MASTRO FAMILY RESTAURANT EST. 2016
We are thrilled to be part of Houston’s continued growth and development. We will be embracing the opportunity to get to know our neighbors, and inviting the community to enjoy Steak 48. Oliver Badgio, Sr. Vice President Prime Steak Concepts
The Mastro brothers’ first venture into the restaurant business was River Oaks Steakhouse. Steak 48 was inspired by the Steak 44 in Phoenix. Steak 48, which is actually their Phoenix location, was inspired by their roots. It pays tribute to Arizona’s 48th entry into Union. They have also operated other successful restaurants, including Mastro’s Steakhouse, Mastro’s Ocean Club, and they were sold in 2007.
Prime Steak Concepts, the Mastro owners, has given Steak 48’s culinary operations to Executive Chef Jeff Taylor. Chef Taylor has almost 20 years experience in the culinary world and has been working in Texas since 2000. Steak 48 is Chef Taylor’s partner. They strive to provide the finest steaks in Houston, and add a regional flair to the menu.
Before any ingredient is allowed to Steak 48, it must meet Chef Taylor’s strict standards. Responsible farms are where we source our prime beef. Our restaurant serves steaks that have been wet aged 28 days and then are hand-cut by our master butcher.
Every steak is hand-cut in our restaurant, and then delivered to the kitchen. Houston’s only butcher shop allows us to cut steaks exactly as you order.
We also take great care in choosing where our seafood and fish comes from. We only trust sustainable sources. Innovative side dishes are served alongside our prime-grade steaks and seafood entrees. The raw bar features fresh oysters from both the coasts, Alaskan King crab, and Maine lobster.
Side dishes include American classics as well as our innovative creations. The Corn Creme Brulee and Double Baked Truffle Potato are popular sides. To whet your appetite, we also offer delicious appetizers such as Fried Deviled Eggs or Fresh Burrata. Our decadent dessert menu will tempt you after the main course.
