Premium Sourcing. Expert Technique. Unmatched Steak in Newport Beach.
When it comes to finding the best steakhouse in Orange County, there are plenty of options—but few offer the kind of curated steak program you’ll find at SET Steak & Sushi. Located in the heart of Newport Beach, our steak menu is built on exceptional sourcing, precise execution, and a philosophy that every cut should be memorable.
We take pride in working with some of the most respected ranches in the U.S. and abroad, selecting each cut based on quality, sustainability, and flavor profile. Whether you're dining with us for a special occasion or simply in the mood for a perfect steak, SET delivers with consistency and intention.
Our Sourcing Philosophy: Quality Over Everything
We’ve partnered with elite producers across the U.S. and internationally to create a steak menu that stands up to the expectations of Newport’s discerning diners. Here’s a closer look at where your steak comes from:
One of the most trusted names in American beef, Creekstone is known for its humanely raised, hormone-free cattle and its attention to marbling and texture. You’ll find Creekstone on our:
8oz Filet
16oz Bone-In New York
32oz Porterhouse Chop
Midwestern cattle, grain-finished and deeply flavorful. Sourced specifically for our:
12oz Prime Flat Iron
Brawley, California
Our Dry-Aged 16oz New York and 24oz Holstein Bone-In Ribeye come from hand-selected cattle raised just hours from SET. Dry aging takes these cuts to the next level, delivering complex, nutty flavors and incredible tenderness.
American wagyu, expertly marbled and intensely flavorful. Known for their ranch-to-table approach, Snake River Farms is behind:
8oz American Ribeye Cap
26oz Wagyu Eye of Ribeye
Black Opal’s wagyu is pasture-raised, grain-finished, and globally celebrated for its buttery texture and deep flavor. Look for it in:
10oz Wagyu Bavette
12oz Ribeye
40oz Tomahawk
Mayura Station – Australia
Our most exclusive cut, the 14oz Mayura “Chocolate” Wagyu New York Strip, comes from full-blooded Japanese wagyu cattle fed a diet that includes cacao nibs for a uniquely rich, umami-forward profile. It's one of the most luxurious steaks in Southern California.
A Steak Program Built for the Modern Diner
At SET, our goal is to elevate the traditional steakhouse in Newport Beach experience—without losing what makes it classic. Whether you're craving the precision of an 8oz filet, the indulgence of a 40oz wagyu tomahawk, or the depth of a dry-aged New York strip, our team prepares every cut with the care and respect it deserves.
Every steak is flame-grilled and served at its prime—no shortcuts, no compromise. Pair it with a bold red from our wine list, or start with a sushi roll for a coastal contrast that only SET can offer.
