On our search for a good meal and a new restaurant to try, we found Steak Up, a Brazilian restaurant in Orlando.
The restaurant has a simple but nice decoration. There are little flags everywhere, and the brick walls brought a slight feeling that we were at a backyard churrasco on a Saturday afternoon.
What we ordered:
Fillet mignon with Alfredo sauce:
The portion could have been bigger for the price, and we honestly felt like it needed something else with it. We also found out we could get some Parmesan, but that was never offered to us. The fillet itself was good, though. 6.5/1
Picanha:
The picanha was good, but everything else was off. The amount of farofa and chimichurri was ridiculously small, to the point that we couldn’t even judge the taste of the farofa. A portion of vinaigrette (also just as small — and it’s not on the menu, by the way) will cost you an extra dollar. This doesn’t make any sense, since the original accompaniment for Brazilian dishes is vinaigrette and not chimichurri. Chimichurri is not even Brazilian, even though it has been growing popular in the country for the past 15 years or so. The temperature of the rice, beans, and fries was not as hot as it should have been. 7/10
