Dry Aging Porterhouse Steak
In Launceston, dining is elevated to an art form at Mudbar Restaurant. Known for its innovative use of local ingredients, Mudbar is a destination where the bounty of Tasmania’s seasons is celebrated on every plate.
Whether it’s the richness of dry-aged meats or the vibrancy of seasonal produce, Mudbar embodies the best of farm-to-table dining, earning its reputation as one of the best restaurants in Launceston.
Today, we highlight one of Mudbar’s standout dishes, the Cape Grim Porterhouse, a cut that showcases the restaurant’s dedication to quality and flavour.
The Secret Behind Mudbar Grills
At Mudbar, every detail of the dining experience is thoughtfully curated, and their grill menu is no exception. The secret to their exceptional meats lies in the dry-aging process, which brings out the full, robust flavour of the Tasmanian grass-fed beef.
Dry Aging: A Taste of Tasmania
Mudbar’s meats are aged for 30–60 days in a specialised dry ager, allowing natural enzymes to tenderise the beef and concentrate its flavour. Sourced from Cape Grim, where cattle graze on the cleanest air and purest pastures in the world, the Cape Grim Porterhouse MB3+ is a testament to Tasmania’s unique environment.
This process results in a steak that’s both tender and flavour-packed—a true celebration of Tasmanian produce.
Tasting the Cape Grim Porterhouse
The Cape Grim Porterhouse MB3+ (300g) is a star of Mudbar’s dinner menu. Pre-sliced for ease of sharing or personal indulgence, this premium cut is grilled to perfection and served to showcase its natural richness. At $69, it’s not just a meal—it’s an experience.
Pairing Perfection
To elevate the dining experience, Mudbar offers expertly paired sides and wines. A bold Tasmanian pinot noir complements the porterhouse beautifully, enhancing its earthy, umami notes
Why Mudbar Stands Out in Launceston
