Two of steak's most appealing attributes are its simplicity and diversity. Match your favourite of the many excellent cuts of beef (cooked exactly to your liking) with the sides of your choice and a fresh jus or gravy. Simple and delicious. Most steak diners are satisfied with exactly this. There is however, a minority of Australia's steak eaters who can never get too much of a good thing. Your typical 300 gram steak and sides just isn't enough to satisfy the most carnivorous of Melbourne's steak eaters. These are the types who drive the small but worthy big steak market.

The big steak market caters predominantly for those who prefer quantity over quality. We're talking about those who are chasing a 1kg rump or T-Bone over a premium 250 gram scotch fillet. The difficulty for these types is the scarcity of restaurants and steakhouses that offer cuts large enough to satisfy these monster appetites.

So where can Melbourne's big steak eaters sink their teeth into an appropriately large and meaty steak?

The following 5 restaurants and steakhouses offer real deal big steaks that are guaranteed to satiate the quantity carnivore.

[SECTION]Ribs & Rumps (Preston)[/SECTION]


Ribs and Rumps kicks off the list of Melbourne's biggest steaks with a mammoth 1kg rump at an affordable price. If you can safely chew your way through this hunk of meat and feel like you still have room for more, Ribs & Rumps also offer the 'Meat your Match' challenge. The challenge consists of polishing off the aforementioned 1kg rump, a full rack of ribs AND 2 servings of chips. Definitely not for the faint hearted.

The Railway Club Hotel 's signature Rib-Eye may weigh in at the lower end of the big steak scale, but it's still sure to satisfy Melbourne's biggest carnivores.

The highly regarded La Luna Bistro in the iconic Carlton dining area adds a massive T-Bone to Melbourne's big steak options.
