What on the menu

Stirling Steaks is known for being a steak specialist, a restaurant and butchery offering fresh or cooked meats. Their charcoal-grilled steaks is their unique offering, where they tout to be able to offer all cuts so you can “eat the entire cow”. Here, you can choose from 10 types of beef steak cuts, including tomahawk, ribeye, sirloin, T-bone, rump, flank and more. These are prepared using chilled fresh beef from Australia.

Also, the restaurant prides itself on grilling over traditional charcoal, which imparts a distinctive smoky aroma and helps retain the meat’s juices. This is quite reminiscent of the charcoal fired claypot rice we previously had too. Moreover, you can also customise your steak by choosing the size, doneness, and sauce. Also, your steaks are cooked to your desired done-ness, which I would recommend Medium-rare.

A place for steaks

I found their steaks offers a smoky charcoal flavour and not overly dry. Though the juiciness could be more consistent throughout the steak, where it tend to be very dry and burnt near the ends. Also, your mains are served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, and fries.

Also, the menu caters to various budgets, from expensive highlights like Wagyu Flight, Tomahawk, and a Black Angus Steaks. If choosing a cut is too complicated for you, you can go for their standard meal offerings, with prices starting from a $9.90 value steak meal.

Also besides steak, Stirling steaks also has grilled chicken, duck breast, fish and chips, salmon and burgers on the menu. Though not their forte, it makes for a rather comprehensive western grille offering.
