Steakhouses

The first Chophouse was established in London in the 1690s. A fun fact is women were allowed to dine at steakhouses only from 1921. As much as things have changed since then, some principals have remained the same. Steak usually refers to beef or pork meat but it can also be used as a reference for fish meat. All the kinds can be found in Malta. 

Meat lovers know the delight of a perfectly cooked steak. What makes eating it a great experience? We can start with the externals like the place you eat it at. From American-styled restaurants to more modern or luxurious places, the vibes can bring a new experience to dining. Malta offers both possibilities, the interior of the steakhouse can be checked thanks to the photo gallery or the website of the restaurant. The type of meat and the way it's prepared and cooked obviously have the biggest impact. If during preparation and cooking at least one step isn't done correctly, the dish won't taste as it's supposed to. 

Types of steaks

Types of steaks describe where the meat was sliced from. There are several types like filet mignon which comes from tenderloin and is considered the most tender type of steak. Chateaubriand also comes from tenderloin and is prepared with tarragon, lemon juice, and butter. Rib-eye steak as the name suggests is sliced from ribs, very popular and appreciated for its rich taste. Regardless of the type of the meat, steaks should be sliced perpendicular to the muscle fibres, with or without a bone. Many steakhouses in Malta publish their menus online, with an explanation about the meat type and preparation. Some online menus might include prices.

The most popular doneness levels are rare, medium and well-done. The scale is bigger, though. For the true steak lover, the differences can be very important. The additional points on the scale are blue rare, medium rare and medium done. They illustrate how temperature and timing make a difference in taste. If it's not mentioned on the menu, discuss with the waiter how you want your steak, most steakhouses in Malta should adjust to the clients' preferences.

There are various approaches to the preparation process. Some enjoy just simple spices like salt, pepper and maybe a pinch of paprika. To judge the tenderness of meat, herbs and spices are indeed not important. However, there are also marinated and specially prepared steaks which aid in bringing out the richer taste of the meat.
