At Squires Loft, steak isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply craving something extraordinary, choosing the right cut is key to unlocking the rich, bold flavours we’re known for.
To help you decide, here’s a simple guide to the legendary cuts you’ll find on the Squires Loft menu.
Understanding Your Steak
All steaks are not created equal — and that’s a good thing. Different cuts offer different textures, tenderness, and taste. At Squires Loft, our premium beef is sourced and aged for flavour, then flame-grilled to perfection over our signature baste.
What Are Steak Cuts?
The cut used to slice a selection of beef plays a critical role in how the unique flavours will turn out. This is primarily because the steaks come from different parts of the cow, and each cut brings out a distinct flavour profile. Steak cuts also influence the types of sides or sauces that best complement them.
Why the Cut Location Matters
Each cut location offers varying levels of tenderness and fat marbling, which directly affects taste and texture. At Squires Loft Camberwell, our team is trained to understand your preferences and help match you with the perfect cut.
Different muscles in the cow are used more or less frequently, and this affects how the meat cooks and tastes. Cuts from more tender areas often deliver a melt-in-your-mouth experience, while others offer a heartier, beefier flavour — both equally satisfying, depending on your palate.
Popular Squires Loft Steak Cuts
Eye Fillet
Our most tender cut — lean, buttery-soft, and best enjoyed rare to medium. Perfect for those who prefer a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Scotch Fillet
Rich in flavour with beautiful marbling throughout. This cut is juicy, full-bodied, and ideal for medium to well-done preferences.
Porterhouse
A leaner option with a bold, beefy taste. Great for steak lovers who like a little less fat but plenty of flavour.
T-Bone
The best of both worlds — tender eye fillet on one side and sirloin on the other. A classic favourite for those with a hearty appetite.
Ribs (Pork or Beef)
While not technically a steak, no Squires Loft experience is complete without our legendary ribs. Sticky, smoky, and addictive.
What to Consider When Choosing Your Cut
Cooking Style
Our steaks are flame-grilled and basted for bold flavour. Some cuts, such as scotch fillet and T-bone, hold up better to higher heat, while others, like eye fillet, are best with a gentler touch.
Flavour vs. Tenderness
If you love tender, go for the eye fillet. If you’re after big, bold flavour, try the scotch fillet or T-bone.
Portion Size
Feeling hungry? Our larger cuts, like the T-bone and rib combos, are ideal. After something lighter? Eye fillet or a smaller porterhouse may be just right.
Maximising Your Steak Experience
Let it Rest
Once your steak is cooked, letting it rest ensures all those beautiful juices stay where they belong — in the meat.
Seasoning & Sauces
We keep it simple — the natural flavour of our steaks shines through with just the right amount of baste. Enhance it with one of our legendary sauces, like pepper, mushroom, or garlic butter.
Perfect Pairings
Complete your meal with classic sides like chips, baked potato, broccolini, or our fresh garden salad. Want to go all out? Add a serving of our famous pork ribs.

Tips for Enhancing the Flavour of Your Steak
Even the best steak can be made better with the right preparation and pairing. Here are a few key tips to elevate your experience:
The Importance of Seasoning
Salt and pepper are your steak’s best friends — but timing matters. Since our steaks are cooked at high heat, we recommend seasoning them lightly after grilling to prevent burning spices. Our signature baste locks in flavour, but marinades can also help tenderise certain cuts and bring out their best.
Letting Your Steak Rest
One of the most important (and overlooked) steps. Allowing your steak to rest after cooking helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavourful with every bite.
Perfect Pairings
From chips and baked potatoes to char-grilled broccolini and onion rings, sides add texture and variety to your plate. For an extra indulgent treat, try our famous pork ribs as a side. As for sauces and wine, our team is happy to help you find the perfect match based on your order and palate.
