How to Cook the Perfect Steak

First, start with a great cut of steak.  The best place has to be here at Hope Island Gourmet Meats.

There are plenty of cuts of steak 

Rump steak
This great value, traditional pub fave has the greatest beef flavour, making it popular with meat lovers. It’s lean, full-flavoured and firmer in texture than a fillet.

Sirloin steak a.k.a. porterhouse steak or New York steak
The steak lovers’ choice, this cut is lean, notably tender, rich in flavour and extremely juicy.

Fillet steak a.k.a. eye fillet or tenderloin
Famously tender, the fillet is arguably the most desirable of steaks. It’s supremely lean with a mild and subtle flavour.

Scotch fillet steak a.k.a. boneless rib eye or rib fillet
One of our most popular Aussie steaks thanks to its juicy tenderness and rich, meaty flavour.

T-bone steak
This quintessential Aussie BBQ steak is a satisfying choice for meat lovers. It packs two different textures and flavour experiences – a tender fillet muscle on the smaller side of the bone and a juicy sirloin on the other.

Flat iron steak
This delicious steak is cut from the oyster blade. It’s lean with a hearty beef flavour and stays moist even when cooked to medium-well.
