I find it quite tough when frying, but great for slow cooking dishes like steak and ale/casseroles etc.

i personally find it a bit too tough in stir fries. It's great done in the slow cooker though. I leave it in biggish pieces, bung in a bay leaf, a chopped onion, mushrooms, stock cube or red wine (or both depending on how much wine I have) and a bit of worcester sauce. I always do a couple of packs at a time, then freeze half of it.

Most people don't cook steaks properly. You are supposed to cook it for about 30 seconds on either side on a very high heat in a pan/griddle, to seal/char the outside , then pop it in high oven for a few minutes depending on how you like it, before resting it for at least the amout of time it was cooking. Many chefs will put a large knob of butter on it, to soak in whilst resting.

This is a lot of mucking around and I suspect most people will just pan fry and then put it on a plate.

I've always managed to cook delicious tender steaks on a griddle without using the oven. Though I do agree about resting it. Howver you are never going to be able to make a cheap tough bit of meat into fillet steak no matter how you cook it.

I'll prob give these a miss as I have plenty of brasiing steak in the freezer already

I have never had any problems with the frying steak from Lidl and was looking forward to stocking up my freezer this morning.
Only trouble being that it was chicken kiev that was on offer here in Fife
