5 Fantastic Steaks
In Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
The Alabama Gulf Coast is known for superb seafood, but that’s not the only type of food our restaurants can prepare and plate to perfection. There are great burgers, pastas, barbecue platters, and more, crafted with culinary finesse in kitchens across the area. Of course, you can’t have a full menu without a selection of juicy steaks — and you can find some write-home-about-worthy steaks in our area. If you want to add turf to your surf, check out these five steaks you must eat to believe.
1. The Flora-Bama Ribeye
Sink your fork into 14 ounces of hand-cut, certified Angus beef at the famous Flora-Bama Yacht Club. These thick, delicious steaks are seared to perfection and served with a heaping pile of Yukon Gold potatoes and steamed vegetables almost as succulent as the steak itself. While chewing, treat the rest of your senses to a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that includes live music, waterfront views, and balmy breezes.
2. Cobalt's Seasonal Butcher's Block
Dinner at Cobalt features incredible cuisine and gorgeous waterfront views. While seafood is the specialty at this restaurant, you won't want to overlook the land fare on the menu. Cobalt offers a rotating butcher's block inspired by the season and crafted with fresh vegetables and cuts of beef, game, and seafood, the perfect surf-n-turf meal.
3. Beef Tournedos at GTs on the Bay
Those who think tenderness is as important as taste must try the Beef Tournedos at GTs on the Bay. These tasty twin medallions are 4 ounces each of quality pan-seared beef, cooked to your liking and topped with an incredible creamed spinach and mushroom demi-glace. The entire dish is nestled on a plate of Parmesan grits for a mouthwateringly southern steak.
4. The Voyagers Variety
For a memorable dining experience, visit Voyagers, as this restaurant offers superb steaks in an elegant atmosphere for fine dining full of flavor. From tenderloins and chops to ribeyes and filet mignon, all their steaks are dry-aged for at least 35 days and broiled to glistening perfection. Once you’ve chosen your cut, top it with a fantastic list of add-ons like house-made sauces and crowns crafted from buttery lobster tails, crispy bacon, or juicy Gulf shrimp.
5. Mikato’s Sukiyaki Steak
Savor your steak with a show at Mikato Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar. Order the sukiyaki steak and marvel as it’s prepared on the hibachi grill right in front of your eyes. The steak is thinly sliced and cooked with vegetables and soy sauce. As if that isn’t enough, this entrée comes with a shrimp appetizer, soup, salad, Japanese vegetables, and steamed rice. Complete your meal with an order of sake or a hot cup of green tea.
