Our STEAK QUALITY
Premium Quality Meats & Exceptional Steakhouse Experience
When it comes to steak, nothing beats the taste of premium cuts cooked over an open flame. At Pony Dining, we take pride in offering the finest quality meats sourced from the best producers and farmers across Australia. With a focus on delivering exceptional flavour and tenderness, our steak restaurant is renowned for its commitment to quality, making us one of the best offerings around The Rocks, Circular Quay and beyond.
Sourcing the best
For over 18 years, Pony Dining has partnered with Vic’s Meat, a family-run business that has been supplying top-tier restaurants for over 30 years. Their uncompromising approach to quality ensures we have access to the best cuts of meat available, including selections from Australia’s most respected producers:
Lockyer Valley: Sourced from family-owned Australian producer Stanbroke, Lockyer Valley Black Angus beef is raised on natural grasslands, then grain-finished to develop exceptional marbling and depth of flavour. Lockyer Valley supplies us with cuts that are richly marbled and full of flavour. Black Angus beef is raised in the cool climate of the New England Tablelands.
O’Connor Beef: Sourcing from lush pastures in Victoria, O’Connor provides grass-fed beef that is celebrated for its tenderness and clean, natural taste. O’Connor’s bone-in sirloin, which we dry-age, is a staple on our menu. Entirely free-range, and raised on Gippsland's crisp fresh air, pristine water and nutrient-rich pure pastures without any artificial hormones or antibiotics.
Stone Axe Wagyu: For lovers of Wagyu, we proudly serve beef from Stone Axe, delivering a luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth experience thanks to its exquisite marbling and rich flavour. Stone Axe Full Blood Wagyu maintains 100% Full Blood Japanese Black Wagyu genetics, resulting in beef of the highest possible quality.
2GR Wagyu: A premium Australian Wagyu raised across select properties in New South Wales and Queensland. Using full-blood Wagyu genetics crossed with carefully chosen Angus cattle, this F1 Wagyu delivers exceptional balance, fine marbling and a clean, rich beef flavour. Highly regarded both locally and internationally, 2GR Wagyu is prized for its consistency and quality on the plate.
Premium cuts
We offer a diverse selection of cuts, from classic favourites like scotch fillet and striploin to lesser-known but equally delicious options such as hanger steak and rump cap. This variety, combined with our commitment to sourcing only the best, ensures that every guest can find the perfect cut to suit their palate. Our steaks are complemented by our signature woodfired cooking method, enhancing their natural flavours.
The Art of Dry-Aging
At Pony, we're passionate about delivering an exceptional steak experience, which is why we proudly serve premium dry-aged beef. Sourced from Vic's Meat, pioneers of dry-aging in Australia, our steaks are matured for 30–40 days in humidity-controlled cool rooms. This carefully managed ageing process naturally tenderises the beef while concentrating its rich, complex flavours, resulting in a steak with remarkable depth, character and a beautifully balanced finish.
Dry-aging allows the beef to develop a more intense, full-bodied flavour and an exceptionally tender texture, creating a steak that is rich, robust and unforgettable. Every cut is selected for its quality and prepared over our signature ironbark wood-fire grill, allowing the natural flavours of the beef to shine.
