The best $10 steak I've ever had in my life!

That's right. I have found one of the better cheap deals around town. A delicious 300g Porterhouse steak, with creamy mash potato and a nice peppercorn jus. Only ten bucks!

Where and when? Tuesday night at the Dan O'Connell Hotel in Carlton. An old but cosy and inviting pub just down the road from Father Flannagan's where we were a while ago.

And so.. let me me tell you about this steak. Oh my.. it was damn good. Very good in fact. When it arrived at the table, it did look a bit scary, but once I tucked into it, I couldn't believe how tasty and well prepared it was!

The mash was nice, creamy and soft. And the steak itself was a decent 300 grams, quite a quality cut of meat and cooked just how I like it. But it was the peppercorn jus that made it stand out. None of this Gravox with some peppercorns thrown in. This is the real deal. I'm guessing it's prepared overnight by slowly stewing beef bones with some red wine, bay leaves and of course the peppercorns. But I'm only guessing. Still, it was very very nice and I most likely will go again for another one, but only if they'll still ten bucks or I get mine for free for doing such a nice write up! *nudge*

There is also a pool table, $10 jugs of draught and open mic night at 8:30 which was quite umm.. amusing to say it nicely. ;)

But 10 out of 10 for the 10 dollar steak. My only critisism is that there may have been a touch too much of the jus, but it was definately no big deal. It was absolutely superb, and I'm not just saying that because I want a free one next time! So do yourself and your friends a favour and check it out, you will most likely not be disappointed. With the open mic 'contestants' however, I make no guarantees! ;)
