A steakhouse is a must-visit for steak enthusiasts because it is a restaurant that specialised in steaks. It offers steaks in varying degrees of doneness and cuts such as a rib, loin, shank, and flank. A steakhouse often delivers premium quality red meats that are grilled to perfection to enhance the meat’s savouriness. There are also steakhouses that offer other dishes such as chicken, fish, oyster, lobster and other seafood.
Juicy, tender steak with a side of french fries or salad after a long day, who doesn’t like that? Pair them with your favourite beverage and you think life is better again. You may be thinking, “All steaks taste the same; how can I locate nice, authentic western cuisine that delivers not only good but great steak to satisfy my cravings?” Don’t worry, here are the top 10 steakhouses in PJ to enjoy with your friends and family.
What Are The Different Types Of Steak Cooking?
Did you know that no matter how you cook your steak, the nutrients stay the same? The only difference is the texture, flavour and juiciness of the meat.
- Rare
A steak that has been cooked for a very short period, the centre is red. In short, it is cooked on the outside but not on the inside. If you are worried about your health when eating rare chicken, don’t! Because beef doesn’t have parasites as chicken and pork does, it does not have any health risk.
- Medium Rare
Medium rare steak feels warm to the touch and unlike rare, has a pinkish colour in the centre that is soft but firm and hard on the outside.
- Medium
The middle looks browner but still contains a tad of reddish-pink in the middle
- Medium Well
It looks brown from afar with just a slight hint of pink on the inside, if you prefer a tender, soft steak without any blood, this one is for you!
- Well-Done
They are usually charred on the outside and have no pinkish colour on the inside anymore, to prevent the meat from being too hard to chew on, cook it on slow heat.
- Congratulations
They are too hard to chew on and sometimes are too hard to swallow as well. If you’ve achieved this stage when cooking your steak, redo your steak.
