and wrapped in plastic? :neutral_face:
