uttradit Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 They seem to be popular with Thais now. The cheapest steak meal I had was 180 baht. The best were more pricey. Nice to enjoy a steak to break away from Thai food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondue zoo Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Where are they sourcing all the beef? The cows I've seen north and south look half starved, the fattened calf must be somewhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 They exist since decades. Unfortunately, it seems they are relative cheap and bad or good and very expensive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several large modern cattle farms in Sakhon Nakon (Thai French), Pakchong (Chokchai), and Rayong (Max Beef). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMF is correct the cheap steak house has been here forever. 1979 first time here. Ban Rai steak house Chiang Mai. Buffalo steak with a small salad and baked potato 40 baht. Rumor they used Pepsi mixed with grated green papaya for a tenderizer. It was definitely edible especially when just returning from a 5 or 6 day hilltribe trek.

Yes, sometimes there is no need to pay more, although there is a certain level of quality & dining experience (ambiance), which unless going high end, TH lacks. Been hit & miss with beef steaks in the past, and the worse have been imported, but years past, just low quality import, I think. Along with cooked incorrectly. Farang managed restaurant ... nuff said Lately, aside from home of course, best beef steaks have been at 'You Hunt, We Cook' @ BluPort Mall/Hua Hin, although you do pick the steak, and they always seem to have 2 for 1 bundled, so very good steak & value (2 / total ~500gr), cooked to perfection every time, so far, and about 500 baht, if memory serves.

If in the neighborhood, and not looking for ambiance. Time it right, and you can even wash it down with cold beer or whatever, since located inside Gourmet Market: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Gotta go with The Guacho chain. You're paying whitie-prices, but it's New York level good -for call it 20% off. Their waygu burger was for real, most waygu burgers simply means reduced gristle. I'm good for a small steak about every other year. Peppercorn sauce or blue cheese, please. Those fries should be so hot that it hurts to pick them up. My last steak was at The Sizzler. Value for money, partic with the salad bar add on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) I thought Gaucho was terrible. A true Steakhouse with fantastic food, service and ambiance? Not for Cheap Charlie's the JW Marriott Steakhouse is the best I have had. Edited February 11 by bkk6060 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to a very well known joint in the Asoke area last year and paid something like 4200 baht. It was awful. Almost rock solid. Strangely enough, one of the best steaks I've ever had was on an Etihad A380 on the way over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocky Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 There are two Steakhouses I'd recommend in Hat Yai. Meats and Beans ( 7° 0.449'N, 100° 28.971'E) https://maps.app.goo.gl/fnhna3DZMSvXgKvc9 Was there last weekend. The other is Blackbridge Halal Steakhouse ( 7° 0.724'N, 100° 29.020'E) https://maps.app.goo.gl/rMkxr2HnTbVvLAea9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating well done you lose the flavour and juices, like mixing single malt with coke. Defeats the purpose. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
