Couple of friends and I were on the hunt for skirt steak, which landed us at the Brazilian restaurant Sabor Tropical in Astoria, NY. Their menu consists of more then just skirt steak, but our goal was skirt steak. For appetizers we started with the fried yuca and calamari. Both were excellent. Yuca is very similar to potatoes for those who are unsure what they are. On the side I did have the Brahma Brazilian beer, which I did not like, I would say stick to the Corona if you want a beer here. When it came to the skirt steak, there were 3 options, topped with Mushrooms, Onions or Hearts of Palm. I went with the mushrooms, but someone got the onions and hearts of palm. Due to my curiosity, I had to try the hearts of palms from my friend’s plate, and I liked it, but still I had no clue what they are exactly. If you want to know more, then I suggest you google it. As usual I got my steak medium, and it came out perfect. It was a nice healthy portion, which I unfortunately could not finish. People in our party did order a chicken dish which was massive as well. It looked great but I was stuffed with my steak. Next time I go I will make sure to have a bigger appetite and might try one of their other steaks or fish.
