It’s no secret that most of us here in the Mile High City thoroughly enjoy sinking our canines into big honkin’ juicy steaks, charred to perfection and served up with a hearty helping of potatoes in some form or another. From whopping 22oz. bone-in rib eyes to dainty 4oz. grass-fed filets, you’ll find whatever meaty goodness you’re on the hunt for at these fabulously delicious carnivorous utopias. And when they ask how you’d like your steak cooked, just say, “So a good veterinarian could resuscitate it.” Ante up because the steaks have been raised at these 10 best steakhouses in Denver.
