We've rounded up the top 10 spots for juicy steak in Scottsdale.
Bourbon Steak at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess
The Americano describes itself as “modern in approach, Italian in spirit,” with a unique menu that serves not just cuts like the gargantuan 40 oz porterhouse or dry-aged ribeye, but also Italian antipasti and Mediterranean seafood. Try their wildly popular specialty cocktail Versace on the Floor (serrano Fresno chili-infused vodka, Sonoran olive oil, coconut white balsamic, mesquite honey, basil-olive oil foam).
Bourbon & Bones Chophouse is known for its killer cocktails, bourbon selection, raw bar, and juicy steak, plus a prime rib dinner available on Sunday and Monday. Offerings include cuts like wagyu, filet mignon and 40-ounce prime tomahawk ribeye. Feeling especially opulent? The ZD Abacus Dinner option offers a handcrafted six-course meal, limo transportation and a three-liter bottle of the titular cabernet sauvignon.
Located in the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, Bourbon Steak blends homespun Americana with elegance and luxury in homage to the beautiful Sonoran desert. Led by executive chef Sara Garrant, the steakhouse is renowned for its delicious Mesquite-fired cuts, like the Japanese A5 wagyu ribeye, Mishima filet mignon and expansive cocktail and wine menus.
Dominick’s Steakhouse has mastered not just a classic tender cut of USDA prime, domestic and Japanese A5 wagyu, but also the unconventional, serving apps and side dishes like corn créme brulee and wagyu beef tartare. With shellfish and seafood flown in fresh daily from around the world and in-house master butcher cuts, the menu leaves little to be desired.
Located at The Phoenician and led by executive chef Jacques Qualin, J&G Steakhouse is always serving award-winning meats, globally procured seafood and spices, and local ingredients. Menu items include a grilled 24 oz prime porterhouse and a 30-ounce wagyu tomahawk ribeye. Opt into the Classic J&G Tasting Menu to try a bit of everything the menu has to offer.
Two-Michelin-star chef Danny Grant has created award-winning dining and wine menus. All dishes are wood-fired to perfection, with unique and delicious options including the Maple & Ash surf and turf (six-ounce filet, half lobster and truffle potato purée) and a 45-day dry-aged tomahawk. Paired with one of their cheekily named cocktails or a selection from the top-notch wine list, you can’t go wrong.
Nestled in the heart of downtown Scottsdale, Mastro’s Steakhouse City Hall is committed to upscale dining. With a formal dress code enforced and live music all week long, the atmosphere is swanky. The menu is extensive, with options like A5 Kobe beef and 35-day dry-aged Kansas City strip, sushi rolls and caviar.
Since 1969, the Preston family has honored its heritage of delicious, quality steak and hospitality. Led by chef Charles Schwerd, grandson of the restaurant’s namesake, Preston’s specializes in using Black Angus USDA prime cuts. It serves classics like the New York strip and innovative creations like Preston’s burger (ground tenderloin tip patty, Swiss cheese, fried onions, mayonnaise, and sliced prime rib).
Steak 44 delivers a highly personalized, elevated dining experience to each patron. Its menu features USDA Prime steaks, domestic and Australian wagyu, Japanese A5, and the very best seafood from all around the world. Watch the Steak 44 master chefs prepare your meal in the glassed-in exhibition kitchen as you enjoy the top-notch hospitality and atmosphere the steakhouse has become synonymous with.
