Aldi’s huge £4.99 ‘Big Daddy’ steak is finally out in stores

The nearly half a kilo steak is available to buy today.

It's finally here. After days of waiting for it to arrive, Aldi's 'Big Daddy' 16oz steak has been shipped to stores up and down the country. The steak costs just £4.99 and the retailer claims it is 100g bigger and 42 per cent cheaper than its Tesco equivalent. And - judging from the response on social media - you're going to have to be fast if you want to get your hands on it. https://twitter.com/AldiUK/status/953587089433645056 https://twitter.com/MaryWright20/status/953727267162722304 https://twitter.com/mairigordon12/status/953921156154839040 If you're wondering why there's such a rush on the product, it's because it is being re-released as a 'Specialbuy' - meaning stock is limited and it has only been supplied to certain stores. Aldi's Julie Ashfield, Joint Managing Director of Corporate Buying at Aldi UK, said:  "This premium British rump steak is an example of Aldi's commitment to offering quality, locally-sourced products at amazing low prices, once again allowing customers to make substantial savings on luxury products without compromise." The rump is made up of several different muscles from the rear. It's a lean steak with a great mix of texture and rich flavours. It has the benefits of a fillet but with more flavour. It's best thick-cut and cooked over a very high heat, with a generous resting time up to 10 minutes. So what are you waiting for ?
