Why Choose Angus at Elements?

When you dine at Elements Bar & Grill, you’re not just enjoying a meal; you’re experiencing premium, high-quality beef. Among our standout offerings are two Angus beef dishes: the 1.4kg Tomahawk and the Angus & Hereford eye fillet. But what exactly is Angus beef, and what makes it so special? Let’s explore.

What is the Difference Between Angus Beef and Regular Beef?

Angus beef comes from the Angus breed of cattle, originating from Scotland. Known for their solid black or red coats, these cattle are prized for their ability to produce high-quality beef with superior marbling, also referred to as intramuscular fat. This marbling ensures the meat remains tender and flavorful, a hallmark of black Angus beef. In contrast, regular beef can come from a variety of cattle breeds, many of which may not offer the same level of marbling or consistent quality. Angus beef’s rich, juicy profile sets it apart, making it a preferred choice among chefs and diners alike.

Is Angus Better Than Wagyu?

When comparing Angus to Wagyu beef, the debate often centres on marbling and flavour. Japanese Wagyu is renowned for its extraordinary marbling and buttery texture, but Angus beef holds its own with its bold, beefy flavour and tender texture. At Elements Bar & Grill, we celebrate the distinct qualities of both types. Angus beef, such as our Tomahawk, offers a robust flavour profile that stands out on the grill. While Wagyu may be silkier, Angus remains a favourite for those who enjoy traditional, hearty cuts of meat. Every Thursday, Elements celebrates by offering our Tomahawk Steak Special in Sydney. The offer includes 1.4 kg of pure meaty deliciousness, accompanied by two Tommy’s Margaritas. Best enjoyed when sharing.

Why is Angus Beef So Expensive?

The cost of Angus beef can be attributed to the quality of the meat and the specific care taken during production. Black Angus cattle, particularly those certified as American Angus or Aberdeen Angus, are raised with strict standards that prioritise meat quality. Their diet, environment, and breeding are all tailored to produce meat that’s tender, flavorful, and consistently high-grade. Additionally, beef labeling plays a role. Certified Angus beef must meet rigorous requirements, ensuring only the best cuts are marketed as Angus. This attention to detail adds to its value, making Angus a premium product.
