A Brit flew to Turkey and bought a meal from Salt Bea's restaurant for less than £95 - the average price of his steak in the UK.
Callum Ryan, 23, saw that the cheapest steak on offer at Salt Bae's UK restaurant was a thinly sliced wagyu striploin for £95.
He wondered if he could get it cheaper at the original restaurant in the same chain, based in Istanbul, Turkey.
He booked a flight from Luton Airport, London, to Istanbul, Turkey with Wizz Air - costing him £17.99.
Once he landed in Istanbul, Callum went to Salt Bae's Nsr-Et Steakhouse and ordered a New York steak, fries, chill sauce, coca cola and a dessert for £57.95.
In total, he spent £75.93 which is £19.07 cheaper than the price of a steak in Salt Bae's UK restaurant.
Callum, a content creator, from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, said: "The food was unreal, it was the best steak I have ever had.
"I will definitely be going back, the steak itself was worth it alone.
"I think I would rather take the trip to Istanbul if the food there is as good as the London restaurant to get a weekend out of it.
"I would be rushing to his UK restaurant in a hurry."
In May, Callum flew to Portugal and bought peri peri chicken all for less than £15 - cheaper than the cost of his usual Nando's order.
He also flew to Spain for a three day holiday for less than £100 all in.

Flight to Istanbul, Turkey, from Luton Airport, London - £17.99

00:00 I set myself the challenge to fly all the way to Salt Bae's original restaurant and buy a meal for cheaper than the price of a steak in the UK.
00:06 And well, this is how it went.
00:08 The goal was to spend less than the price of a steak in his UK restaurant, which usually costs around £95.
00:12 However, I managed to get a flight last minute for £17.99, so hopped on my flight and landed in Istanbul.
00:17 I then made my way to the famous restaurant and ordered the following meal.
00:20 The New York steak, fries, chilli sauce, and a Coca-Cola.
00:23 I also tried out the famous dessert and I was very impressed.
00:26 The food was unreal, honestly, the atmosphere was the 10/10 and I highly recommend you go and visit, but now it was time to pay the bill.
00:31 I went with a friend, but my meal on its own came to 2,370 Turkish Lira, which when converted is £57.94.
00:39 Which means we did it! We flew all the way to Salt Bae's original restaurant for cheaper than the price in the UK.
