The Science Of Our Steak
Born of a carnivorous passion for exceptional steak, Debutant is Wollongong’s premier destination
for premium dry-aged beef.
Dry-ageing is a process whereby the beef is kept in a carefully temperature and humidity controlled environment to draw out excess moisture and enhance the naturally occurring flavours within the protein.
All of these factors work to intensify the flavour profile of the meat to create a steak experience like no other.
The kitchen at Débutant offers a range of intensities to satisfy even the most discerning of meat-eaters.
