Food Tips: What to eat?

With so many kinds of steaks to choose from, the choices can be overwhelming sometimes. Whether your preference is a butter-soft fillet steak or flavour-packed sirloin, a good steak comes down to your choice of meat and the attention paid to cooking it. The cut of steak depends on personal preference as well as the budget because different cuts will deliver different levels of tenderness and flavour. Sirloin is considered to be a prime steak but has more flavour than say a fillet. There are also the lesser known cuts such as the feather blade that comes from the shoulder blade but packs lots of sweet flavour. But one could also argue that timing is the key because there is only a few minutes leeway between rare and well-done steak. Some prefer the rich flavour of a quality steak and add nothing other than a sprinkling of salt and a twist of pepper. But many others like to enhance the flavour and tenderise the meat with a marinade such as the balsamic vinegar. Then there is miso or teriyaki marinades that are great options to give your steak an Asian flavour. Many chefs add garlic and herbs like thyme and rosemary to the steak while it’s cooking to subtly add a background flavour to the steak without overpowering the taste of the meat itself. Regardless, here are some restaurants that we think serve some of the best steaks in Qatar.The Butcher Shop & Grill Hunters Room & Grill - The Westin Doha Hotel & Spa Outback Steakhouse New York SteakhouseApplebee’s
