Culinary carnivores take heart: Crazy Horse Steakhouse, Saloon, and Inn in New Oxford serves beef, beef and more beef. But not just any beef, according to owner Nick Mavros. He serves only certified Angus beef, known for being flavorful, juicy and tender.
Crazy Horse serves steaks—prime rib, filet mignon, porterhouse, New York strip, rib eye, sirloin and London broil. Servings are massive and come to your table sizzling, cooked to your personal preference of doneness. As certified Angus beef, it has passed United States Department of Agriculture specifications, including tests for marbling, texture, tenderness, age and color. Only 8 percent of beef meets these requirements, according to the National Cattleman’s Association.
This well-bred beef is marinated and grilled by cook Leon Angeles. Everything this Mexican immigrant knows in the kitchen he has learned from working at Mavros’ side for the past 10 years. And what Angeles knows best is steaks. “Preparation is the most important,” he says, but he’s not about to reveal Mavros’ secret marinade recipe.
