StripSteak by Michael Mina Miami Spice Scouting Report

What we had: The refreshing heirloom tomato salad with watermelon and goat cheese drizzled with maple dressing was the perfect savory starter, with contrasting flavors to prepare the palate for the heavy meal ahead. The grilled beef churrasco (skirt steak) came sizzling in a cast iron skillet, preceded by the scent of melted butter wafting through the air.  The steak was one of the best we’ve had at the restaurant, topped with house-made, garlicky chimichuri and accompanied by a side of russet potatoes, which we were too full to finish.  We did manage to squeeze in a few bites of the dense and not-too-sweet milk chocolate mousse bar, a fitting ending to a memorable meal.  The well-rounded Miami Spice menu, available for dinner every night of the week, is an exceptional value, as a typical meal of salad and skirt steak would cost over $65 dollars, not including of dessert.

Who should go to this venue:  This chic, two-story steakhouse at the Fontainebleau, with a lively, bustling vibe is ideal for date night or a night out with friends.  Carnivores will delight in StripSteak’s prime cuts of meat direct from its on-site aging room and seafood lovers can indulge in the extensive raw bar options.
