The Great British Steak Out                 

Try out our juicy steak recipes for National Steak Week!

Clear some space in the freezer, dust off the fancy steak knives and clear your calendar for the rest of the week – it’s time for us to celebrate Beefeater’s National Steak Week. Launched to celebrate the 35th Birthday of Beefeater, National Steak Week is about encouraging people to enjoy steak, try varieties of steak they might not have tasted before and share steak meals with family and friends. Whether it’s a juicy rump, a tender sirloin or a meaty rib-eye, Brits will be piling the cuts high on plates in celebration of what is arguably the nation’s favourite dish.

Derived from the ancient Saxon word ‘steak’, the definition has evolved from its original meaning of simply ‘meat on a stick’. It's fabled that Henry VIII, king of England, was so impressed with the meat that he dubbed it ‘Sir Loin’.

There’s nothing nicer than a fantastically cooked piece of beef with the perfect saucy accompaniment, so here are a few delicious recipes that should tantalise your taste bud .
