Where’s the beef? More and more these days, the answer is Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas Boulevard.

Fogo de Chão, a stylish Brazilian home of gaucho chefs and the “culinary art” of grilling steak churrasco style, opens Friday at 201 E. Las Olas Blvd., on a western stretch of the touristy downtown thoroughfare that is becoming ever more protein packed.

Less than a week after the debut of Fogo de Chão, and a little more than a block away, longtime local favorite Timpano Las Olas (450 E. Las Olas Blvd.) will reopen with a new persona — the old chophouse vibe refreshed with a boldly modernized look and menu of elevated Italian dishes that also is serious about steak. It includes an 8-ounce Westholme wagyu hanger steak, a two-serving 32-ounce tomahawk steak and a 48-ounce porterhouse cut, also prepared for two.

The dramatic renovation of Timpano comes less than a year after another notable facelift across the street at longtime downtown hot spot YOLO (333 E. Las Olas Blvd.), reborn with a new menu that features an 8-ounce Wagyu churrasco, a 22-ounce bone-in cowboy ribeye and the rarely seen rib cap steak.

A tomahawk’s throw from Fogo de Chão, Eddie V’s Prime Seafood (100 E. Las Olas Blvd.) opened about 18 months ago, with a menu dolloped with steak offerings, including a 22-ounce bone-in ribeye.

Also in the east-of-the-tunnel section of Las Olas, Del Frisco’s Grille (501 E. Las Olas Blvd.), which still somehow feels new, opened a block away from YOLO about three years ago, offering steaks ranging from an 8-ounce filet mignon to a 16-ounce ribeye.

Chef Michael Ferraro was in charge of the “reimagining” of Timpano Las Olas and says that while a lot of thought was put into the design, lighting, plateware (Versace) and a new outdoor garden, none of that matters unless you get the food right.

“You can’t get away from a beautiful char on a steak, seasoned up and cooked perfectly and juicy, with a great side of potatoes,” he says. “You can enhance the rest of the stuff, but you can’t mess with that.”
