True Kobe beef is so expensive and rare you will never see it grilled as a single stake.There are many places all over the world claiming that they are serving Kobe beef  but it is not .

 

Including a lot of hotels and other places in BKK that often are promoting Kobe beef hamburgers....

The Guy is a salesman; what do you expect? It's an advertisement BMs.  I'm waiting for the cheap Chinese beef to be imported duty free.

why is that ?

 

I've travelled a lot and would agree that generally US steak has mostly been the best. I think the major difference/reason could be that European cows are grass fed whereas US are, or were grain fed, resulting in a more tender meat, or of course it could just be the hormones that may have been added.

British beef, cant be beaten.....shoot me down

El Gaucho included in that?

This is what I think of when I think of US beef - how representative this is of the mainstream, I don't know, but Eric Schlosser's book 'Fast Food Nation' is pretty damning of the whole US livestock industry.

I think we are talking about the same place -  the one immediately before Terminal 21 so Soi 19, I guess. 

The steaks are usually pretty good, although I simply assumed they were Argentinian; I will pay more attention next time. The do have Argentinian wine though - some very nice malbecs indeed.

They also give you a free shot of vanila vodka at the end of your meal - always a good way to round it off.

I had some great steaks in both Chile and Venezuela and Chilean wine was far better then French any day. 

All the Chilean beef comes from Argentina. I love the Carmenere from Chile and the Malbec

wines from Argentina. If you are a fan of steak and red wine you simply can't go wrong in Argentina.

If it were any cheaper it would be free. I have had equally great beef from around the world but for

grass-fed free-range superb beef at basically "free" prices Argentina is the place. I highly recommend

a trip to the Mendoza-Salta north-west region.  

I dont see USA in this list.

agree, can't go wrong with red and steaks in Argentina

(as far as wine is concerned I find Chile a winner in the region)

 

have hardly ever had the time to travel around Argentina

Been to Buenos Aires lots of times and have a couple of fav. restaurants down in the old docklands,

the steaks are out of this world

 

been to meetings in a couple of places south of Buenos Aires,

steaks? yes and superb

 

been all the way down to Ushuaia (Cape Horn)

excellent steaks and red wine in abundance

 

 

(US is doing fine though - plenty of good steaks there)

talkin' about Argentina and Germany

 

years ago wife and I were spending an evening in an Argentinian restaurant in Munich-Germany,

food/service top notch until Germany beat Argentina in the football worlds,

after that staff were totally pissed off

 

getting back to the hotel was an ordeal, the whole city went totally crazy

 

(digression,

 long long time  ago I was in Bari (south adriatic coast of Italy)

Italy beat some country (cant remember which) in the football worlds

the whole city went totally wild - never seen anything like it - insane the city was

quite happy looking at it from the terraces of the hotel)

 

 

You can occasionally find an incredibly tasty steak pretty much anywhere in the world. On average though, there are two locations that, in my opinion, stand out from the rest: Patagonia (in Argentina) and Nebraska (USA). I was fortunate to reside in Nebraska for 18 months and learned quickly that the reason for the supreme quality of steaks is the corn - 95% of the state of Nebraska grow corn and the remaining 5% produce corn-fed beef. According to rumours, the cattle are fed milk the month leading up to slaughter. As for Patagonia, I understand the supreme and unbelievably tasty beef originate from free-roaming cattle. 

 

It'd be difficult to end up being served a bad steak in those two locations.

nebraska and argentinian patagonia,

kinda exclusive, BA and the Plata delta & river excluded hmmmmmmmmm

My budget allows me to eat a Thai steak or at Sizzlers once a month. What if I saved up all year to taste the best steak in Bangkok. Where would I go?

Not a decent cut of beef on any of these animals - walking skeletons!  Marinate for a week, slow cook for another week, sharpen your teeth with a file and enjoy!  I have often wondered what these bags of bones are used for - perhaps to feed the temple dogs!

Did he have any advice for cooking Thai leather ?

 

It is the quality of what they are feeding on that

makes them look like that in the above post and 

hence the steak quality that would be more suited 

to a boot store.

 

I come from an area in Australia that provides beef 

for market that has been raised on pasture. Nothing 

wrong with that and the same would go for American 

and South American beef.

As others have mentioned, splash out at Gaucho.

the steak eaterie at the top of Landmark Hotel (BKK Sukhumvit between soi 4 and soi 6) sports  some pretty  decent steaks

 

the tavern (Neal's?) close to the end of soi RuamRudi (Sukhumvit? / Ploenchit?) also do good steaks

(its in the soi pretty close to where the soi joins wireless road)
