When it comes to searching for the juiciest cuts, the meatiest tenderloins and the most succulent T-bones, the stakes are really high. Fear not. If you are hankering for a slice of the action, these global venues will certainly get you sizzling in no time.
New York steakhouses
New York has always rated highly in the steakhouse charts where you can enjoy an endless list of meaty venues.
Peter Luger
These include the likes of Peter Luger (178 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211) or Old Homestead (56 Ninth Ave) which has been a focal point of the Meatpacking District for 150 years. Yet there are tastier morsels out there. Check out Palm (840 Second Ave.) which is famed for its enormous steaks as well as an excellent array of sea food.
Sparks: one of the best in NYC
There is also Sparks (210 E 46th St, between Second and Third Avenue) which pulls in the punters regularly and has been recognised in the Top 100 restaurants in NYC. Book in advance and tuck into one of their classic 16 ounce sirloins with a sublime charring. Thirsty for more? Don’t worry as you can wash this down with a glass from their award winning wine list.
Keens: a New York institution
Finally, Keens (72W W 36th Street Manhattan) has been a New York institution since the end of the 19th Century. Their oversized cuts ensure you’ll be requiring not one but two doggy bags.
American Cut, Atlantic City
Meanwhile if Atlantic City is more your style then hot for 2013 is American Cut (500 Boardwalk Atlantic City, NJ 08401). Bask in the stunning ocean views at Marc Forgione’s sublime meaty joint. The Art Deco interiors are simply divine whilst some dishes provide a whimsical look at recipes from a bygone era. This includes the inspirational Caesar Salad taken from the original dish from 1924. You will no doubt be salivating already but don’t miss out on their massive 40-ounce tomahawk rib eye chop or the seafood tasting selection featuring mouth-watering chilli lobster.
Singapore steakhouses
However, there are other pretenders to the best steakhouse throne which are located in Singapore. Firstly, Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse (25 Mohamed Sultan Road) opened last year is attracting carnivorous crowds.
Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse
This restaurant boasts the only Italian venue paying homage to the great steak. One of the highlights throws up a Fiorentina Wagyu T-bone steak which is more than a kilo of pure meaty heaven. Can you feel your veins coursing already? All their beef is cooked in a fired up wooden grill and is charred to perfection.
Bedrock Bar & Grill
Our next contender may have Fred Flintstone jumping for joy. The Bedrock Bar & Grill (96 Somerset Road, Number 01-05 Pan Pacific Serviced Suites) fuses together a sleek and sultry New York inspired steakhouse under the helm of prominent restaurateur Keith Loh. There is plenty of choice with a 200 plus gram Prime Black Angus Tenderloin or if you want to upgrade, then opt for the 400 gram Prime Black Angus Rib eye.
London Steakhouses
We cannot forget London either which offers incredible delights such as Hawksmoor (Spitalfields, Guildhall and Seven Dials locations). Consistently one of the best restaurants in the capital, it has won a host of awards including the Time Out Award for ‘Best New Restaurant 2011’. Their melt in the mouth steaks sourced from the finest British breeds are the reason why people return again and again.
Tramshed
Tramshed from Mark Hix (32 Rivington Street, London, EC2A 3LX) is new for 2013 and specialises in chicken and of course steak. Once inside, marvel at the impressive Grade II listed building and devour cut after cut of sumptuous marbled beef which is packed with flavour. There is a mind boggling one kilo of Porterhouse not to mention sirloin and rib selections to tempt you.
Flat Iron
Last but by no means least, the new Flat Iron in Soho should be on your to-do list. Following the success of the eponymous Flat Iron summer pop-up, this home to succulent fodder is now a 3-storey fixture in Soho’s trendy Beak Street. Get a mouth-watering flat iron steak, with a house salad and tempting sides such as dripping cooked chips, creamed spinach and market greens for a recession-friendly £10.
