When it comes to excellent steakhouses, Miami has no shortage. Here are six of the best restos to visit at this fall.
Since this summer’s launch of STK Miami located in the incredibly sleek ME Miami Hotel, revelers and carnivores have been flocking to this trendy Biscayne Boulevard haunt. The menu features top-quality cuts—the chimichurri skirt steak (pictured) is killer—and succulent sides like the decadent lobster mac 'n cheese. After you feast, grab a cocktail and enjoy the restaurant’s sultry lounge vibe, which permeates until the wee hours. 1100 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 305-722-7888
This Lincoln Road mainstay is known for chef Sean Brasel’s glamorous take on the traditional steakhouse. Start with hors d’oeuvres at the raw bar serving up creative delights like oysters drizzled with yuzu-truffle mignonette and beer-poached shrimp cocktail. This will prepare you for the main event: superb cuts of meat that are enhanced with 14 different signature butters and sauces. 915 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, 305-532-0088
Heralded for its dynamic dining and bar scene—not to mention its luxe digs in Fontainebleau Miami Beach—StripSteak by Michael Mina is not your ordinary steak joint. In addition to offering up delectable dishes like the wagyu duo (above), this hot spot also hosts one of the largest pre-embargo Cuban cigar collections in Miami. Plus, for this season, the restaurant will host weekly cigar socials, where guests can relax with a featured libation and a select cigar. 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 877-326-7412
Situated in the palatial Four Seasons Hotel Miami, EDGE Steak & Bar is beloved for hosting one of the neighborhood's best happy hours. Aside from their refreshing craft cocktails is an innovative register of farm-to-table fare that’s peppered with Latin influences. But, the technique chef Aaron Brooks employs is what separates this spot from the rest: Here, he cooks small cuts of meat on a special infrared grill, which seals in juices and creates a fantastic seasoned crust on the outside. 1435 Brickell Ave., Miami, 305-358-3535

If you haven’t had the fried oreos at Prime 112—or feasted next to a Miami Heat player while eating said oreos—you’re missing out on one of the best dining experiences in the Magic City. Beyond the decadent desserts, this Miami Beach institution is home to super-sized steaks as well as simply grilled seafood. Get there early enough to enjoy a drink at the bar, where you can snack on mouthwatering crispy bacon (yes, bacon) as a start to your dining experience. 112 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach, 305-532-8112
Located in an Art Deco-style building that formerly housed a hotel, this South Beach outpost of the acclaimed New York City chophouse recycled some of the building’s original elements. For example, the former check-in desk now serves as a butcher counter, which churns out an impressive register of steaks ranging from the massive 64-ounce double-rib steak (pictured), to the succulent aged bone-in sirloin. 1501 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-340-3333
