The inner core from a head of romaine lettuce is set on a plate, and then drizzled with a skillful rendering of the trademark, anchovy-spiked dressing and shavings of sharp parmesan. Pungent with fresh garlic, the requisite dash of Worcestershire, and a tangy squeeze of lemon, the dressing was a fantastic balance of taste and texture. Of course, the primary feature at McMahon's is the aforementioned meat, which is highlighted in glorious, decadent abundance. What separates one from the next is most often the price. Only a wedge of iceberg lettuce with your choice of dressing is included with your steak order.
Side dishes constitute an additional cost.
By any standards, the New York sirloin is huge. Only the heartiest of appetites will be able to consume the entire slab in one sitting, especially if appetizers, soup or salad are in order. I concluded the meal more fatigued than full. Thankfully, McMahon's restores this frequently maligned cut to its rightful place. Fairly lean, with just a trace of fat on the edge, the meat was so choice it resembled a tenderloin steak.
