The best steak I have bought in Chiang Mai has always come from Northern Farms. It has been rib-eye from Charolais and it is local beef. I think it was just over 300 baht a kilo and they will cut it fresh for you at whatever thickness you want. I think it is as good as a good piece of steak in Australia.

The Rimping steak I have tried is over priced and very ordinary quality.

I avoid eating steak when I go out as it is rare you can get it cooked as you like or the right thickness. One man's rare is another man's medium rare. It is so easy to cook steak at home so I leave the more fiddly dishes for chef's to cook when I go out.

I think I might be a bit out of the price per kilo. I do remember thinking that the steak was less than half what I paid at Rimping.

Perhaps this may help you to choose or at least show the butcher what cut of beef you would like.
