Steak proves the most popular beef dish, particularly amongst youngsters
Ahead of Great British Beef Week from 23rd April to 3rd May, a survey conducted by YouGov to find Britain’s favourite beef dish has revealed steak as the overall winner (29%), followed by roast beef (23%) and spaghetti bolognese (14%).
Roast beef remains the favourite beef dish for those aged 55 and over.
The results also showed that it was particularly the younger generation, aged between 18 and 24, who preferred steak, with three times more respondents choosing it versus a roast. In comparison, those aged 55 and over preferred a traditional beef roast (34%) to steak (27%).
Spaghetti bolognese also proved more popular with the younger generation with 23% choosing it as their preferred option, compared to just 8% of those aged 55 and over.
Ladies in Beef co-founder, Jilly Greed, said: “Eating habits have clearly changed over recent years, with younger consumers favouring more cosmopolitan-style dishes.”
She added: “It is also encouraging to note that seven out of 10 respondents prefer to buy British beef (69%), recognising the fantastic job the British beef farmers do in producing quality meat.”
