      Having tried recipes using it several times, I've come to the conclusion people who say they actually LIKE balsamic vinegar in anything are either lying, or have damaged tastebuds. ;-p

      Seriously, what am I doing wrong - every recipe with it just tastes awful. Is it supposed to taste bad?

      I'm theoretically vegan. In practice, well that's a different story altogether.

    Obligatory "haha it look like dik"

    But for real, can anyone comment on how well this cut is suited for making char siu (BBQ pork)? Is there enough fat?

    • +3

      Terrible. Ultra lean. Stick with belly.

      • +1

        Saw a recipe that said to use pork neck. I thought that looks more like the kind you buy from restaurants, rather than using belly?

    • Hot and fast. It's too lean for anything else.

    i don't really like aldi meat

    • Pssst. It comes from the same abattoirs as other Australian sourced meat.

  • Fresh meat !

  • Definitely a very good price for a supermarket, but note that you can find pork fillet at the Vic Market for as low as $12 or $13/kg (I've even gotten 2 kg for $20 once). Am unable to compare the quality.

    • Set up a stall near Aldi then and sell your own

  • Good stuff, the Ironbark!

    Excellent deal, look up pork tenderloin recipes if you can't find any, it's the same cut (different name). Really easy to cook and super tender.

    Love all the jokes about what this resembles, it's obvious who the teenagers are that live at home with sore hands from using "the internet" too much.

    • Why would teenagers living at home be an insult?

      (I think it's far from obvious, given the Bvlgari Man Wood competition has zero childish comments.)

    • Ooh, looks like we touched a nerve. Did mummy make you wear mittens?

      • boxing gloves

        • Must be where the expression “pounding the meat” came from.

  • Based on these comments I'm guessing I'm the only one that had the first thought of - is that a backstrap or tenderloin?

  • Somebody at Aldi is packing meat.

  • At this price, Aldi did just beat the meat from the other stores

    Australian Made - a lot of their stuff isn't.

    The dick/dildo jokes are quite lame people and reflect sadly on your own psyche. Get real.

    Easy, super tasty, & moist recipe:

    Buy as many slices of *streaky bacon as the slices you'll get from the pork loin (usually 6-8, depending on width of bacon strip). *Must use streaky bacon.

    Pan fry the bacon slices, only on one side. Drain on paper towels whilst prepping the rest.

    While they're frying, slice the pork fillet to the thickness of the bacon width. Coat with onion, garlic, and paprika (and any other spices you favour).

    Wrap one slice of bacon, raw side facing outwards, around each medallion & tie with kitchen twine. Add a bit of olive oil to the bacon pan and fry the medallions, on their bacon sides- rotating them to cook each side (about 1-2 mins per turn) until the bacon slice is cooked. Then, lay the medallion on each face side for about 30 secs to a minute. Remove to a plate and cover with foil to rest.

    Sauce:

    Add butter and a bit of olive oil (to prevent burning) to the bacon pan, and add in finely chopped onion or shallots (better with shallots) and saute on low for a few minutes until they start to soften. Add a tablespoon of flour, some minced garlic, salt & pepper to soak up the butter. Add 1/2 cup water with a splash of Worcestershire sauce & stir until it thickens. Be sure to scrape up all of the burnt bits as it adds flavour! Taste & adjust salt/pepper.

    Pour sauce over pork before serving. It's insanely good. I know it sounds like a lot reading this, but it's honestly very quick once you make it one time. I can cook this up in about 15 mins now & it's always fantastic.

    :)

  • Anyone tried dry age meat at home? Just curious…
