The Ultimate Guide to Steaks in Honolulu

There’s nothing more satisfying than a thick, perfectly seasoned cut of quality steak.  The extracted beefiness, tender chew, and pops of salt make every moment rewarding.  Throw in a variety of feeds, some wet or dry aging, and a selection of thoughtfully crafted sauces, and you have a Hedonistic experience begging for a nice bottle of wine.  This is our guide to some of the best steaks on the island at  different price points to satisfy any budget.

 

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse

Using only corn-fed USDA Prime beef dry-aged in-house for 28 days, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse slices their meat thick before placing them in a broiler at 1600 degrees Fahrenheit. The result is an exceptional steak with butter and natural juices adding to the superior flavor. Consider having the Porterhouse, which offers portions for up to four hungry diners. After all, proprietor Wolfgang Zweiner was the head waiter at Peter Luger’s so he may know a thing or two about serving a great steak. And if you are seeking a good deal, check out the happy hour on the outdoor lanai featuring specially-priced bites, including The Taste of New York, a prix fixe dinner spotlighting a 12-ounce bone-in dry-aged New York sirloin accompanied by spinach and mashed potatoes, with a New York cheesecake for dessert.
