Where to Find the Best Steaks in Sydney

There's nothing worse than seeing a beautiful piece of beef not being cooked with the respect it deserves, yet all too often you see cooks making mistakes. Imagine taking a piece of "butcher's favourite" ribeye and tossing it straight from the fridge and into a lukewarm pan where it stays for eight minutes before turning. Ahhhhh! What a waste of a good steak!

Getting it right

When cooking beef at home, we recommend referring to our Guide to Different Cuts of Beef. Not only does it tell you where each cut of beef comes from, it helps you discover some delicious recipes and the right way to cook each cut.

Don't want to risk it? Then head on out to some of these Sydney restaurants, all of which have a great reputation for serving sensational steaks. And better yet, they're all partners of Good Food Gift Card so you could gift your partner an anniversary steak dinner, or take corporates for a celebratory lunch!
