Six Pack: Steaks Without the Steakhouse Price
Posted by Aubrey Nagle on August 21st, 2012
If you’ve ever craved a steakhouse dinner on a diner budget then you know it can be pretty tough to find a quality, affordable steak. Here are six Philadelphia restaurants with inexpensive steak dinners to satisfy the biggest meat lover.
$10 Rib Eye for Lunch
Every Friday at lunch Chris’ Jazz Café serves a rib eye with pinot noir sauce, fries (or a salad, if you like that sort of thing) and a soda for $10. This is a deal made for taking Friday afternoons off.
Chris’ Jazz Café (Center City) 1421 Sansom Street 215-568-3131Filet Mignon at a Deli
Right on 15th and Locust Schlesinger’s does classic deli eats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For $18.95 you can try their boneless rib eye or their 8oz filet mignon before or after a show on the Avenue of the Arts.
Schlesinger’s Restaurant and Deli (Center City) 1521 Locust Street 215-735-7305Steaks at the Italian Market
At Café 943, the Argentine-Italian BYO in the heart of the Italian Market, you’ll find four different steaks for under $18. The choice is yours between skirt steak, marinated grilled steak, breaded beef cutlet, and Piedmontese strip steak.
Café 943 (Italian Market) 943 S. 9th Street 267-687-2675Nick Elmi’s Hanger Steak
Though pricier than other selections on the list the prime creekstone hangar steak at Rittenhouse Tavern is worth the relative splurge just to test drive Nick Elmi’s three-bell fare.
Rittenhouse Tavern (Rittenhouse) 251 S. 18th Street 215-732-2412Skirt on East Passyunk
George Sabatino and Stateside have hit a lucky streak as of late. We wonder why Anthony Bourdain did not try out the Pineland Farms skirt steak with watermelon-beet salad, blue cheese and Stateside’s famous pickles for just $22.
Stateside (East Passyunk) 1536 East Passyunk Avenue 215-551-2500McCrossen’s Steak Frites
If you are uninterested in the Summer of Riesling at McCrossen’s Tavern’s you may at least want to try the steak frites: hanger steak, chorizo-rosemary potatoes, and chimichurri for $21.
McCrossen’s Tavern (Fairmount) 529 N. 20th Street 215-854-0923Related Tags: 943, Chris' Jazz Cafe, East-Passyunk, Foobooz Six Packs, George Sabatino, Italian-Market, McCrossens-Tavern, Nick Elmi, Rittenhouse Tavern, Rittenhouse-Square, Schlesinger's, Six-Pack, Stateside, Steak, Steakhouse
