[CLOSED] Steakout

For $30.50 this was a steal! Medium rare steak came a little too rare tho~

Steakout has been around for ages, and they’ve had a change of chefs a year or two ago. However, the last time I paid a trip to Steakout was also a couple of years ago, which means that there’s now only one question that steaks out: has the quality dropped?

Fortunately, the answer is a resounding no. This 250 gram slab of Angus ribeye straight from New Zealand costs $26.90 nett and is worth the moolah. Tender, succulent bovine is sublimely seasoned with salt & pepper, and served up with a redolent red wine sauce. That’s really all you need for a decent meal that’ll steak out in your memory.

Of course, the sides are still rather disappointing, but bear in mind that you’re here to chow down on the cow, not on the cow’s food.

This was slightly disappointing, especially considering the price. The steak while well-seasoned turned out to be a little dry, and slightly over-cooked for something that was supposed to be medium-rare. Quantity of the side dishes were not great, and other places like Astons etc. which have similar offerings at cheaper prices are more generous with their sides. If the steak itself was better, it might have been worth it. But unfortunately, this fell short of expectations. To be fair, their non-steak items like chicken are much cheaper and probably more value for money.

Soggy over cooked broccoli that cost $2.90. You can also see how small the serving of fries was also costing $2.90. The chicken tasted ok but was mostly fat, skin and gristle. Did nothing to lift my hopes for good food in Singapore.

Place was surprisingly empty for a Saturday afternoon; nonetheless I was eager to try the famed affordable steaks. Besides steak, they also have other meat dishes (pork and chicken) as well as pasta. Ordered the 200g tenderloin (black pepper sauce), medium, with apple walnut & potato salad for sides. The steak was cooked to more of a medium rare doneness, but i guess it was due to the thickness of the meat. Nonetheless, it was still delicious; tender and juicy even without the accompanying black pepper sauce. Was hoping for more of the sides though. One of my go to places for steak :)

Due to the judgmental looks MooMoo (Steakout's absolutely adorable mascot) was shooting at me, I couldn't quite bear to order a beef steak. Instead, I MOOved along and ordered a K(ronenburg) Pork Steak instead. Even though the meat is marinated in the excellent Kronenburg lager, there is no hint of alcohol taste, but instead there is a subtle, sweet flavor that tangos well with the rich, savory mushroom sauce to create a flavor fiesta in your mouth. However, my two nitpicks on this otherwise divine porcine dinner are that the pork steak is too thin, and it's a little tough. Other than that, it's another moo-velously excellent dish from my favorite steakhouse. Oh and did I mention that for the month of October, an order of K Pork Steak gets you 25% off all beers and ciders? Get here and show MooMoo some love today!
