How To Order the Best Steak At Mac's Chophouse

Mac’s Chophouse is known well amongst the Marietta Square restaurants for exceptional steaks that are sure to please. With a wide selection of some of the best steak cuts, picking the right one for you can be a challenge when it’s time to order. We’ve put together a small guide to help you choose the best steak for yourself while you’re dining at our renowned steakhouse.

Pick Your Type of Steak

One of the first things you should know when you’re learning how to order steak is to know what kinds are offered, and if they suit your preferences. Here are some of the cuts that Mac’s Chophouse has to offer:

Filet Mignon

A filet mignon is considered to be one of the most tender pieces of beef available. With minimal fat and marbling, the meat is very lean but incredibly soft. The buttery tenderness of the meat melts in your mouth. If you’re prioritizing tenderness, then our 8oz filet mignon is a great option.

Ribeye

When you’re in the mood for a robust flavor profile and plenty of marbling, the ribeye is a prime choice. Cuts like our prime bone-in ribeye or our prime Delmonico ribeye are juicy sections that are full of rich flavor. 

Strip Steak

If you want a balance of tenderness and rich flavor, strip steak may be the cut for you. Coming from the loin, they carry a full beef flavor, while also being fairly tender. Our prime New York strip and prime dry-aged KC strip both offer this flavorful profile.

Wagyu Beef

For the finest kind of indulgence, you may wish to set your eyes on our domestic wagyu strip steak. This cut is from specially bred cattle that have incredible marbling and flavor, resulting in a piece of steak that melts in your mouth like butter. 

Choose Your Steak’s Doneness

Once you decide on one of our best steak cuts, you’ll want to choose how you want it cooked. Here is a guideline to the doneness of a steak:

• 
  Rare - Bright red, cool center
• Medium Rare - A warm and red center with a hint of pink
• Medium - A hot pink center throughout
• Medium Well- Only a hint of pink in the center
• Well Done - No pink meat remaining

The longer a steak is cooked, the tougher and drier the meat can become. For most steaks, an optimal option is medium rare, as it provides a good balance of tender and juicy flavor. Filet mignon can be cooked slightly more without losing the balance, though. 

Enhance Your Steak

If you’re looking to enrich your steak with something unique, we offer delicious enhancements! For a rich surf and turf element, you can add our grilled jumbo shrimp, pan-seared scallops, or Maine lobster tail. You can also add an extra richness to your tender steak with our marrow-herb compound butter for remarkable flavor.

Round Out Your Meal

To complete your meal, Mac’s Chophouse offers amazing sides from our delicious dinner menu. We have sides like our decadent Maine lobster mac & cheese, and blistered jumbo asparagus, and sauteed baby spinach. All of our sides are perfectly tailored to enhance your steak meal.
