Hailed as 'Soho's original smokehouse' and now a great pick when comes to discovering the perfect steak restaurant in Shoreditch, temper is a brand you can trust for the finest beef. They source exclusively from British farms where cattle are pasture-raised, with cuts butchered and aged in-house too. Better yet? These rare-breed steaks are cooked over fire for the ultimate smoky char and fat rendering. Head to the Great Eastern Street venue for slick interiors and a theatrical open kitchen rounding off the experience. 

Irish restaurant Daffodil Mulligan sits right on Old Street, combining the hospitality of the Emerald Isle with international cuisine influences. Working with the best the land has to offer is part of Ireland's heritage and something that drives head chef Stu Hesketh and chef patron Richard Corrigan's menus, where flat iron steaks and 1kg of sharing Glenarm Cote De Boeuf are promised to be perfectly flame-grilled. Grab liquor and beef fat crumb mash potatoes on the side, plus garlic hispi cabbage for some greens.

The clue's in the name at London Steakhouse Co. City, which you can find just opposite the station on nearby Middlesex Street. Founded by Marco Pierre White and James Ogilvie Robertson in 2008, this stalwart on the restaurant scene is still going strong almost 20 years later. Think mouthwatering cuts sourced from master butcher and Royal warrant holder, Aubrey Allen.

The best steakhouses in Shoreditch? Spanish steak restaurant Sagardi has to be on your list, where they create a gastro experience using techniques from Basque Country. Found on Curtain Road, this place prepares the finest txuleton beef from premium cattle that have lived free-range and eaten a 100% natural diet; cooking over a charcoal grill that's at the centre of the main dining space.

When considering steak restaurants in Shoreditch, no guide would be complete without the iconic Blacklock. This was once an East End furniture factory but the venue has grown into a Rivington Street chop house that's famed for quality grass-fed meat from Phillip Warren in Cornwall (the county's oldest third-generation farmers and butchers, who have bred the world's very best native and rare breed meat since the 1880s), cooked simply but perfectly over a charcoal grill.

Located within The Hoxton Hotel on Great Eastern Street, Hoxton Grill has been on Shoreditch's dining scene since it was established in 2006. With almost 20 years of cooking up the very best steaks for locals and visitors alike, this American-style restaurant bar serves classics to you in diner-style red booths. Choose between bone-in ribeye with bearnaise, New York strip with bearnaise, or flat iron with a red wine jus.

The best restaurants in Shoreditch for steak are topped off by Flat Iron, which is named after the team's favourite cut. They raise their own rare yet traditional breed cattle in Thirsk, Yorkshire, with the help of third-generation beef farmer Charles Ashbridge. The herd produces the most juicy, tender and flavourful flat iron that really has to be eaten to be believed, coming it at just £14. This bargain is best enjoyed alongside sides of beef dripping chips, creamed spinach and aubergine parm, with free ice cream when you leave too. Otherwise, the luxurious wagyu is also worth a try.
