Some of the time, just a steak will do. At the point when you're craving for some genuine, substantial goodness, there truly is only one weapon of decision. Here in Riyadh, we are honoured with various steakhouses that will satisfy even the hungriest of carnivores. Furthermore, whichever cut you like the best – T-bone, hatchet, filet mignon or rib-eye – your next nibble of husky splendour is rarely far away.
1. Florya Steak Lounge
The splendid brainchild of Etçi Mehmet, Florya Steak Lounge takes Turkish motivation to give perhaps the best restaurant in Riyadh. The spot simply overflows cool with its smooth style and hand-blown glass lighting. Indeed, even the foliage adds a feeling of newness to this lively scene. The reality presents a scope of burgers, chicken, sheep, and kebabs imply your companions who aren't in the disposition for prime meat (what planet are they on?) are likewise cooked for. However, where here for the steak and just the steak (all things considered, perhaps a few chips). Also, Florya truly knows a great deal about these excellent slices – consistently cooked flawlessly, in every case genuinely succulent.

2. Gurkan Sef Steakhouse
Another great Istanbul import, Gürkan Şef Steakhouse, brings the vision of the culinary specialist whose name it bears to the tables of Riyadh. This isn't your average steak joint, as a quick look at the menu will demonstrate to you. The Turkish sheep contributions are well deserving of notice, similar to the sheer assortment of veal choices accessible. At whatever point we go into Gürkan Şef's home, we need his wagyu (medium-uncommon, thanks much). The culinary specialist likes to carry a touch of theatre to his place, and for that, we'd generously suggest the Gürkan Şef Vay – a veal tenderloin cooked at your table in supreme style. It's large enough to take care of two or one of your more greedy companions who has starved themselves for the event.

3. Porterhouse
We'll generally uphold a local brand here at Time Out, and Porterhouse is undoubtedly one of those we can completely get behind. Borne out of a craving to bring the Saudi individuals some splendid hamburger, entirely dry matured in-house in a stripped-down, mechanical stylish style scene, this Riyadh joint consistently hits the spot. The gourmet specialists at Porterhouse invest wholeheartedly in every piece of meat they cook in the wood-terminated barbecue imported right from Argentina. The excellent steaks they serve come from Australia, Japan and Korea. What's more, given the name of the spot, we figure it would be inconsiderate not to bring a companion along to share one of the Australian Angus Porterhouses, dry matured for 60 days and overflowing with flavour.

4. Steak House
An American-motivated restaurant serving Saudi Arabia for a fourth of a century, Steak House has no airs and graces. Simply investigate its name: straightforward and does precisely what it says on the tin. While we could never turn down a rib-eye any place we go (we simply believe it's best), in case you're feeling especially flush, you can push the boat out for the 'Reef and Beef' alternative. For SAR229, you'll get either a rib-eye, tenderloin or New York striploin of premium Black Angus alongside two goliath dark tiger shrimps; you essentially will not have the option to oppose attacking when your plate hits the table.

5. Sultan's Steakhouse
Meatballs, burgers and sheep hacks. All phenomenal by their own doing; however, when you go to a steakhouse, certainly there's only one thing you ought to arrange (aside from a beverage to wash it down with). At Sultan's Steakhouse, you could pick the meat filet, which we hear is decent. However, when there's an entrecôte, T-bone, 'XXX-huge porterhouse' and mighty 1.1kg hatchet on the menu, we honestly would recommend releasing your belts (and your tote strings). Ostensibly perhaps the best cut Sultan's serves up is the Asado short rib, which they'll acquire your parts sufficiently large to take care of four individuals only, so there's no food envy going on at all.

6.Texas Roadhouse
Fun certainty: the widely acclaimed brand Texas Roadhouse was brought into the world in Clarksville, Indiana, and not in the Lone Star State by any means. In any case, don't allow its somewhat deceptive moniker to put you off truly relaxing and yelling 'Yeehaw' with each nibble of steak you delve into here (OK, perhaps you can murmur it once – you're here to eat, not irritate your neighbours). The most excellent selling steak on the menu is the USDA Choice Sirloin, and for once, we'd need to concur with the well-known vote. We love the reality every one of the servings of mixed greens and sides is produced using scratch at Texas Roadhouse. We additionally love the free pail of peanuts for each table. Liberality never tasted so great.

7. The Butcher Shop and Grill
This spot is a genuine foundation among South Africa's steakhouses. It initially showed up on Sandton, Johannesburg, path back in 1961 and had been pressing them in on Nelson Mandela Square from that point forward. In the proprietors' endless insight, they chose to extend activities to the Middle East, and we're amazingly thankful that they did. This family-run steakhouse, butchers and store all folded into one uses hands-down the best and freshest fixings to carry a grin to the essences of every individual who visits. Abnormally, the steaks here are Australian; however, we're not to whine, mainly when our blades run so quickly through the substance. The Black Onyx (a 300 days grain-took care of Black Angus) is the perfectly marbled ruler of the menu close by 450 days grain-took care of Ranger Valley wagyu. If you've brought the entire group, possibly request a combo supper, which incorporates a Top Butt sirloin, sheep hacks, meat ribs, chicken bosom, boerewors, tiger prawns and onion rings. Well, that is a dining .
