For many, indulging in a perfectly cooked steak often means paying restaurant prices. But one food business in Braddon is shaking up that perception with a unique, affordable, and mobile solution. Moowing Steak, a trailer kitchen, brings high-quality steaks to the streets, offering customers restaurant-level meals at takeaway prices.
The inspiration behind Moowing Steak comes from a simple belief: steak should be affordable and accessible for everyday dining. “We believe that good quality, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked steaks should be affordable for daily takeaway and delivery, or even just to walk and eat,” the owners, Manoj and Subash, explain.
By choosing a trailer kitchen, Moowing Steak is able to keep costs down, making it feasible to offer quick, tasty, and affordable meals. Without the high overheads of a traditional restaurant, they’re able to offer restaurant-quality steaks at prices that make daily eating possible.
When it comes to the quality of the steak, sourcing is everything. Moowing Steak proudly sources its meat from 56 Degree, known for providing high-quality cuts from regions with ideal conditions for raising cattle. Their specialties include tenderloin, sirloin, and ribeye—popular cuts that appeal to a wide range of steak lovers. And, for that perfect flavour, Moowing Steak uses char-grilling as their cooking method, ensuring each steak is cooked to perfection.
But what sets Moowing Steak apart from other food trucks is their house-made basting sauce, a unique blend of ginger, soy, and other secret ingredients. This gives their steaks a distinctive, flavourful touch that keeps customers coming back for more. “We draw on our years of chef experience and use our own basting sauce to elevate the taste,” they add.
Moowing Steak also caters to customers with dietary preferences and restrictions, ensuring that their menu is inclusive. With clearly marked items for allergens and dietary needs, they provide options for gluten-free customers, vegetarians, and more. Although their focus is on steak, they offer other beloved dishes, including Nepalese MOMO dumplings, reflecting their heritage and adding a special touch to their menu.
The dining experience at Moowing Steak is designed to be flexible and casual. Customers can grab their food to enjoy at home, in the park, or even while strolling through the city. For those who want to stay and eat, a few outdoor tables are available. “We aim to provide restaurant-quality food at a better price for daily enjoyment,” they emphasise.
In addition to providing top-notch meals, Moowing Steak is committed to sustainability. They use eco-friendly packaging, including sugarcane boxes, wooden cutlery, and paper bags, reducing their environmental impact.
As a new business, Moowing Steak is already making waves, but they’re just getting started. The owners are dedicated to continually improving, learning from each day, and building toward future success. With strong local support and encouragement from interstate customers, Moowing Steak has its sights set on expanding to cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
“Our goal is to offer better deals for the community,” they say. “With high standards in quality, quantity, price, and service, we’re building a loyal customer base and staying true to our Nepalese culture of hospitality.” As it grows, Moowing Steak aims to maintain the same commitment to quality and community that has defined its journey so far.
5-star customer reviews
Tom Fielder: This place deserves its almost 5-star rating. I am an avid steak eater and this would rank in my top 5-10 steaks ever. 10/10 recommend the Jus sauce. My wife and I are from Melbourne but will be coming here every time we can on our trips to Canberra.
Steven H: Nowhere have I seen this quality of steak offered out of a truck. We tried both the fillet and the ribeye and they were equally excellent. The quality and value is superb – I hope they maintain it because this food truck is a great addition to the neighbourhood. Beside the steak, I have tried the peri peri wings, and the momo – it’s all well above expectations! UPDATE: We have returned a number of times and have found the food consistently excellent. Tonight we had a medium and a large tenderloin. The quality, taste and value is unsurpassed. The only comparable steaks I’ve had are in big city steakhouses and the prices there are a large multiple of what these guys charge. Both steaks were cooked medium rare (per my request) to perfection with a great char grill flavour The sauces that accompanied them were absolutely spot on. I’ve noticed that they’re starting to get a following and I just hope that their inevitable success doesn’t cause them to leave the neighbourhood.
