“No… this isn’t what I meant when I said I have beef with you…”
If foods took on the personalities of animals, steak would definitely embody the craftiness of a fox. How dare restaurants charge exorbitant prices for subpar, chewy cuts that leave diners feeling cheated. Personally, I’m not paying $40 for a piece of low-quality steak when I can get it at half the price at a supermarket and do a better job in my own kitchen.
However, the food scene is not as pessimistic as I described it to be. There are still restaurants that serves quality steaks at prices as wallet-friendly as $24 and of course, those that actually offer interesting culinary experiences like a steak omakase course or an Argentinian grilling techniques that imparts an irresistible char.
Hence, while cooking steak at home is the economical choice, here are the best steakhouses in Singapore that are worth your time and money.
