Steak.... Argentinian style!


I'm a month late, but thought it worthy to still post our Valentine's Day dinner at Pampas Steakhouse in Alpharetta.

Our first trip was last year, for the annual work dinner. And we discovered quite the gem in our suburban midst. In an unassuming strip mall in North Fulton, these folks really know meats, wines, and the most divine sides. It was without hesitation we book it for our mid-week Valentine's dinner.

We ordered the Argentinian grilled meat plate, essentially chicken, homemade sausages, skirt steak, and short ribs, carved tableside and wonderful sides of grilled asparagus, cipollini onions, and sauteed wild mushrooms. I would say that my favorites were the skirt steak, cooked a hair under medium, and those juicy mushrooms.

It's definitely worth the trip, especially if you want a nice cut of meat from a non-chain restaurant by folks who really know how to treat beef. The flavor is just wonderful.
