Sasha’s Fine Foods
If you’re looking for one of the best selections of steak delivered in Singapore along with your other grocery needs, Sasha’s Fine Foods is one online butcher you’ll want to visit. Sasha works only with farms that she has personally visited, and the inspirational farmers and their sustainable practices make for some exquisite cuts. You’ll find something for every palate, whether it’s grass-fed Angus steak, succulent New Zealand free-range lamb, organic Welsh beef or an Iberico Pluma steak for a simple midweek steak and chips.

Farmer’s Market
This online butchery specialises in grassfed Australian beef and has everything you need for a delicious steak dinner or barbecue. Owner Emma Pike recommends the ribeye as one of the best “no-fail” barbecue steaks that are easy to find in Singapore. The fat running through the meat makes it flavourful, tender and hard to overcook. But, if you’re watching your calories, the tenderloin comes recommended as a leaner cut that’s still tender.
Farmer’s Market sources its beef from farms on the southern coast of Australia and in New Zealand and chooses grass-fed beef as it’s leaner, tastier and higher in nutrients than intensively farmed beef. All the meat is 100 percent traceable from the farm gate to your plate and guaranteed free of hormones and antibiotics.
Home delivery is available island-wide five days per week, with free delivery on orders over $100.
Bochinche
After five years on Amoy Street, this popular steakhouse in Singapore has reopened along Club Street. The new location features a refreshed look with an open kitchen that runs the length of the restaurant. While the menu is rooted in Argentinian-style steaks, head chef Fabrice Mergalet has incorporated novel techniques like sous vide and lacto fermentation in his new dishes. What remains the same is BoCHINche’s charcoal grilling method that gives the steaks here a lightly charred crust and a delightfully smoky aroma.

How to cook at Tomahawk Steak
Grilling a quality piece of meat is, for some people, an intimidating prospect. But making a great steak at home is easy! All you really need is some seasoning and a meat thermometer to hit the perfect doneness. Here’s a quick guide to cooking a tomahawk (a thick bone-in ribeye) from the grill gurus at Weber.
Instructions
- Heat an outdoor grill or preheat your oven to 190°C.
- Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper, using about one teaspoon per 450 grams of steak.
- Sear the steak for three to four minutes on each side.
- Transfer the steak to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 52°C. This will take about 30 minutes, but use a meat thermometer for best results.
- Let the steak rest for five to ten minutes before serving
Tips
• How to tell when your steak is done: 50°C rare; 55°C medium rare; 60°C medium; 65°C medium well; 70°C well done.
• Don’t have a grill? No problem! Sear your steak on the stove before placing it in the oven. Use a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron.
• If you want to keep your steak in the grill to finish cooking, you’ll need to cook over indirect heat. Keep the lid of the grill closed and adjust the flames to keep the temperature at 200°C.
