Which steak for which dad. A short guide from behind the counter.
Talks about marbling: scotch fillet. He wants the fat running through it, and he will tell you why while it rests.
Likes it lean, no fuss: eye fillet. Tender, quick, hard to get wrong.
Thinks he is a chef: tomahawk. It is theatre, and he will put it on his phone before he eats it.
Just wants a proper feed: rump cap. Underrated, big flavour, best value on the board.
Cooks for everyone else: a rolled and tied roast. Feeds the table, and he gets to carve it.
Not sure which one he is? Tell us the dad and we'll tell you the cut. We've been doing this a while.
