Variety of Fine Dining Steak Cuts
While we have established how a great steak can make a special moment with loved ones, now it’s time to learn how to pick the right one. Fine dining in Jakarta offers many steak options, each with its own flavor and texture. Knowing the cut you want is key. After all, there is nothing more disappointing than receiving a steak that doesn’t meet your expectations.
Filet Mignon
The filet mignon, originating from the tenderloin’s smaller end, is renowned for its exceptional tenderness and often considered one of the most tender cuts of beef. Typically served in 220 or 290 gram portions, it is a favored choice among diners. Derived from the tenderloin, the cow’s most tender muscle, this cut is known as “mignon” in French, meaning small. When properly cooked, this cut boasts tenderness that some might even find almost too supple.
Strip Cut
When it comes to the strip steak cut, we’ve got two heavy hitters: the boneless New York strip and the Kansas City steak, which includes the bone. These cuts are sourced from the short loin and are known for their bold flavor and tenderness. The lean yet flavorful cut features distinct marbling that enhances its taste when grilled or sautéed. It has a chewier texture and the robust flavor imparted by the sizable rim of fat along its side.
Porterhouse
The porterhouse steak cut boasts a larger portion of tenderloin alongside a hefty New York strip, held together by a bone that adds to a dramatic presentation. Sourced from the rear end of the short loin, it’s a substantial cut that’s perfect for sharing. Typically served as a thick steak up to 3 inches, this cut offers both tenderness and rich flavor in every bite.
Ribeye
The ribeye cut derives from the rib section of the steer and is renowned for its rich flavor and juiciness, characterized by its abundant marbling. When properly trimmed and cooked, the boneless ribeye offers a melt-in-your-mouth experience, epitomizing indulgence with every serving.
Prime Rib
Now, it is not lost on us that many who are yet to familiarize themselves with the world of steak indulgence might not know the difference between a ribeye cut and a prime rib. Before you peruse Lawry’s menu and order our prime ribs, allow us to shed some light on what exactly you’ll be savoring.
Simply put, a prime rib is the most majestic of all steak cuts. Hailing from the cow’s primal rib section, it is bigger and less processed compared to a ribeye. Offering a tender, juicy texture and incredible deep, rich, and beefy flavor. Prime rib roasts are often the star of holiday feasts and intimate family gatherings alike, earning its place as a culinary icon. Which makes Lawry’s a haven for those who are seeking a joyous occasion to celebrate while feasting like kings and queens.
