Wild juicy steak 200g
Today I really felt like eating meat, especially chunks of meat like steak.
I want to eat a hearty meal, but lately steaks have gotten quite expensive when eaten out...
It's becoming common for food to cost more than 2,000 yen, but I want to eat steak but don't want to spend that much money...
At that time, I remembered the option ``Pepper Lunch”.
In addition to their signature beef pepper rice, Pepper Lunch also offers other chunks of meat such as steak and hamburgers.
I immediately visited and found out ``Wild juicy steak 200g (1,640 yen)” was selected.
You hand over your meal ticket, and in about 3 minutes your number will be called and you can pick it up.
As you can see, the steaks are served raw, so they are served very quickly.
Garnishes are corn and broccoli.
The iron plate is piping hot, so you can grill the meat to your liking.
You will be provided with tongs for handling the raw meat, so it is perfect for hygiene.
It will heat up in about 1 to 2 minutes while turning it over.
Of course, refrain from eating food that is not fully cooked.
The iron plate is hot enough to cook the steak deep inside, but if you ask the staff, they will reheat the iron plate for you.
Well then, let's have it.
It has a good balance of lean and fatty meat, and the flavor of the meat is strong.
Although the meat is mostly lean, it doesn't give the impression of being tough.
As for the fat, it wasn't too fatty like Wagyu beef, and personally I felt it had just the right amount of seasoning.
Thank you for the delicious meal.
This time I only wanted to eat the steak, so I didn't include rice or anything else.
Of course, the menu includes rice, salad, miso soup, etc., so please feel free to use whatever you prefer.
Impressions and Rating
Pepper Lunch successfully satisfied my desire to eat a chunk of meat.
If you can eat 200g for 1,640 yen, I think it's still relatively cheap in these days of price hikes.
Previously, it was in the same series.Suddenly! steak' About five years ago, 300g of wild steak was the same price, so you can clearly feel the price hike...
Well, when it comes to price increases, it's not just Pepper Lunch or the steak industry...
This is a recommended restaurant if you want to eat steak for less than 2,000 yen.
