The Apple of My (rib)Eye The French know their way around a steak, and @langelus.sg are steak savants. They have three different cuts of steak, and my father couldnāt resist the allure of the 300 gram Black Angus EntrecĆ“te (Ribeye, $60++). I mean, can you blame him after looking at this beautiful beef?ā
ā
The steak sports the aesthetically pleasing diamond grill marks on top of a satisfactory sear, and it was served medium rare, flirting dangerously close to rare territory. That was some masterful work from the chef, and the Black Angus steak certainly impressed. Seasoned superbly yet simply, the beef was tremendously tender and required minimal effort to cut & chew.ā
ā
The accoutrements were a fantastic fit for the steak. The sautĆ©ed mushrooms were outstanding with their salty, meaty chewiness, and were a capable complement to the stellar steak. The potato gratin was superbly seasoned, and it was soft and fluffy right down the middle of all those layers. Each layer is breathtakingly buttery too, so this little rectangle of potato is utterly piquant.ā
ā
Unfortunately, even though the French are renowned for their saucy sensibilities, the red wine sauce served along with the steak was a disappointment. It was too thin and was lacking in salt, and sure I fully understand that itās no bordelaise sauce, I was expecting a bit more flair from the sauce.ā

Even though the sauce was sadly subpar, the entrecƓte was still exquisitely enchanting. Sixty bucks is quite pricey, but the unquestionable quality is most certainly worth the splurge for a special occasion, or as an extravagant indulgence.
