If I'm not mistaken, the word 'Neụ̄̂x' means 'meat'.... in much the same manner when in other parts of the world and we have a 'meat kebab' it can be lamb or beef, or a mixture of both....  perhaps that translation has some similar etymological basis...  

 

That said: In Thailand.. 'Neụ̄̂x' is commonly used to refer to beef, but there can be exceptions... 

 

But for certain... 'Neụ̄̂x' Steak...  does not specifically mean 'Fillet Steak' regardless of what google translate will tell you !!!!... 

 

 

Google didn't say 'fillet'  -  only the above poster.

 

 

 

You order pad krappow nua  , the only meat you will get is beef

 

 

Google agrees with me  .......'beef steak':-

เนื้อวัว

Neụ̄̂x wạw

Just read through this topic, made me smile, best place for steak for me is Macro but it is a bit hit or miss for fresh meat, not a fan of frozen steak.

Google 'meat'...  and you'll get Neụ̄̂x

 

Neụ̄̂x' waw transliterates to 'meat of cow'...    and to highlight that, google 'chicken meat'... 

 

Thats not to suggest you are wrong, ordering anything here with Neụ̄̂x and you'll get beef because Thai's find a way to shorten everything in their language....

Fair price for Australia grass feed, although it is the round (rump) cut.

Last week I bought a couple of Australian grass fed rib eye steaks at the grocery store at Central Festival.  I think it was 1590 baht for two small steaks.  They were pretty good.

Doesn't sound cheap unless they added up to over 600g.

Blow me down with a feather, seen at Big C Pattaya recently AU grass fed steak, that's what I use to buy back home, was the most tender and tastiest, a similar price which I cant get my head around...but...they do name things here totally different to my home country, example ham on the bone is German ham at big c..and no im yet to try the grass fed steak but I will....
