It's been a while since the US beef option has been put up at Botak Jones. I'm still not that sure I'll be willing to pay their prices considering that there's nothing remarkable about the quality of their steaks. So here's an 400g Australian beef ribeye. In retrospect, there's not too much to complain for the price since it was probably one of the best priced, if not indeed the cheapest steak to be had at that weight for $27. Those guys cooking did put in some effort at trying to get medium rare. Knowing that in life one tends to get what one pays for; allow me a little criticism. The texture of the meat was stringy (also fibrous near the fat) and the consistency of the doneness was a little lacking. Despite saying that it was a valid effort, I don't think that was the medium rare that I'd be happy with if it were an expensive cut of meat. Still, if you're in for big meat at affordable price, the Australian ribeye here works.
Woah... looks really really nice...

ReplyDeleteThere aren't signs for the USA "PRIME" Ribeye or "Choice" Tenderlpion as they are items that are on the regular menu now.
ReplyDeleteIf you compare quality for quality, you will find that they are incredible value for the money.
