Good steak & wine?

[moonseeker]

Any new recommendations for a nice place with excellents steaks & wine? Getting disappointed in most places. Fully aware of the high cost of good imported beef and happy to pay well for  a good meal. Thank you.  MS>

If you have access to a frying pan then DIY it as steak is easy to cook.

Down to friendship & get a proper imported steak, then off to tesco & snag a bottle of thier 'finest' range Malbecs.

Make sure that the steak is up to room temp before you fry, pat any condensation off the steak, season & into a fairly hot pan with some oil & butter.

Lower the heat slightly & don't move the steak at all.

After a few mins do the same to the otherside including patting it dry (you don't want to steam it).

Make sure that you have a hot plate ready & you should be on your first glass of wine.

When the steak is just a less cooked than you like it then transfer to that hot plate & splash some wine into the pan to deglase it pouring thus sauce over your steak.

Do not attempt to eat the steak for at least 5 mins.

Have some crusty bread ready for mopping up duties after you've demolished that steak & kick yourself for not buying another bottle of red.

Thank you. Yes, I do cook myself, but enjoy going out with friends for a nice dinner. THX.  MS>

I had bistecca alla fiorentina at Toscanas some time back and it was without question the best steak I have ever had anywhere.  Of course the problem is that especially steak can change from day to day in terms of quality but I would go there first for a repeat before anywhere else.

Poseidon in Jomtien have a very good wine cellar at reasonable prices. They have high grade imported beef as well, you can select it by weight. It is in a gay area so if this bothers you then I guess you don't deserve a good steak anyway. Enjoy.

I can recommend Cafe des Amis, Casa Pascal and Amadeus. I like tenderloin steaks and I give a slight edge to Casa Pascal. My friends like the house wines at all these places and they are reasonably priced (definitely not Mont Claire).

Is it open at the moment as it looked all closed up when I walked past it late last Saturday night - IE all chairs piled up inside?

They go quiet during low season sometimes. Owner may go to home country.

Was open last night but at 9.15pm on a Tuesday inside was full with 15 minute wait for a table! Plenty of seats outside.

Try Momento Beach on Thepprasit Soi 8, A lovely setting and excellent steaks and other meat-related goodes. It's French-owned and not too expensive. Try the steak skewer.
