Light Show Meat

1. Meat n’ Chill

Meat n Chill’s New York Strip ($27) is a whopping 500g, and that’s dirt cheap for that amount of good steak. They might as well be handing it to you for free. Their New York Strip is delightful with rich flavours but of course only slightly tough as cooking a steak this large is a difficult task. They also offer the Red Neck Soo-veed Rib-eye Steak($27) which is 250g. Although not quite as large as the New York Strip, it’s still very much worth its price. Sous vide first, then grilling, this Ribeye has excellent overall tenderness that leave lingering smokiness and meaty essences. All steaks are served with two side dishes of your choice. The only unfortunate thing is that orders for steaks are limited to 10 to 15 a day as the preparation process is arduous and takes time.

2. The Chophouse (Vivo City)

At The Chophouse resides the New Zealand Grass Fed Sirloin ($29) at 220g – 230g, served with watercress, grilled tomatoes, and the choice of Bearnaise sauce, red wine sauce or black peppercorn sauce. Their steak is thick cut, juicy, easy to cut through and cooked very evenly. With smokey flavours and a true fatty beefy flavour, their Sirloin, although not too “melt-in-your-mouth”, was tender considering the cut. I’d recommend getting either the Bearnaise or Red Wine sauce to complement your steak as the black peppercorn might overpower the steak’s flavours.

3. GastroSmiths

GastroSmiths’ Hanger Steak ($27) for the 200g cut, comes served with mashed potato puree, herb salad and pickled mustard seeds. Prized for its flavour and tenderness, the hanger steak is a special cut from the belly, not usually served to customers as the butchers keep them for themselves. That’s how good hanger steaks are. GastroSmiths, willingly sharing what one would call the “Butcher’s steak” with the rest of us, prepares it so that the hanger cut remains tender, flavourful and has a slight hint of iron in it, as characterised by the cut of the steak. Overall, their hanger steak is an interesting yet delectable change to the conventional cuts of steak, true to GastroSmiths’ uniquely creative cuisine.
