Morrisons is set to drop a heavyweight showstopper just in time to celebrate Father’s Day this weekend – a giant Tomahawk steak with an average weight of over 1KG for just £15. The price drops even further to an unbelievable £12 if purchased on Saturday 20 June as part of Morrisons popular 20% Steak Saturday promo.
Bracing for unprecedented demand at its Market Street fresh meat counters nationwide, the supermarket has introduced a strict limit of just three per customer, helping to ensure as many dads as possible get to enjoy the popular joint on their big day.
The mega-meat joint lands in stores nationwide this Thursday 18 June, but with supplies strictly limited, families will need to sprint to the butcher’s counter before the premium beef joint sells out completely if they’re going to be in with a chance to grab one for Dad.
To promote the ultimate meaty launch, Morrisons has teamed up with its real-life legendary father-and-son butcher duo, David Mann (63) and Matthew Mann (37). Based at the Morrisons Cheadle Heath store, David has been masterfully wielding his cleaver since the age of 17, racking up 25 years of loyal service to the supermarket. Following directly in his dad's footsteps, Matthew joined him on the counter in 2005 through Morrisons butchery apprentice scheme.
David Mann, Morrisons Butcher, said: "As a father, there’s nothing quite like sharing a proper great meal with family. This 1kg Tomahawk is an absolute showstopper, and we're incredibly proud to help families across the country treat their dads to something truly special this weekend. Just make sure you grab yours early before they sell out!"
For those feeling intimidated on how to cook the monstrous beast, Morrisons butchers just like David and Matthew will be on hand to help. Up and down the country over 1,200 expert Market Street butchers will be standing ready to hand out cooking tips to ensure nervous cooks can serve Dad a steak that is perfectly pink on the inside, every single time or however he likes it.
Matthew Mann, Morrisons Butcher added: "A proper cut of meat like the Tomahawk can look intimidating to cook if you're nervous about getting it right, but it's actually incredibly rewarding. We’re on hand at the counter to give everyone the confidence they need to serve up the perfect cut."
For customers looking to get it right, the Cheadle Heath duo have shared their top two cooking methods for the perfect Tomahawk steak:
- The Slow Roast: Slow roast in the oven at 110°C for 45–60 minutes, depending on how well-done you prefer your steak.
- The Reverse Sear: Start in a frying pan or skillet on a medium heat for 5 minutes on each side, then turn the temperature to full heat to form a beautiful, crisp crust on the edges.
For steak fans looking for a slightly smaller plateful, Morrisons is also cutting the price of its premium British 8oz Sirloin Steak to better than half price, just £3.40 (from £7.26) for Thursday 18 and Friday 19 June. For customers shopping at the counter on Saturday, the price drops even further to £2.72 with the Steak Saturday 20% offer - making it the ultimate weekend for a budget-friendly carnivorous blowout.
Harriet Carr, Meat & Fish Trading Director at Morrisons commented: "We know how important it is for families to come together and celebrate special moments like Father's Day, but we also know that budgets are top of mind. That’s why we’re serving up good honest value on proper food, so our customers can treat their dads to a premium, spectacular meal without having to worry about breaking the bank."
The Tomahawk steak deal is available at Morrisons Market Street counters nationwide from this Thursday to Saturday only, while stocks last. Priced at £15 on Thursday 18 and Friday 19 June or just £12 on Saturday 20 June with Steak Saturday 20% offer.
