Tesco has today launched Finest Steakhouse, a dedicated fixture in the meat aisle of over 150 stores, helping customers to recreate the luxury steakhouse experience at home. Large stores the length and breadth of England and Wales will see the introduction of an enticing display which will bring together delicious single steaks, sharing steaks, alternative mains, a range of tempting sides as well as steak sauces and steak butters – 23 of them brand new products on sale to Tesco customers for the first time.

With many customers still watching their budgets, the ever-growing Finest range is a cost-effective way of treating themselves at home instead of eating out. The Finest Steakhouse concept helps deliver a special dining occasion with restaurant-quality steak to wow loved ones or guests – or simply treat yourself to a delicious night in.

Highlights among the new steaks on offer include indulgent premium cut sharing steaks, such as T-bone, bone-in sirloin, Flat Iron and Cote du Boeuf, while the single steaks include salt aged rump, sirloin, ribeye and thick cut fillet.

The steaks are all British Aberdeen Angus and dry aged for up to 35 days for maximum tenderness. They are hand-trimmed by expert butchers, highlighting the importance of Tesco’s aim to celebrate the best of British meat and butchery. There are plenty of other options on the menu for those who aren’t in the mood for a steak and the Finest Steakhouse is no exception, with alternative mains including Wagyu burgers, duck breast supremes, slow cooked Ossobuco, pork belly and smoky beef ribs.

Meanwhile, there are premium sides which include triple cooked chips, rarebit dauphinoise potatoes and truffle mac & cheese, plus a range of delicious steak sauces and steak butters to elevate your meals – such as truffle butter with cracked black pepper.

Tesco Group Brand Director, Matt Kay, said: “Our customers love finding ways to treat themselves at home and Tesco Finest showcases our best quality ingredients, pulled together by our expert teams and suppliers to create something truly special. I am excited that we are adding the new Finest Steakhouse to the range, inspired by the gourmet steakhouse experience. It has something for anyone who wants to recreate a restaurant-quality meal at home, from sharing and single serve Aberdeen Angus steaks and alternative mains alongside indulgent sides, sauces and butters. And we've even included wine pairings, chef’s tips and detailed cooking instructions on the packaging so even a cooking novice can get the best results."
