[Review] Savour the Artwork of Steak at Beast Duxton

Positioned at Duxton Hill, Beast Restaurant and Bar is a contemporary steakhouse with stylish bar vibes, specialising in grilled steak and meat dishes, impressed by established steakhouse names in North America.

The restaurant space is tucked behind the bar for a extra personal eating expertise. The eating room is decked with uncovered brick partitions and leather-based banquettes, exuding the appeal of conventional steakhouses.

Helmed by Chef Muhamad, previously of Santi Marina Bay Sands, Bam!, Gaig Singapore, and Park Grill in Kuala Lumpur, Beast’s delicacies is centred round a specifically designed grill and their very own mixture of Binchotan charcoal, Oak wooden and Lychee wooden.

Distinctive to Beast is their intensive vary of various cuts of meat, starting from Sanchoku Australian Grain Fed Wagyu Picanha ($68, 300g), Margaret River Australian Wagyu Tenderloin ($58, 180g) to Miyazaki Japanese A5 Wagyu Ribeye ($108, 200g).

If you need to style a little bit of every part from their signature meats, the Beast Tasting Platter ($188, 800g) and Beast Wagyu Tasting Platter ($228, 800g) which contains 200g cuts of 4 several types of beef, are excellent for sharing.

We had been invited for a dinner tasting and these had been the objects we sampled:

All the mains and appertisers had been placed on the grill in a method or one other, together with the bone marrow, smoked burrato and grilled cauliflower, testimonial to how confidental the kitchen should be with their proprietary grill and strategies.

I loved the cauliflower dish which isn’t solely fantastically to have a look at, however pack a slight spicy kick with the Harissa dressing, paired properly to the crunch from the kale chips.

For the steak predominant, the Potoro beef is antibiotic and GMO free, coming from licensed grain-fed British breed beef that has been raised in a pure and sustainable method. It’s tender and served very calmly charred.

The grilled pigeon was an attention-grabbing dish for me. I’ve tried pigeon meat earlier than, however the one at Beast is served barely crimson, with a touch of gamey, smoky flavour for added punch. The meat is deboned so it’s simple to eat and the pores and skin is crisp for an additional crunch. Assume duck meat somewhat than rooster. That is an alternate for many who wish to order one thing else apart from steaks.

To finish on a candy word, there are two desserts to select from – a chocolate cake or a flan. I desire one thing much less candy and I like my chocolate dishes bitter. Beast’s 72% Chocolate Cake is ideal for me and I’d extremely advocate it.

Beast additionally employs dry-ageing, a course of by which giant cuts of beef are aged for anyplace from a number of weeks to a number of months earlier than being trimmed and reduce into steaks. Along with the normal strategy of dry-ageing, Beast experiments with completely different kinds of dry-ageing together with Whisky, Koji and Mushroom Dry-Aged. We didn’t do that, however diners are welcome to pre-select a slab of beef to dry age to your specs and when accomplished to get pleasure from it at Beast as a part of a 5-course meal for a personalized eating expertise.

For drinks, the cocktail program is curated by Jesse Vida, previously of award successful bar Atlas, and features a vary of traditional cocktails with a contemporary twist. The Pavlova Martini we sampled was completely delightly, serving up a traditional Australian dessert in a cocktail glass.

The wine record at Beast consists of roughly 100 labels consists of Outdated World and New World wines, starting from biodynamic and natural wines, grower champagnes, award-winning wineries to boutique outfits, in addition to sustainable wines.

All in all, a fantastic place for steak and different grilled delights in a extra personal setting with a superb choice of cocktails and wines.
