Celebrity Edinburgh chef Dean Banks offers locals chance to eat like A-listers

A luxury 24K gold steak meal kit is coming to Edinburgh this summer and marketing itself as an "affordable" alternative to celebrity touted restaurant experiences.

The kit designed and sold by Haar At Home founder Dean Banks will include a 1KG gold leaf covered tomahawk steak, seaweed roasted potatoes, green beans with crispy shallots and soy lime dressing, truffle jus and two dark chocolate fondants with dulce de leche and crème fraiche.

Banks claimed a gold-plated steak can cost up to £ 1500 in some restaurants. Charging £ 150 per meal kit, Banks is giving the public a chance to sample the ultimate high roller dish at home for a fraction of the price.

The gold leaf tomahawk became a top choice for the rich and famous after international butcher and restaurateur Nusret Gökçe, nicknamed Salt Bae, popularised the dish at Nusr - Et restaurant.

Salt Bae went viral online for his dramatic flair and skill with meat, and wealthy clients flocked to his London restaurant after it opened in 2021.

In a world first, premium gold steak can be delivered to your door for a tenth of the rate of faddy celeb restaurants.

Haar at Home’s website said the 24k steaks from grass fed Scottish cattle are dry aged for at least 28 days.

“The steaks have a unique, deep flavour from the ageing process, and the 24k gold leaf coating really adds a dazzling new element to this delightful hunk of beef,” the description said.

“We’ve all seen gold-wrapped steaks going viral all over the world, with hugely overpriced meals served up to celebs. I wanted to give people the chance to try that sort of dish at a more reasonable price, at home – and if you want to stick it on Insta you can salt it yourself,” said Banks.

“Our meat is excellent and all our ingredients and prep are world-class, so I’m confident you’ll get a better product, at a better price, in the comfort of your own home.
