I should've expected it after seeing the painted portrait of a cow that hung beside the main entrance and also on the menu. A few red flags should have been raised after seeing their menu listed 11 different types of steak, ranging from wagyu, grain-fed, and grass-fed. And even with my brother's continued insistence that Rockpool's steak is one of the top five steaks he's ever had (he certainly takes his beef seriously), I was still slightly unconvinced about it being that good. This is also despite the fact that Rockpool is one of the restaurants of universally acclaimed Australian chef (and Iron Chef) Neil Perry.
What can I say? I'm a little slow on the uptake. All doubts I had about their steak were quashed after this rotisserie wagyu steak served with chimchurri sauce. The medium-rare beef was unbelievably tender and full of flavour. I could've eaten it as it was, but the chimchurri sauce added just a bit of flavour without overpowering the taste of the beef. I may not be a chairman Kaga, I'm pretty certain about whose cuisine reigns supreme.
