If you are new to steak, start with a ribeye or a sirloin. Ribeye is a well-marbled cut with a rich, beefy flavour. Sirloin is a leaner cut with a firmer texture. If you prefer a leaner cut, try a fillet. Fillet is the most tender cut of beef and has a mild, buttery flavour. If you want to try Wagyu, start with a Wagyu ribeye or a Wagyu sirloin. Wagyu beef is highly marbled and has a rich, buttery flavour.
Most steak restaurants offer a range of sauces, including peppercorn sauce, béarnaise sauce, and red wine sauce. The sauces are optional, as a good steak should be seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked over high heat. Most steak restaurants also offer a range of side dishes, including roast vegetables, mashed potatoes, and salads.
Most fine-dining steakhouses require booking, particularly on weekends and public holidays. Casual steakhouses usually do not require booking, but it is worth checking if you are going on a weekend. Prices range from $35 for a steak main course at a casual steakhouse to $150 for a steak main course at a fine-dining steakhouse. The average price for a steak main course in Sydney is $50 to $80.
