Best steak ?

[Verde]

Your post is great, but a picture is worth 1000 words. Do you have a diagram for us, to assist in dealing with these (very necessary) very important technicalities?

Left ribeye on the bone, right sirloin on the bone.
You can see the ribeye is made up of 2 muscles and the loin only one. The large muscle in the middle of the ribeye (the eye) is the same muscle that makes up the entire loin (longissimus dorsi). It is more tender and marbled in the rib area, which makes it tastier.

Best steak I had was at a place near Cathedral peak that I forgot the name of. Second best was done at home, Fillet steak from my last hind quarter done on my braai. Otherwise I have had good results from the Hussar Grill at Monte, those guys take their meat seriously, and are kinda big on the "Meat on the Bone" idea as they claim a lot of the flavour comes from the bone. Not sure I completely agree with that but regardless of if you get cuts on or off the bone their steak is great.

Meat is always sweeter when it's closer to the "bone"

Mantra in camps bay has good steak. My sirloin was almost as soft as a decent fillet and still had good flavour. Definitely worth R200

Haven't been to all the places on the list but best steaks I can recall would be (in no particular order):

-Blu Saffron (Pretoria Country Club)
-Harlequins
-Culture Club (I inhaled that thing in like 5 minutes.. was so good.. but I may have just been starving)
-Grillhouse Rosebank
-MooMoos Brooklyn - the pepper crusted fillet is great.. but needs a bit of sauce on the side
-Kream Brooklyn
-The old Pangaea restaurant made an amazing steak.. same owners as Kream so possibly similar recipe
-Nelson's Eye in Cape Town
-Can't remember the name but there is an amazing steak place in Harfield village in Cape Town.. small family run place

The place in Harfield is Rare Grill. Great steak.
