Fancy a steak dinner that won’t break the bank?
Well you’re in luck, because Dillinger’s in Ranelagh have announced that Wednesdays are now, “Steak Wednesdays”. And what’s more they’re offering their new menu at the savage price of €21 all night long!
I was invited along to the launch, and couldn’t wait to sink my teeth into some juicy cuts of meat.
Rhubarb Flip
The Chicago born cocktail uses rhubarb and rosemary to delicious effect.
Summer cocktails are back on the menu at Dillinger’s and nothing says summer more than rhubarb and strawberry cocktails.
I kicked things off with a tequila based, Strawberry Switchblade garnished with floating cracked pepper. The pepper added a kick of spice, to the sweet strawberry flavour.
The mid-week pocket-friendly deal includes the following:
Choice of USDA Black Angus 10oz cut
Ribeye
Striploin
Hanger
Choice of Sauce
Béarnaise
Peppercorn
Chimichurri
BBQ
Choice of Potato
Chips
French Fries
Paris Mash
Ribeye
Striplion
Hanger
After some cocktails and chats, it was time to channel my carnivorous side and dig into some delicious cuts of meat.
I don’t know if there’s anything more tasty than a good steak and I got to sample all three cuts on the night. Each cut was succulent and delicious, but if I had to order just one, I think it would have to be the Hanger for me.
The long, relatively thin cut known as hanger steak or the “butcher’s steak, was seasoned with a mixture of flavours. It was crispy on the outside and tender and succulent on the inside. There was no need for any added sauces, each bite was perfectly seasoned.
Pear & Apple Crumble
Creme anglaise, pistachio ice cream & brittle €7
Dessert is not included in the deal, but I’m a sucker for something sweet after my main course. I opted for the Pear & Apple Crumble. The pastry was perfect, as my fellow foodie, Niamh (Gourmet Grazing) mentioned, there were no “soggy bottoms’ in sight. The base had a super-crisp crust and the brittle was simply scrumptious.
Bread & Butter Pudding
Dolce de leche, vanilla whipped cream €7
Ranelagh has long had a reputation of being a food-lover’s mecca with dozens of neighbourhood and destination eateries. In six years Dillinger’s has become a neighbourhood institution and synonymous with quality food, great value and excellent, friendly service.
