STEAKS... anyone know a good butcher?

[monk_13]

Simple question really. does anyone know any good butchers? NOR preferably. Said steaks will need to be thick and juicy. Said steaks may be getting marinated for a minimum for 24hrs, and cooked slowly on the bbq whilst numerous beers are consumed. Not worried about cheap prices. Just good quality steak. I am sick of the mrs buying cheap coles/woolies steaks.

Cheers.

Anyone know anywhere you can get wagyu beef steaks in Perth (apart fron restaurants)? it will probably give me a coronary but to be completely honest, it'd be worth it.

answer to the original post:

Go see Star of the North Butchers @ Currambine marketplace shops (cnr Marmion and Shenton).
Ask for good restaurant quality steaks and they will sort you out, they have awesome 12 day aged steaks there, be prepared to pay though.

[mr_mike]

do a rd trip down to harvey and buy a chunk of dead cow, you will not get freshed better tastin meat anywhere in perth.
Then u can cut steaks as fat or thin as u want then freeze the rest.

Old man got a chunk of cow from Harvey and fuck me was that some of the best tasting steak I have ever had. Well worth it :)

Hippo Creek is the bomb! just book a month ahead or u miss out.

[jr]

well i'm a bit biased as the whole of my dad's family are butcher's. But my old mans shop at carine glades called Torre and Mordini ourmet meats, will cut you whatever steak you want and they only use harvey beef. I belive they also stock waygu beef most of the time, or otherwise can get some in for you.

[LNYMRKO]

Apparantly there is a new one opening up Hillarys way that'll do takeaway too!

[mr_mike]

same one from scabs has just shut and moved to Sorrento. Takeaway kilo steak eh

Awesome cuts, Mrs does bulk of her meat shopping there.

I can also recommend Scradly from this forum. If your keen for sausages, he has the best in the west, guaranteed!

you can buy cryo-vaced harvey beef striploins at almost any butcher in perth.. tell them you want a side of beef for ribeye or sirloin depending on what your after.

usually cost you around $120-$150 ea, I find i'll get around 20-30 decent steaks out of one and they are always good quality sides (bought em at many diff butchers over the years.. just go for harvey beef if you can).

Its ok but the 1kg steak was terrible on the 2 occasions i've eaten it. Also its hardly 1kg of meat. The meat on the tripod thing is much better. I had a look at Hillarys and it was supposed to open mid October.. Should be good though

Had some good steaks and produce from Herdsman Fresh but it can be pricey. They do Wagyu but it comes in frozen i think?

Nothing can beat the Piston-Klause hot rock steaks though :D We need shit like that in Perth. Although the steak i had on Friday at Old Swan Brewery was easily the best i've had in Oz!

[S133LTR]

you can cryo-vac wagyu from dewsons in burbs like herdsy/nedlands/claremont

Go down there a bit for dinner so i shall check it out!

[sethor]

Mondo's in Inglewood on Beaufort st (cnr of sixth ave)
They do everything including Wagyu, Black Angus etc
http://www.mondo.net.au/

[sethor]

The Torre butchers on Bulwer st & on Lake st in Northbridge are worth going to also.

[MISS 13B]

+ 1 for Torre Brothers in Northbridge.
It's a pain in the ass to get to but well worth it!

Soo these 1KG steaks at Hippo Creek, are they pretty massive?
Cos we're having a Perth Rotary Xmas lunch there in a few weeks and all the guys seem pretty hell bent on finishing these 1KG steaks :lol:

[[SPESHAL]]

1 kg T Bones at Hippo are about 400-500 grams of meat, if you exclude the bone and fat. Very tasty, but not difficult to eat.

[Joe]

If you're in the Vic Park area, Bert's Butchers do some nice cuts of meat....Wagyu, etc.

Also, Globe Restaurant in the city has a $33 Wagyu Beef lunch special. F*cking awesome.

