Steak and Blowjob Day (sometimes Steak & BJ Day or Steak and Knobber Day)[1] is a satirical unofficial holiday[2][3][4] created in the United States as a male response to Valentine's Day and celebrated a month later, on March 14.[5] On the day, women are purportedly supposed to cook a filet steak for and perform fellatio on a man in response to cards, chocolate, flowers and other gifts given by men on Valentine's Day.[6][7]

The observance has no official status, being a popular Internet meme rather than an actual holiday, but various souvenirs and video clips have been produced about it.[1][8] It was conceived in 2002 by DJ Tom Birdsey on WFNX radio.

It has been suggested that Steak and Blowjob Day is a backlash against the feminist movement; the holiday has been criticized as sexist and patriarchal, though it has also been positively received by some, and used as a platform to fundraise for breast cancer research.
