5 Steak Restaurants that Are a Cut Above the Rest!

Everyone craves a perfectly cooked steak that your knife slices through like butter and any restaurant worth its salt can stake their reputation on delivering just that on the plate.

Here are five venues where steak rules the house and there’s no beef about how you want it cooked:

A Hereford Beefstouw on Duckboard Place in the heart of Melbourne is all about quality steak and great wines, along with art and design. With a long tradition of working with renowned artists and designers, the aesthetic experience is a vital part of a visit to this dining destination, which boasts an industrial-style vibe of well-worn brick, polished concrete and twinkling lights overhead.

 

It’s all about the steak…after a starter of chicken wings and spicy chipotle sauce, devour New York sirloin on the bone with beer-battered chips, broccoli and cauliflower with sesame dressing; or share a tomahawk steak, carved tableside and served with sides of fried potatoes, chives and bacon and balsamic marinated beetroot – add half a lobster tail for the ultimate surf and turf.

Firegrill restaurant and bar on Clarence Street in the heart of Sydney offers destination dining with an emphasis on classic timeless comfort and quality. Discover a luxurious and refined yet fun vibe with décor incorporating dark timbers, quartz leather and three-metre-tall chandeliers, spread over several levels to offer the most comprehensive options for celebratory dining.

 

Don’t go past the steak flight and experience meat like you have never seen before with striploin, tenderloin, Wagyu flank and ribeye, grilled medium rare and served with potato gratin, pumpkin and mustard seed purée and port wine jus; those not into meat opt for pan-seared salmon, green beans in tarragon butter and tomato concasse.

Quality ingredients, cooked to perfection – that’s the simple mantra that sums up everything on the menu at Elements Bar and Grill on Harris Street in Pyrmont. Take in Sydney Harbour views alfresco where city lights twinkle at night setting a romantic vibe for dining; while indoors is elegant and stylish with leather booth seating, chandelier lighting and cosy corners ideal for an intimate evening with your someone special.

 

Steak is the specialty featuring the choicest cuts, sizzled and seared to a succulent sensation, with your choice of sides; indulge in the ultimate feast with a mouth-watering tomahawk steak with sides of nduja baked potatoes, garlic and rosemary, roasted Dutch carrots and char-grilled broccolini with whipped feta and beetroot relish, toasted gremolata crumb and fried leek.

Times Berwick on Bemersyde Drive brings a richness of flavours to Berwick diners, built on a passion for Italian-Modern Australian fare with a dash of African-style barbeque cuisine. Located in Clock Tower Mews, discover a stylish vibe of softly glowing bulb lighting, polished wood floors, potted and trailing greenery to peruse a menu showcasing grill-based dishes including steak, ribs, chicken, lamb and pork.

 

Expect to chow down on steak cuts like a T-bone cooked your way with sides of roasted cauliflower, truffle potato and broccolini, best enjoyed with a glass of Turkey Flat Shiraz; or share the Times carnivore feast with eye of rump, half rack of beef or pork ribs, crispy skin pork belly and grilled chicken, with chips, salad and choice of sauce.

Sydneysiders looking to feed their inner carnivore head along Canberra Street in St Johns Park to find Fatman’s Steakhouse. Serving perfectly cooked steak for more than a decade, this family-friendly restaurant rocks a décor of vibrant green and black walls, timber flooring and softly glowing downlights, ideal for catch-ups over lunch or dinner. 

 

Think plates of house-smoked pulled pork, housemade BBQ sauce, baked beans, slaw and a side of corn on the cob, or tender smoked rib tips, with waffle fries and coleslaw. Not a meat eater? Fatman’s blackened shrimp tacos with grilled onion and green pepper appease seafood lovers, or deep-fried calamari and marinara sauce.