I work for a wagyu company, among others... I've been having wagyu steaks twice a week for over a year now, costs me fark all, in some cases roughly as much as coles POS meat. I get wagyu steaks for cheaper than wholesale, of all grades, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/9 MBS. We're talking in the 25/45/65 dollar range, depending on quality and cut. Rumps are the cheapest cuts, usually around the 20 dollar range, but top of the range tenderloins will be about 65 bucks a kilo... way better than $200 retail you'd pay at a butcher or David Jones though! I find scotch fillets the best for steaks though. Send me a PM, maybe I'll be able to hook you up, there's only a limit on how much staff can buy... All my mates buy it from me, they come vacuum packed of between 2 to 5 kilos.... I gotta warn you though, you WON'T have any other steaks after this one, very addictive!!

[miss_petepie]

fark im hungry!

steak and beer needed pronto!

[Kye]

^^^ Agreed!

Luckily there is a heap of choices to get a steak and beer in the city. :wiggle:

GROUP BUY!

Hook me up brutha....PM sent.

[Fryman]

damn straaight!!!! will be in contact! do steak at least twice a week and tried it all!

[Ryan1080]

Ok, before I get flooded with PMs haha, I can only supply a limited order through my staff sales, for next week. However if I get enough people interested, I can certainly organise a group buy... won't be a problem.

[zxz]

im keen
never tried it but i trust antilags steak opinions :D

nothing worse than going out to dinner, or buying a 'good' steak and having it taste like it was marinated in vinegar

[cplagz]

ps... good Fillet marinade

honey, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, garlic, pepper and olive oil

leave to marinade 2-3 days and cook as a roast or slice into steaks .... guaranteed to make you wet yourself.

[miss_petepie]

also keen on said group buy :D

[Ryan1080]

Marinades are good. But often I just eat the wagyu on its own, without any additives, as you really get to taste it, and it's bloody good. The thing is, it is so marbled, with fat all inside it everywhere, it has a flavour in itself. I nearly came when I had my first 7/9 hahaha, so farken good! The other cuts, like the porterhouse are awesome for roasts too! It literally melts in your mouth! Again, I've done a few without marinades or anything, and the flavour within it was just heaven! Try it without marinades, you won't regret it!

zxz, you won't go back. I can't have normal steak anymore, not good enough, even at a restaurant. I'm not a good cook, but the wagyu I cook myself is 100 times better than an ordinary steak cooked by a top chef at a restaurant, no shit!

[Fryman]

a good steak requires nothing but salt and cooked correctly.

you ruin the natural flavour if you marinade it.

only use marinade if you get bored of the natural flavour or if yoru using a cheaper meat

if the meat is of tj high end spec quality then it requires no marinade.. its almost as bad as mixing grey goose with redbull. Blasphemy!

[Docile]

Cheers Ryan..

To go slightly OT, when i was at the restaurant at the 'Ring they had these "hot rock steaks". Steak cooked on a slab of something (not sure if it was actual rock) but it was like the opposite of cold rock ice cream. Looked the same. Anyone know what that stuff is? Steak was great but im sure PistonKlause isnt the only place in Europe who use that method.

Pretty sure Lava Stonegrill in Mt Lawley does this.

[Docile]

They do indeed!

Place doesnt look to bad and seems to be reasonably well priced

Apparently the hot rock gets heated for 6 hours and to 400degrees. It makes the food healthier and tastier and i guess a novelty thing

Exactly! Wagyu is a top quality meat, I've only ever marinaded it once or twice out of curiousity, and prefered it without. The natural flavour in it should be and will be sufficient, in fact it will be awesome! This isn't your $9.95 special at coles after all. There's a reason why it's so darn expensive.

[Fryman]

here here

the japs do that volcanic rock meat cookup as well. the japs LOVE their steak, as proper waygu beef is the cows in the controlled environment massaged and feed beer tale.

