Steak!

Everybody enjoys eating a nice juicy steak! With so many variations of steak out there, how do you know which one to choose? Basically the different variations arise from the different parts of the cow's body in which it comes from. Different cuts will bring different textures and flavours. Some commonly ordered cuts are:
  • Filet Mignon- This is typically the most tender cut of beef which comes from the tenderloin and therefore the most expensive by weight.
  • Rib eye or scotch fillet- is a piece of steak taken from the rib section of a cow. It is composed of three different muscles that help add texture to the steak.
  • Sirloin Steak- a cut from the hip of a cow. It tends to be quite moist and therefore reputing a higher price tag.


You will also be asked how you would like your steak cooked; raw, blue, rare, medium rare, medium, medium well done, well done or overcooked. Now lets try it!
  • Hog's Breath  Cafe is great for a simple and quick fix of steakwith prices ranging from $30-$40.
  • Steersons Steakhouse located near The Rocks offers gourmet steaks, however with a greater price tag.
