Frank's Steakhouse currently has three outlets in Shanghai. The owner of the restaurant has studied cooking in Italy, France and the United States, and loves to study American top steaks, and has a wealth of professional steak knowledge. With more than ten years of solid cooking experience, he personally serves as the head chef of the restaurant. The large, delicious and cost-effective steak is not only sought after by the public, but also attracts stars from all walks of life such as Sun Honglei, Nicholas Tse, Sun Li, and Wang Xinling to check in at the store. It is one of the most popular and cost-effective steakhouses in Shanghai.
As a professional American steakhouse, the restaurant has high-value custom-made dry-aging cabinets. The steak volatilizes blood and water in a constant temperature and humidity environment to retain the gravy, although the loss is large, but the skin of the steak grilled in this way is burnt and fragrant, and the aroma and meat taste are stronger. There are two types of beef: Australian purebred Wagyu cattle and Canadian Angus grain-fed AAA cattle. The boss insists on using imported grain-fed beef, refuses to be grass-fed indefinitely, and each piece has undergone strict quality certification. The ultra-high temperature oven imported from the United States has a high temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius, which can instantly lock in the moisture and aroma of the beef, so that the steak can keep the steak charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat is juicy. The grilled steak is served on a plate at 200 degrees Celsius and cut by the waiter on the spot. As a result, diners can eat a delicious steak in the first place, and it can also keep the steak at a temperature that doesn't get cold, prolonging the meal. Although the price of the restaurant is only one-third of the price of a high-end steakhouse, the whole set of steak cooking configuration is comparable to that of a high-end steakhouse, which shows the intention and sincerity of the restaurant owner to focus on cost-effective steaks.
The restaurant's signature is the Australian Wagyu M8 bone-in eye, which has been dry-aged for 21 days, and you can see the grilled grid when served. The fat and thin snowflakes melt into the lean meat after being heated, and the flesh sticking to the bone edge is charred and fragrant. The steak is generous, the meat is generous, and it spreads out the size of a palm. Cut with a knife, you can see the pink flesh color, the entrance is soft and plump, and accompanied by a rich milky aroma. Another Angus AAA grade beef eye meat is taken from the rib ridge of Angus cattle. The content of fat and thin oil flowers is moderate, and medium-rare is the most fragrant degree of ripeness for frying and roasting. The meat slices are thin and easy to cut, smooth and fragrant in the mouth, the juice is abundant but not fatty, and the taste is fresh. There are five kinds of side dishes for steaks: mashed potatoes, creamy baked potatoes, grilled tomatoes, baked zucchini, and grilled mushrooms, and the price is between 18~28 yuan, which is quite affordable.
In addition to steaks, the restaurant also has a lot of good and affordable pizzas, burgers, and other food. The Double Cheese Beef & Bacon Burger is a satisfying choice for cheese meat lovers, and the sandwich bread is handmade and freshly baked. The whole burger is the size of the palm of your hand, and the double cheese is doubly guilty, but it is impossible for cheese fanatics to give up. The double meat combination of beef and bacon is enjoyable at once, and the portion is full. The limited-edition Frank Foie Gras Pizza has a unique taste and is a bold yet unique flavour that blends foie gras into pizza. Salmon prawn salad with fatty fillets and a fresh mouthfeel. Served with fresh tomatoes and garden vegetables, it is served with steak to relieve greasyness.
The first Frank steakhouse, hidden at No. 1107 Yuyuan Road, is a single-family two-storey 800-square-meter bungalow, which is one of the well-known century-old buildings in Shanghai. The interior of the restaurant reflects a strong retro American Eastern style, with many colorful murals that vividly reproduce the appearance of an American steakhouse in the 70s. The overall environment of the restaurant is both rugged and delicate in the American style, and it is the first choice for many couples and friends to meet and dine in Shanghai.