1st best steak had was in japan, 98,000 yen (980$) and was something else

2nd was at a morton steakhouse in macau.. $90 and undies were soiled.

waygu here is awesome but nothing like over seas /end dubai high roller mode

Our wagyu is made here in WA, and is actually mostly exported to Japan and some to Korea. The japs come visit us everytime there's a shipment to check if it is up to their standard. We actually have a resident Jap fella who works in our office, who is employed by them for that purpose. It doesn't get sold much here in aus domestically...

But yes, there is wagyu, and then there is wagyu. I've heard of some breeders calling their meat wagyu, even though it wasn't 100% pure breed wagyu at all... :dizzy:

[[SPESHAL]]

Ok you've sold me - group buy. Will buy whole cow.

[Ryan1080]

PM sent. I might still have a little bit of staff meat left to offload before resorting to group buys (it will be cheaper with my staff purchase that's all ;P )

[flamo_damo]

I hate this thread, I really really really could go for a nice steak right now!!! Yum

[blownVL]

my mates dad butcher shop on waneroo rd Georges butcher shop probably the best steak and meat iv ever eaten it is fukn quality

[Ryan1080]

Right, I had two people ask me already what the grading means... basically it is a marble score (MBS), which goes from 0 to 9, 9 being highest. Marble is basically the fat within the meat. The more white dots you see the better the grade. Don't confuse that with the shitty coles meat with lots of white veins and crap throughout the meat. It's the bits of fat throughout the meat that make it so good. Fat itself is a good monosaturated fat with omega 3 oils and all that bullshit, so it is actually a healthy type of fat! Grade 3/4 is still a bloody good meat, if you haven't had wagyu before, I suggest you grab that first. You can tell the difference between 3/4 and 7/9. Wanna know more about wagyu, internet is your friend :)

[MISS 13B]

We can get angus/wagyu through work... the stuffs bloody expensive though! Theres a butcher in floreat that sells it though in the big circle shaped shopping center block.

[DanWA]

for example the 7/9 wagyu at work is $50/kg.. oh and i work for a coal company that owns an agriculture company so dunno if we get it cheaper or not?

[Lonewolf]

must eat steak.

[d1_drifter]

Hmm, i'm pretty intruiged about this so called 'waygu'. Can't recall ever having it and definately don't know what it exactly is...

Might have to put in for this group buy! :P

Once you have Wagyu, it's hard to eat normal steak again ;)

[OneJ]

Wagyu is Warren Buffett's choice of steak.

It's either wagyu or fuck you.

[jEstEr?]

Wagyu from the Queens Steak house in Gladstone is the bomb

[sethor]

Wagyu is over rated I much prefer the leaner Black Angus Tenderloin.

[Ryan1080]

Thanks for the PMs guys. Got some interest in it. I am not sure if I will be able to supply all of you with my staff meat, so I may resort to a seperate group buy instead, I will advise later. Send in your EOIs to me anyway, so I can gauge some interest. With group buys, I will have to order the meat from the cool room by the carton, which is about 20 kilos in it, of the same cut, so depending on the cut,t here may be anywhere between 3 to 8 pieces of the same type. I'll advise the details later.

Sethor, we also do angus as well, and I can get some. I find that most people prefer the wagyu, although there are some that prefer the angus, it is a personal choice, those steaks are quite different though. Angus is also cheaper than wagyu by a bit. I prefer wagyu anyway.

[Volatile Rob]

Well, inspired by this thread, I went to the Stringy Bark Tavern in Wanneroo last night and gave the Carnivore Challenge a go... 800g of the juiciest steak, with chips and salad...

Being a fat pingpingpingping, I mowed through the steak with ease, struggled through the chips a bit (they were cold and soggy by the time I got to them), but it was the salad that got me...

They still counted it though and now I'm on the wall of fame (or shame)... It was the proudest moment in my life so far and I would like to thank Antilag.com for the inspiration to do something good with my life and for the greater community :yum:
