The Food
The steaks at OX are some of the best in Portland, cooked to perfection, and the char from Argentine-style cooking is sure to please any steak lover’s palate. They are served with a side of tangy chimichurri sauce that is out of this world! Whether you’re looking for a hearty steak dinner or something lighter, you’ll find it all at OX Argentinian Steakhouse.
In addition to the steaks OX is known for, the menu features other traditional Argentinian dishes such as Empanadas, Smoked Beef Tongue, Braised Beef Tripe with Coal-Roasted Spanish Octopus, and freshly baked bread.
OX also has an extensive wine list featuring wines from Argentina and Chile.
A must-try is Ox’s spin on Clam Chowder. Their take on clam chowder incorporates bone marrow into a buttery broth, dressed in green onions, freshly sliced jalapenos, and garlic breadcrumbs. Absolutely delicious!
For our meal, we ordered the following:
- My dad ordered the 18oz Maple-Brined LanRoc Farms Pork Chop. The pork chop was cooked to perfection and had great flavor. Unfortunately, the cut my dad got was fatty. After waiting for some time for our meal, we learned that the pork chop takes forty-five to sixty minutes to prepare. A fact we were not advised of when we ordered.
- My mom, wife, and I ordered the Grass-Fed Filet Mignon cooked medium-rare. Each of them was perfectly cooked. They were tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The smokiness and char flavor of the steak was incredible, and we all loved it. This was one of the best steaks I have had in a long time.
- For our side dishes, we had:
- Sauteed Mushrooms & Foie Gras with three types of mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, and king trumpet), alliums, and wilted spinach.
- Fried Russet Potatoes, horseradish aioli (amazing!), and dill.
- For dessert, we had:
- Warm Hazelnut Torte served with honey-chamomile ice cream and honeycomb candy.
- House-made Peach Sorbet served with coconut tapioca, lime zest, and dulce de leche alfajor cookies.
- Chocolate Olive Oil Cake served with rum mascarpone mousse, fudge sauce, and amarena cherries.
