Morrisons to sell luxury Chateaubriand steak for £15 – a quarter of the restaurant price
The luxury steak costs which costs £15 would set diners back £60 in a posh restaurant
MORRISONS is to sell one of the world’s most luxurious and expensive cuts of steak - for a quarter of the price you’d pay in a top restaurant.
The supermarket has announced that the 15oz cut - perfect for serving two people - will be hitting shelves from today as part of a Valentine’s Day promotion, costing just £15.
It claims that a similar cut of meat in a posh restaurant would set diners back a whopping £60 - nearly 300 per cent more than the supermarket offer.
Waitrose also sells a Chateaubriand of a similar size for £29.99, while Tesco sells a slightly bigger cut of meat for £24.75.

Cut from the thickest part of the beef fillet, the Chateaubriand is widely regarded as being the finest cut of beef.
It has a subtle flavour and is prepared by flash frying it on both sides and then finishing it off in the oven.
Morrisons butchery expert, Paul Robinson said: “Our Chateaubriand will offer loved up couples this Valentine’s Day an indulgent dining experience.
“We know that couples can end up forking out a small fortune to dine out on February 14th so want our customers to experience luxury at an affordable price.”
Morrisons 21 Day Matured British Beef Chateaubriand steak (450g) will be available pre-packed from Morrisons Market Street butcher shelves UK-wide at £15 from today.
