Why pick one cut when you can try a few? Steak flights are giving Toronto’s steak lovers a chance to sample everything from buttery, marbled beef to leaner, beefier cuts in one sitting. If your idea of a good time involves a sizzling steak and a little friendly cut-to-cut comparison, these Toronto steakhouses are worth a look.
The Kensington Tavern
From the team behind Burdock Brewery, this Kensington tavern serves an 8 oz steak flight featuring bavette, Denver and flat iron cuts. It comes with chimichurri, but diners swear that the real move is mixing it into the steak jus for an extra hit of flavour. 184 Augusta Ave.
Anml Steakhouse
This glam, 70s-inspired steakhouse from INK Entertainment takes its Wagyu seriously. The Wagyu Trio lets you compare three 4 oz. striploin cuts from around the world: American Wagyu from Idaho’s Snake River Farms, Australian Tajima Wagyu from Andrews Meats in New South Wales, with an 8/10 marbling score, and Japanese A5 Wagyu from the Miyachiku Co-op in Miyazaki. The 12 oz lineup costs $260. 420 Wellington St. W.
Chop’s Butcher Board
Chop’s Butcher’s Board brings together three cuts in one seriously meaty spread, complete with house sauces, loaded mashed potatoes and sautéed mushrooms. It’s a hearty take on the tasting concept, with smoked ribeye, New York striploin and filet mignon all on the same board. 181 University Ave.
Blueblood Steakhouse
Set inside Casa Loma, BlueBlood offers a high-end Wagyu Tasting Flight that lets you sample three distinct 4oz cuts side-by-side. The flight features Mihima Reserve from the United States, an Australian MB9+ cut and rare Kagoshima A5 Wagyu from Japan. It offers a direct comparison between moderate marbling and intense richness. 1 Austin Terrace.
