Prego
Prego, being an Italian joint, really isn't a place one would go to for steak. But as we found out the other day, their grilled beef fillet is easily one of the most value-for-money steaks around. There's only one cut of choice, and that's the tenderloin, which suited us just fine because this cut is known for its extremely tender qualities.
Prego's Tenderloin Beef Fillet ($42) is really huge, so it's best to share if you're a small eater. This was a lovely piece of red meat, tender without being too fatty, hearty with distinctively beefy flavours. This wasn't the Japanese type of beef, as it had a more robust smell and taste. A generous sprinkling of salt made the steak extremely tasty. A drizzle of red wine jus, savoury chick pea and carrot mash, and a bunch of crunchy green leafy vegetables completed the wonderfully satisfying dish.
I'm not as huge a fan of red meat as the Fiance is, and got the Catch-of-the-Day, a grilled Seabass Brazino ($37), fresh, mild and moist, topped with piquant salty capers, honey tomatoes, deep fried diced eggplant and a slathering of olive oil herb emulsion.
The Bread of the day was a crusty thyme scented baked doughnut roll.
I'm really liking Prego's Olive Tapenade Dip, the ricotta cheese balances out the tangy saltiness of the mashed green olives perfectly.
