I never eat beef outside of the breadbasket area of the U.S. I find beef outside of the area has a weird, strange, off-taste, and usually somewhat stringy. I can see why many people who don't have opportunity to eat Iowa, Nebraska, Okla. and Texas beef not liking beef that well, you've not had the best. The beef in Mexico and Jamaica is tough, and stringy, regardless of who prepares it. Sorry all you guys who don't live where you get good beef, it is amazing to eat a steak that tastes like velvet to your palate.
I had a burger at the airport in JA and was not impressed, the meat had a very game-y taste to it. Now I love a good steak but that burger made me wonder if I would like any beef in JA. Anyone have thoughts on this? Is there a place to get a good steak or does it all have that weird taste?

I believe that Sunset uses imported beef. It didn't taste like "local" beef to me.
In December I had a fillet at a wedding dinner at Charela that was flawless, melt in your mouth good. Also not "local".

I bet the prices at Charela weren't local either - lol
I have never found any I cared for, but if you haven't had good beef, it would probably suffice, but not a steak, as it is stringy, gamey and has weird off taste. Ras, bet you paid a premium for that steak at Charela - grin.
I will put canadian beef up against any beef factory from usa, I know the rancher, and abattoir, no steroids, no over watering for added weight, just melts in your mouth. I have never had the desire for a burger in Negril, but heard seastar has a good roast beef on the buffet. Always seem to put on a few lbs when in Negil, seems to be no reason to go hungry with all the good eats. Cheers!
I very seldom go near any Fast food places back here in the Great White North so it would not even be on my radar in JA. Sale goes for Colonel KFC. I remember 4 or 5 yaers ago taking a JUTA bus and the driver pointing out the Burger King and saying ' We built those so the tourists would feel at home with some familiar food" until I pointed out it was all Jamaicans that were lined up in there buying Whoppers & fries.It seems to be Patrick @ Sunset told me he grinds his Beef fresh daily and then adds spice to the patty. It is too large for most people to finish at one sitting with salad or Fries in any case..!
If you haven't tried the double cheese burger at Treehouse I think they are the best. You can taste the allspice and what I think is the taste of alittle hot pepper. That with the fresh cucumber and mayo....Yummm. Plus the fries, now I'm hungry!
I go there at least twice every trip.

Jamaica is not known for it's beef folks....better to eat what is locally grown & tasty.....chicken & fish, right from the sea....can't get any fresher than that. The beef in Ja. most times has to be stewed to make it tender enough for the N/ American palate....JMHO. (I have never had a burger in Negril, but this has been my experience elsewhere in Ja.)
