Thinking that a steak is just a steak could possibly be, well, a mistake. There are several elements that go into producing a truly mouth-watering dish, including the cut of the beef, where the steaks are from and even what's fuelling the grill. Brawn Steakhouse has found a combination of all three that could hit the right note for meat lovers.

Part of their secret lies with US Black Cherry Wood. Normally used for expensive carpentry and furniture, Brawn throws it on their grill where high temperatures seal in the juices of the meat while adding a distinctive, very rich smoky flavour that really adds a different dimension to the taste of the steak.

The restaurant also offers diners unconventional cuts of meat, including the cube roll and wagyu D-rump. Their speciality though, is the dry aged rib eye that's been hung for 21 days in a controlled environment and can only be done to beef of the highest grade, with high, even marbling. Dry aging breaks down the tough connective tissues in the beef, resulting in a steak that's more concentrated in flavour and extremely tender. You might enjoy the flavours so much that you'll want to skip the sauces that come with each steak.

They have sourced carefuly - traditional cuts like fillet mignon and rib eye are from Meyer Angus or Angus Certified, corn fed cattle from the United States. Tenderloin and short ribs are chosen from Diamantina, which are 100-day grain fed Australian cattle.

But Brawn is not just a place for those who love meats as they also have a selection of seafood such as the 72-hour marinated fresh Norwegian salmon and black mussels. The broth for the mussels is so delightful, you can't help but use the bread to soak it up so you won't waste a single drop.

Keep in mind though, that you'll want to save space for dessert, because the tarte fine is quite fine indeed. The apple is tender while the accompanying vanilla bean ice cream is a wonderful way to end the meal.
