Where to Satisfy Your Steak Cravings on a Budget

Who doesn’t love steak? The aroma, the sizzle, the bold, meaty flavor, and all the tasty sides—from creamy mashed potatoes and buttered veggies to fresh salads or mac and cheese. The problem: A steak day is usually reserved for special occasions… until now. 

At SM, you don’t have to wait for payday to indulge in a meat-fest or treat your loved ones to their favorite beefy cuts. Any day can be a “foodie” day, more so with SM Supermalls’ Grand Food Fest happening until September 30! (Check out all the perks and treats you can enjoy here.)

For now, allow us to satisfy your carnivorous cravings with our list of budget-friendly steak places you can visit for an AweSMFoodTrip!

If you’re dining with the fam, get more bang for your buck with the Meat Platter 1 (₱1,520), which includes porkchops, pork BBQ ribs, roast beef belly, and grilled chicken, and served with rice, drinks, and sides good for five.

Don’t forget this reliable, consistent “fast steak” classic from Japan, known for their buttery rice that kids love. While their Pepper Rice meals are no-fail picks—and are easy on the pocket—you ought to give their Premium Steaks a try. They have Pepper Steak (Australian Striploin), ₱625, the Tokusen Ribeye Steak, ₱665, and The Giant (Australian Ribeye), ₱717. Just add ₱60 to upgrade from plain rice to mixed pepper rice!

This classic resto may be more known for their ribs, but they’ve got a premium US Ribeye that’s worth coming back for (and spending a bit more on!): the 8-oz cut costs ₱995, while the 12-oz is priced at ₱1,575. Packed with intense flavor and generous marbling, the steak comes with two regular side dishes and grilled tomatoes. If you’re on a tight budget, though, there’s always the Steak Blue Plate (grilled steak with two sides) for only ₱495!
