Steak in Austin

Bone-in Strip Steak at ALC Steaks in Austin

Last night Sara Foskitt and I went to ALC Steaks (formerly known as Austin Land & Cattle) for a celebratory dinner.  Normally I order the 16oz ribeye or 22oz bone-in ribeye as the main course (and I often have it Oscar Style).  Either one of these steaks, cooked medium rare, is a delicious choice.  You get tender, well marbled meat.  I like the ALC ribeyes enough that I haven't deviated from selecting them in years.

Though I do love the ribeyes, yesterday I was feeling more experimental.  Based on a tip from a steak loving friend, I wanted to try the Oscar Style toppings on a leaner cut of beef.  I was also curious about a dry-aged, grass-fed option at ALC.  Thus I went with the 14oz bone-in strip steak from 44 Farms.   Excellent choice on my part; the grass-fed beef had great constancy and the "meatier" flavor it is known for.  All I can say is that it was fantastic, and if you are looking for a steak in Austin ALC Steaks should be at the top of your list.  Furthermore, I'd love to see ALC put a grass-fed ribeye on the menu.  [note: if fillet is more your style, I sampled Sara's and it was quite good... though not as good as mine]

Other items of note:  the asparagus with chimichurri makes an good side for any of the steaks.  It's flavorful and it won't slow you down later (as a baked potato might when combined with almost a pound of beef).  The new crab cakes with smoked jalapeño remoulade are a great appetizer.  Now, if only ALC will take my suggestion and put bacon wrapped shrimp with remoulade on the menu...
