When it comes to steak, choosing the right cut makes all the difference in flavour, tenderness, and cooking method. Whether you prefer a rich, marbled steak or a lean, tender cut, understanding what sets each steak apart helps you make the best choice. At Elements Bar & Grill, we take pride in offering premium steak cuts, prepared to perfection. In this guide, we explore the best steak cuts in Australia and which one reigns supreme.
What is the Best Cut of Steak in Australia?
If you’re looking for the best overall steak, rump steak and T-bone steak are excellent choices for their balance of flavour and texture. However, at Elements Bar & Grill, we crown sirloin steak (also known as Porterhouse steak in Australia) as the king of steak cuts for its perfect combination of tenderness, juiciness, and rich beefy flavour.
