Sometimes the craving for a delicious steak is so strong that all one can do is succumb to temptation.
Dubai is a hub for multiple restaurants, and the choices to tuck into a delicious and juicy steak are endless.
Steak is a thick cut of beef, served either with or without the bone. The meat is usually grilled or fried, and based on the level of tenderness the person would like to have, is either cooked rare, medium rare, medium or well done.
While ordering steak, it is crucial to know the different kinds of cuts available. Diners can opt for beef tenderloin, which is a muscle that runs along the spine, and smaller cuts like fillet mignon are also made from the same area.
Ribeye is a smaller cut from the centre section where the ribs are located, with the tomahawk cut from the same area, in a bigger size, making it a good choice for multiple people to enjoy.
Cut from the short loin, the New York strip is a boneless piece of steak, with the sirloin steak and t-bone, also known as porterhouse, derived from the back of the cow.
While picking the right cut of steak, another factor to consider is the fat content, which can be seen from the white marbling on the steak. Sirloin is a leaner steak, with ribeye, New York strip and t-bone steaks having a higher fat content.
