Sainsbury’s is selling 23 carat GOLD LEAF to top steaks… so would YOU try it?
SAINSBURY'S is now selling steaks embellished with gold leaf - but there's a catch.
The edible bling costs just £3, but you have to buy your steak separately.
Sainsbury's are launching a new range of Taste the Difference cuts of meat for the occasion and shoppers can opt for the (£3.50), British Picanha Steak (£5.00), Bone in Sirloin Steak (£20 to be shared between two) or Bone in Ribeye Steak (£22 to be shared between two).
The gold leaf trend was launched in America's pricey Silicon Valley - and Sainsbury's hope to recreate the same premium look for a much more affordable price.
Product developer Rebecca Deeley said: “Applying our edible gold leaf over a perfectly seared and succulent steak can quickly transform a classic evening meal into something truly sensational!”

A spokesman added that steak has taken the "centre stage" on social media, with Instagram stars like Nusret Gökçe - aka Salt Bae - racking up 9 million followers.
In related news, Marks & Spencer is selling a £35 meat box, and it’s actually an amazing deal.
