A beefsteak is a type of banquet in which sliced beef tenderloin is served to diners as all-you-can-eat finger food. The dining style originated in 19th-century New York City as a type of working-class celebration but went into a decline in the mid-20th century. Resurrected by caterers in New Jersey, the beefsteak banquet style remained popular in that state's Bergen and Passaic counties, and is enjoying a revival in New York City,[1] where the style originated, due to the reemergence of a biannual beefsteak in Brooklyn.[2] Similar "beef and beer fundraisers" are common in the Philadelphia region, especially in white working class communities.[3]
