British Wagyu steaks
Supermarket retailer Aldi is launching a range of 100% British Wagyu steaks across the UK.
Wagyu beef hails from Japan. It is characterised by its rich flavour and tender texture, provided by fat marbling in the meat.
Although regarded one of the most expensive cuts in the world, Aldi says its steaks start at £26.49 per kg, “a fraction of the cost of M&S British Wagyu Beef, which retails for upwards of £40 per kg”.
Four cuts will be available from 24 September: a sirloin steak (£28.49/kg), a rump steak (£26.49), a ribeye steak (£30.75/kg), and a fillet steak (£44/kg).
All of Aldi’s Wagyu beef is sourced from the largest producer of British Wagyu beef, Warrendale Farms, where the cows are reared for a minimum of 24 months. This, Aldi says, gives the beef its ‘distinctive marbling’ and ‘amazing taste’.
