UK’s most popular steak for Valentine’s

Chateaubriand steak is searched for on Google twice as much per month as fillet steak in the run-up to Valentine’s Day, Swaledale Butchers reveal.   

Google search data from 2022 reveals changes in the UK’s steak-eating habits, as sharing steaks now make up 2 of the top 3 searched-for steaks in the UK. Larger sharing steaks, some with a bone-in, are now 4 times more popular than they were a decade ago. This change in eating habits can be attributed to the UK population valuing more awe-inspiring steak cuts that can be shared on special occasions.
