Stirling Steaks Katong: A Review of Sublime Charcoal Grilled Steaks
Stirling Steaks Review: Specialises in Charcoal Grilled Steaks
Stilirling Steaks Review: How many times have we walked past this place? So many. Why have we never come in until today? I have no idea. I can’t think of a reason. In fact, checking in with the family they all agreed too. Why? No idea.
Jude Jude and I had been for a haircut this morning, so had agreed to meet the rest of the gang for lunch in Katong. He and I were walking up the road and Jude Jude spotted a sign sharing that they had steak platters on offer that looked pretty damned good, and so it was decided that we would try this place and await the gang.
I am so VERY pleased we did try this joint. This place is cooking up some of the very best meat dishes and steaks I have ever had in Singapore, and that is also taking into account ChillaxBBQ. It was just excellent meat. Also, a few other surprises we found out, such as dry-ageing and wholesale options on offer, too. What a cracking find we found today – well, that we walked into.
Give them a visit @ 115 East Coast Road, Katong, opposite I12.
After a delightful lunch at Stirling Steaks Katong, it’s clear that this spot knows its way around a grill. The steaks are cooked to perfection, with a smoky char that whispers sweet nothings to your gob. The truffle fries? Crispy, golden, and dangerously addictive. It’s the kind of place where you plan your next visit before you’ve even paid the bill.
However, no establishment is without its quirks. Some diners have noted that the meat cuts can be a bit inconsistent, occasionally veering into sinewy territory. But hey, at these prices, you’re not exactly dining at a five-star Michelin steakhouse. Think of it as a charming neighbourhood grill that sometimes keeps you on your toes. And let’s be honest, a little unpredictability adds spice to life—and your steak. We loved it, hence our rating…
Stirling Steaks @ Katong: Voice of the Restaurant
“Stirling Steaks is a steakhouse that specialises in charcoal-grilled steaks, served with the highly popular Stirling Sauce.
We serve 10 types of STEAK CUTS. They include the famous TOMAHAWK, RIBEYE, TENDERLOIN, FLAT IRON, HANGER and other steak cuts. Since 2014, Stirling Steaks has been serving smoky, juicy steaks with our in-house ‘Stirling” sauce. We use traditional charcoal to grill the steaks. Each plate is conceived to portray the richness of its flavours through the slow charcoal grilling.”
Stirling Steaks Review: Charcoal-Grilled Steaks
Not usually on a menu as far as I have seen of late. Also known as Chef Cut because the Chef will keep it for him/herself. For me, it is one of the best cuts of steak if you cook and season it right. It is so very flavourful and tender. And these guys know how to cook it.
They are, in effect, reverse-searing as we do at ChillaxBBQ. Cooking it on the coals, but not direct heat, to get to the doneness and then the highest heat possible to char it and finish it off. Give it a rest and then serve it up with some avocado butter. Yep, these guys know their stuff when it comes to steak and cooking of steak.
Also, what they do not tell you is that they’ll dry-age your own steaks for up to 90 days at $1 a day. Oh yeah!!! Also, they have some pretty damned good wholesale rates if you order 2Kg or more in a single order and deliver for free anywhere on the East pretty much.
Let’s get into it…
As I have mentioned before at other restaurants with the same. Anyone with this on the wall is the same as my arm is a kindred spirit. I again wonder to myself why we have never come in here before. Perhaps I missed this painted on the wall?

Buy >2kg Steaks, Enjoy 30% Wholesale Discount: QUALITY MEAT at WHOLESALE PRICE! At Stirling Butchery, you can buy the ENTIRE COW. These cuts range from Ribeye, Sirloin, and Tenderloin. In addition, they sell chicken, pork, duck, lamb and seafood.
Have a look at that. I am all over this the next time I get me a hunk of Japanese A5 Wagyu Rib. It’s a must-do, and then ask the guys to cook it in the restaurant over the coals.
Two handsome chaps (well, one at least) having had a boy’s morning having a haircut together, eagerly awaiting the rest of the fam to get stuck into that menu…
Stirling Steaks Combo Platter T-Bone and Flank Steak @ $63
One of their stunning sharing platters. A T-bone and Hanger, pink2pink medium-rare, super-smoky from the charcoal with an intense gravy, AKA Stirling Sauce. It is absolutely delicious. Served with some green stuff and some cracking truffle fries too. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Amazing steaks.
Be proud, guys, absolutely up there with the very best and so reasonably priced in comparison to the rest. This was enough for four of us today, and Wifey, Strawberry Blonde, Jude Jude, and I demolished it.
#1 goes hard on his very own Rib Eye. How stunning is that? He, like the rest of our table, was saying nothing but compliments on how perfectly cooked and perfectly tasting this was. Again, I can tell this is low and slow to start and high to char and finish.

Sterling Steaks Review: Final thoughts...
I’m saddened we have not eaten here before. I really am annoyed with myself that we must have walked past this so many times. We rectified that today, though, and it will now be a place we will absolutely be frequenting a lot, especially once I get my steak in that dry-ager haha.
Stirling Steaks @ Katong is a die, die must-try folks. Especially if you are a charcoal BBQ purist. ChillaxBBQ, we have competition, lads, haha. These guys are knocking out just amazing steaks. Hey, perhaps we create a wholesale/dry-ageing relationship with them and co-opetete haha.
We’ll be seeing you soon, guys, be very proud of what you have in that little shop-house, as a product and the staff. Family K absolutely loved it. Highly recommended for steak lovers! ENJOY!!!
