# Hearty Steak Sandwich Pairings Taco Bell's New Double Steak Melt Deluxe Box is Whole Meal in a Box By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2019-02-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-steak-melt-deluxe-box References: [delish](https://www.delish.com/food-news/a26100021/taco-bell-testing-expensive-meal-ever/) & [usatoday](https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2019/01/31/taco-bell-testing-two-menu-items-including-double-cheesy-gordita-box/2734989002/) While Taco's Bell's $1 menu is perfect for snacking, the chain's new Double Steak Melt Deluxe Box is a much heartier option. Not only does the meal cover all the based, but at $7, it's also the chain's most expensive offering yet. The new Double Steak Melt Deluxe Box is a combo offering that is currently being tested at [Taco Bell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deluxe-cravings-box) locations in Ohio. The new meal consists of a folded flatbread stuffed with a double helping of marinated steak and a whole lot of cheese. The meaty steak melt is then paired with a Crunch Taco, [Nacho Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-garlic-nacho-fries), and a medium drink. Though it's $2 more than any other item on the Taco Bell menu, the Double Steak Melt Deluxe Box is unlikely to cause a fuss among consumers as it's the perfect size for sharing.
