With nearly two decades of experience serving up some of the best dining experiences in Dubai, this iconic venue is where guests gather to enjoy good food, good company, and exceptional service.

Flame-Grilled Steaks That Redefine Luxury

The highlight of The Grand Grill is its unrivaled selection of flame-grilled steaks. These aren’t your average cuts — we’re talking about internationally sourced beef aged and prepared in-house by expert chefs who understand that the secret to a great steak lies in its cut, marbling, and cooking technique.

Standard Cuts with Superior Quality

For lovers of classic cuts, The Grand Grill offers a mouthwatering range of standard selections

• Australian Black Angus 150 Days Grain Fed: Available as Tenderloin (MB-3), Rib Eye (MB-3), and Sirloin (MB-2), these steaks offer a balance of tenderness and rich flavor, thanks to the perfect marbling score.

• Argentinean Grass-Fed Beef: Tenderloin and Sirloin from the Pampas regions bring a lean, natural flavor ideal for purists who enjoy a robust beef taste.

• South African 100 Days Grain Fed: Tenderloin, Rib Eye, and Rump Steak — a tribute to The Grand Grill’s roots, these cuts are hearty, flavorful, and expertly grilled.

• American Angus 120 Days Grain Fed: The Rib Eye from this selection boasts bold marbling and succulence, perfect for those who love a juicy, indulgent steak

Prime Cuts for the True Connoisseur

For guests seeking an elite experience, the Prime Cuts are a must:

• Carrara / Cabassi Wagyu Australian: These cuts include Rib Eye Purebred (MB 8–9) and Rump (MB 4–5 Ebony). Known for their exceptional marbling, these steaks melt in your mouth and deliver an ultra-luxurious flavor with every bite.

Understanding Marbling: The MB Scale

At The Grand Grill, steak quality is clearly labeled using the Marbling Benchmark (MB) score, which ranges from 0 to 9+ and indicates the level of intramuscular fat in the beef. The higher the score, the more marbled and flavorful the steak. For instance:

• MB-2 to MB-3: Delivers a nice balance of lean meat and richness — ideal for diners who prefer a classic steak flavor.

• MB-4 to MB-9: A luxurious choice, these steaks are buttery and tender with a depth of flavor that’s simply unforgettable.

Cooking Steaks to Perfection: Know Your Doneness

The Grand Grill takes pride in preparing steaks exactly how you like them. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the doneness level that suits your palate:

• Blue: Seared very briefly, the outside is browned while the inside stays cool and deep red.

• Rare: Cooked quickly on high heat, with a browned outer layer and a cool, red center inside.

• Medium-Rare: Warm red center; juicy and tender — a favorite among steak enthusiasts.

• Medium: Pink throughout the center with more firmness.

• Medium-Well: Slightly pink center with a firmer texture.

• Well-Done: Cooked throughout with no pink, offering a firmer bite

Every steak at The Grand Grill is grilled over an open flame to ensure the perfect char and flavor, whether you love it rare or well-done.

A Diverse Menu Beyond Steaks

While the flame-grilled steaks steal the spotlight, The Grand Grill’s menu also boasts house specialties that offer a taste of South African culinary tradition:

• Chicken Sosatie: Skewered chicken thighs marinated in Cape Malay spices, grilled with apricots and bell peppers, and served with a zesty tamarind dip.

• Beef and Lamb Espetada: Portuguese-style grilled beef chunks seasoned with mild house spices.

• The Grand Burger: A signature offering made with 100% marinated beef or chicken, layered with lettuce, tomato, mayo, honey caramelized onions, and served with crispy fries.

Pair any dish with a refreshing South African grape beverage or a robust vintage from The Grand Grill’s carefully curated wine list for the ultimate experience at a fine dining restaurant in Dubai.
