Frequently Asked Questions
How should I use the Steak Compass?
The Steak Compass is designed to help you understand the flavour and tenderness profile of the steaks served at Vantador.
There is no right or wrong choice. Think of it as a guide to help you discover which steak might suit your taste today.
Does a higher score mean a better steak?
No.
The Steak Compass is not a ranking system.
It simply compares the steaks available at Vantador based on their flavour and tenderness characteristics.
A steak with a flavour score of 10 is not "better" than a steak with a flavour score of 8. It simply offers a different experience.
Does a tenderness score of 10 mean it is the most tender steak in the world?
No.
The scores are relative to the steaks available on the Vantador menu.
For example, when Wagyu receives a tenderness score of 10, it means it is among the most tender steaks within our current steak selection.
Why does Rubia Gallega have a lower tenderness score than Wagyu?
Rubia Gallega is celebrated for its extraordinary flavour rather than extreme tenderness.
Many steak enthusiasts consider it one of the best tasting beef experiences in the world because of its depth, complexity and character.
For many guests, flavour becomes more important than tenderness once they begin exploring different steak styles.
Why does Dry Aged Wagyu score highly in both flavour and tenderness?
