Steaks,
whether grilled or broiled, grass or grain fed, are one of life´s great
comforts. L.A. has become a hub for fantastic beef in a variety of cuts, served
in settings that range from old school to positively luxurious. Los Angeles
might not have the long legacy of steakhouses as a city like Chicago or New
York, or the pedigree of Texas steak culture, but the offerings in this town
are as excellent as you´d find elsewhere.
While
Angelenos don´t tend to get as caught up in long dry aging, the products surrounding
the steak are likely to be as delicious as you´d find in other fine
restaurants, from the produce and desserts all the way down the wine
selections. Like any other city, steakhouses are always going to be the go-to
option for an elevated dining experience that´ll please a crowd, even non
meat-eaters. Here now, the 24 essential Los Angeles steakhouses, presented
alphabetically.
4. Bourbon Steak
Michael Mina’s steakhouse at The
Americana at Brand features a marble countered café up front, dining room with
sumptuous tan booths and drum-shaped lanterns, and live piano music.
Considering each meal comes with complimentary duck fat fries and a trio of
dipping sauces, expectations start high. Bourbon Steak keeps sauces simple,
with classics like green peppercorn and Bearnaise, but go big on accompaniments
like herb-roasted bone marrow and blue cheese crust. Is that a Japanese whisky
cart that just passed by? Yes it is, so order up a dram.
