Steak World Records: Metres, Ounces and an Airport Line

How big can a steak actually get before it lands on a plate, and how long is the longest one on record? We pulled a few numbers from the record books and from big US steakhouse menus - good material for table talk.

The world’s longest steak runs 27.68 metres

The Guinness record for longest steak belongs to France. Jean-Yves Renard and a group of butchers produced a steak measuring 27.68 metres long in Evron on 14 May 2002 - see the Guinness World Records entry. It’s stood untouched for over two decades.

200 ounces on a single plate

The biggest steak you can actually order in a restaurant comes from The Kestrel Inn in Hatton, Derbyshire. It’s a 200-ounce rump steak that takes roughly 40 minutes to cook medium-well and costs £98. That’s close to 5.7 kg of beef on one plate.

Chain steakhouses keep raising the bar

US chains like comparing tomahawk sizes. Fleming’s largest steak is its 35-ounce Prime Tomahawk, sourced directly from partner farms, while Morton’s largest option is its 36-ounce Tomahawk Ribeye. Steak 48 tops them all - its Bone-In Wagyu Tomahawk, made from Snake River Farms beef, weighs a whopping 46 ounces, almost 3 pounds, according to Food Republic.

Philadelphia sets a cheesesteak line record

On March 24, 2026, Philadelphia’s airport took things into its own hands. The team put together a record-setting line of 1,291 cheesesteaks, using 225 pounds of cheese sauce, 990 pounds of shaved ribeye and over 1,200 foot-long rolls, as PHL’s own newsroom reports. The record landed right on National Cheesesteak Day.
