Sorry. It was 2 for 4 bux. Im still not well, be kind for a week or so. I hate run afoul of the RFDL(Roadfood defense league).
The normal price is 2/$7 and the do a sale at the end of the month. it might be because they are going out of date. Could make a difference in flavor but shouldnt affect the tenderness.

We have gottent them occassionally for years and they were always at least acceptable. this is the second time in a row Ive had a problem.
i used yo really enjoy the "filet of sirlion" at Aldi. tey were almost fork tender. I would just sear them so they were almost Black and Blue. the last few times they had a new brand and they were cut differently with a large piece if sliner skin in the middle. The used to use a ball tip. Its now some designer Chuck clone.

I have had much better experiences with the Ledbetter filets. Maybe it is the cooking method.
I sear them quickly in a very hot black iron skillet and cook until barely not raw.
Remove, deglaze the pan with red wine, butter and worchestershire. Pour over the filets.
I have not had a problem with toughness.

The bigger grocers in my area sell these. Its a 6oz filet wrapped in bacon and cryovaced. They also offer a erzats version-a bacon wrapped chuck tender. Tonite we had what was supposed to be the real deal(or so the label said). The meat was tough and chewy. i couldnt believe it as we have had them before. Not awesome but worthwhile when on sale for 2/$1. The one I had tonite was almost like chewing buble gum!
