Chic Steak 48 joins River Oaks District

Come hungry to the posh Steak 48, who launched their grand opening in the River Oaks District recently showcasing the best of fresh seafood, prime steaks and shellfish defining their reputation as more than a steakhouse.

Positioned on the front corner at 4444 Westheimer, Steak 48’s two-story residence, with nearly 14,000 square feet, is divided with separate rooms highlighting the dining experience. Intimate settings, such as a set of six booths separated by a glass wall, allow diners a visual into the inner workings behind the scenes.

 

Creative approaches and high quality fresh ingredients make the most of every dish from the appetizers to the raw bar items.

Choose from diverse selections such as honey-accented Braised Pork Belly over sautéed spinach, Fried Deviled Eggs, creamy fresh Burrata with tomato jam, or even Fried Rock Shrimp paired with sweet Thai chile glaze.

The Seafood Tower, which needs a moment to take in with the visual display, melts in your mouth with Alaskan King Crab legs, East Coast fresh oysters and decadent Lobster. Succulent quarter-pound shrimp and the Crab and Avocado Stack are also on the menu. 

Salads and side dishes are just as delicious for accompaniments from a traditional Wedge or Caesar choice to a combination of arugula, kale and more in their Superfood Salad.

Sides, which offer 18 choices, are the perfect accent to a meal. Selections include Corn Crème Brulee, Double-Baked Truffle Potato and Asparagus Fries. Maybe indulge also with the King Crab and Rock Shrimp Mac and Cheese.

Steaks and entrees aim to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience.

Wisconsin and Michigan ranches are Steak 48 sources for their USDA Prime beef. Cut in-house and wet-aged, diners can choose from either small or large portions of traditional cuts. Bone-in options are here for their Filet Mignon, Ribeye or KC Strip. Domestic Wagyu Filet is on the menu with limited availability.

Don’t stop with just the steak. Top it with decadent foie gras, burrata cheese, truffle butter or even seafood choices like crispy shrimp and crab cake “Oscar.”

Additional entrees range from Prime Steakhouse Meatloaf to Ahi Tuna Filet, New Bedford Sea Scallops, Shelton Island Salmon, Colorado Rack of Lamb and the Bone-in Veal Chop to mention a few.

Top off your dinner with beautiful desserts ranging from Red Velvet Bread Pudding topped with Vanilla Gelato to gluten-free Chocolate Tart, Ultimate Warm Vanilla Caramel Cake or Cookies and Cream Popcorn Sundae.

Jeffrey and Michael Mastro, owners of Steak 48, are not new to the business. With nearly two decades of experience, the team, who founded the original Mastro’s Steakhouse in 1998, decided to try their expertise in the Houston market after opening Steak 44 in Phoenix in 2014. This is their first expansion from their Arizona-based concept restaurant.

Hours for Steak 48 are 4-10 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday; Friday-Saturday from 4- 11 p.m.
