All 34 Beef Dishes

True Ribeye

The Surf Club Restaurant

Surfside·$$$$

$62.00

Prime-grade ribeye cooked to order with béarnaise sauce and seasonal vegetables.

Tip: If you're uncertain about the Wellington, the ribeye is an excellent alternative — simple, refined, and reliable.

Individual Steak — 14-ounce Ribeye

Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann

Miami Beach·$$$$

$78.00

Prime ribeye cooked over open fire, finished with Maldon salt and Argentine parsley.

Tip: A 14-ounce steak is substantial — order it if you want to keep the meal to yourself, or ask for it to be finished tableside for the theater.

Blueberry Filet

Swan

Design District·$$$

$42.00

Grilled filet mignon with blueberry gastrique, seasonal vegetables, and red wine jus.

Tip: Swan's signature beef dish — the blueberry glaze is an unexpected twist that actually works. Perfect for a celebration dinner.

Short Ribs (Galbi)

COTE Miami

Design District·$$$

$44.00

Marinated short ribs with a sweet soy glaze, tender and deeply flavored.

Tip: Cook these quickly — just until the glaze caramelizes. Overcooked galbi becomes tough. Your server will guide you if it's your first time.

Miami Beach·$$$$

$8.00

Hand-made pastries filled with seasoned beef, cheese, and chimichurri — served warm with chimichurri sauce.

Tip: Order the empanadas as your appetizer — they're the most affordable item on the menu and worth every penny.
