Morrisons Southport on Winter Gardens is to stock one of the world’s most luxurious and expensive cuts of steak – the Chateaubriand – but for a quarter of the price of steak houses.

The supermarket has announced that the 15oz cut – perfect for two – will be hitting the shelves just in time for Valentine’s Day, priced at a wallet-friendly £15. To serve two in a restaurant, the same cut of steak will set diners back a whopping £59.75.* Waitrose also offers the Chateaubriand for two at £29.99.

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.

Simon Reading, Store Manager at Morrisons Southport 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.”
