Chuckanut Bay New York cheesecake bites with whiskey caramel sauce, fresh berries, toasted pecans, and port berry sauce

We love pairing a New York Striploin with sauteed mushrooms for earthy flavors that enhance the steak. Keeping with the New York theme, try our Chuckanut Bay New York cheesecake bites with whiskey caramel sauce, fresh berries, toasted pecans, and port berry sauce for dessert (shown below).

New York Striploin



Filet mignon is best paired with garlic mashed gold potatoes that match the filet’s tenderness with creamy richness. Roasted garlic brussels sprouts add a slight crunch and robust flavor, and we also love to serve filet with asparagus. Crème Brûlée is a light and creamy delicate end to the meal.

Filet Mignon



Garlic mashed potatoes complement the ribeye’s marbling with rich and creamy flavors. Grilled asparagus also adds a slightly bitter, fresh contrast. For dessert, try our chocolate cake; the rich chocolate pairs well with the ribeye's beefy flavor.

Pairing the right sides, desserts, and beverages with your steak enhances the dining experience, bringing out the best in each cut's unique flavors and textures. Our pairing recommendations come from years of experience perfecting steak meals for our guests.



Perfect Pairings with Steak


The New York Strip is a popular choice for steak lovers. It’s located behind the cow's ribs, leading to a tender and flavorful cut. It has a firmer texture compared to the ribeye. We serve a New York Striploin with roasted red pepper butter, garlic mashed gold potatoes, and vegetables, giving you the perfect steak meal for any occasion.

Filet mignon is part of the tenderloin, a small muscle near the backbone. It’s extremely tender with a mild flavor and very lean. We love to top our tender filet mignon with roasted garlic butter with thyme and shallot. It’s also served with garlic mashed gold potatoes and fresh vegetables. It’s a must-try next time you visit us!

Ribeye steak is taken from the rib section of the cow (between the shoulder and loin). It’s tender and juicy, and often considered one of the most flavorful cuts. Our 14 oz boneless ribeye, paired with garlic mashed gold potatoes, tarragon glaze, and fresh potatoes, will fulfill your steak cravings.

Chef’s Steak Recommendations


Steak cuts come from various parts of the cow, each offering distinct flavors, textures, and levels of tenderness. To an untrained eye, the cuts might look the same, but our chef knows they are all quite different. Understanding different steak cuts can help you choose the perfect steak meal for you, depending on your flavor preferences. Our qualified waitstaff can also make a great suggestion if you’re undecided.



Types of Steak Cuts


Have you ever been served an undercooked or overcooked steak? Sometimes, it comes down to knowing what to ask for; understanding the doneness levels of steak helps in selecting the perfect steak preparation to suit your taste preferences, ensuring a satisfying dining experience every time. 

This is what each level of steak doneness means:
  • Rare: Bright red center, cooler temperature, very soft and tender
  • Medium-Rare: Warm red center, firm on the outside and tender on the inside
  • Medium: Warm pink center, rich beef flavor with a good balance of moisture and firmness
  • Medium-Well: Slightly pink center but more browned throughout, firm with a slight chew and less juicy
  • Well-Done: Fully cooked through with no pink, very firm, and can be dry




Achieving the Perfect Steak Doneness

We all crave the perfect steak meal once in a while. As a steak and chop house, we know a thing or two about achieving the ideal steak doneness, types of steak cuts, and the best wine pairings. Our guests love the elevated restaurant experience, and we’re going to share some of our knowledge with you. You’ll know just what to ask for the next time you visit us.
