Southbank Steak Night
premium king island beef every tuesday night
We’re thrilled to welcome you to steak night at Pure South Kitchen! Nestled along the stunning Southbank Promenade with sweeping views of the Yarra River and Melbourne’s skyline, our casual bistro offers the perfect setting to unwind and indulge in some of Australia’s finest beef.
Every Tuesday from 5pm, our kitchen comes alive with the sizzle of premium beef on the grill. Join us for our signature offering: a 250g dry aged King Island Beef Porterhouse from Millwood Station (best cooked to medium rare), served with twice cooked chips and a fresh herb salad, all for just $39.
Complete your steak experience with our complimentary house-made peppercorn sauce or garlic & herb butter, or upgrade to our Chef’s special bordelaise sauce for just $2 more. To complement your meal perfectly, we offer $10 Moo Brew Pale Ale and $10 Victorian Shiraz specials throughout the evening.
The Story Behind Our Tassie Beef
There’s something special about knowing where your food comes from. Our King Island Beef is lovingly raised at Millwood Station by Fred and Shona Perry, a family who believes that working with nature—not against it—is the key to exceptional produce.
Fred’s philosophy is beautifully simple: follow the seasons, respect the environment, and never stop learning. This dedication to continuous improvement while honouring traditional farming methods is evident in every cut of beef that reaches our Southbank kitchen.
King Island’s pristine environment provides the perfect setting for the Perrys’ approach. In line with Tasmania’s strict laws, added hormones and genetically modified organisms are prohibited on the island, ensuring that each porterhouse we serve is, as Fred would say, “exactly as nature intended.”
With a marble score of 1+, this naturally exclusive beef offers a tenderness and flavour profile that speaks to both the island’s clean environment and the Perry family’s unwavering commitment to quality. Each bite tells the story of King Island‘s nutrient-rich pastures where cattle graze freely, resulting in beef that’s truly exceptional.
Southbank's Best Steak Night
As part of the Pure South Dining family, Pure South Kitchen brings a relaxed bistro vibe to our commitment to showcasing Tasmania and King Island’s finest produce. Whether you’re a Southbank local looking for your new Tuesday tradition or stopping by after work with colleagues, our warm and attentive team is ready to make your evening special.
The casual waterfront atmosphere creates the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations and memorable meals. Watch the city lights dance on the Yarra as you savour each bite of Fred’s exceptional beef, perfectly cooked. After dinner, you’re just steps away from the Arts Centre, Crown, and the NGV – or linger longer at our riverside tables, captivated by the view.
While Fred’s premium King Island beef remains our consistent star, our chef’s creativity shines through seasonal accompaniments and wine pairings that evolve throughout the year. The Victorian Shiraz you enjoy in winter might transform to a crisp Tasmanian Pinot Noir during summer months. Our herb salad features the freshest seasonal produce, ensuring each visit offers something new to discover alongside the timeless quality of our dry aged porterhouse.
