On restaurant hill, went there for the first time at Christmas and asked for a grilled sirloin steak, not on the stone, we got I think veal! which I don't eat on priciple, OK! silly I know but there we go, I complained and got a shrug of the shoulders, first and last time we go there.
Which Steak House you´re referring to - Casa do Bife?! I wonder because there you normally get real good quality meat and a rather large piece. As far as I remember you can ask for it to be grilled if you don´t like it on the stone.
Quality here is very good (assuming Casa do Bife) but we did notice 2008 (twice) the portions were far less than they used to be. And unless they have lower their charges will not be competitive.
Actually, I had never had "proper" veal before I went to Maxims a few years ago - i thought veal was that whiteish meat that was quite flat. Had something at Maxims that was far more like steak than I had realised.
Under 10 euros gets you a full main course (plus drinks) - i.e. includes chips and vegetables.

Depends what happened to the animal beforehand - if it was bled whilst still alive, the raw meat is more the colour of chicken and has a different flavour to the non-bled animal which will be more steak-like.
Now we like Casa Do Bife but for the life of me how do you get 10 euros a head. I assume with no drinks starter or sweet or coffee come to that. Does include a tip

For 9.98 eu you get a large (12 oz approx) sirloin steak, plus chips and vegetables, and four dips to apply to your steak.
Their price for wine, coffee etc is reasonable by local standards.
Tip extra!
