A former employee would have the answer... For a price, perhaps. :)

I haven't looked, but I wonder if it could be found here?...
P.S.
They will not like it too much, crossposting this in a forsale group.

You forgot the 1/2 lb. of MSG.

That's pretty close to what it looked like at The Derby on Gottingen St (the
original opposite the Sally Ann). It reminded me of something out of the Tar
Ponds and they would reuse it over and over, big pans of it with many, many
steaks in it!

Don't forget to pound the steak to death.

I know that Swiss Chalet sauce (the one that taste like soap) is add
water and stir while bringing to a boil.

Have you tried their haddock, Sheena? Not sure if you're a fish fan or
not, but their haddock is pretty good. They offer the choice of pan
fried, baked or... battered, I think. I usually get either baked or pan
fried myself - it's quite tasty.
They offer a plate with haddock, steak and choice of side with coleslaw
and a roll. I find it to be a decent meal myself. I agree that the
steaks do tend to be thin, though.

Or, they're bright, and curious enough to ask... It's been known to
happen.

Chances are Rick that the one being asked would have no idea too. If
they did know they probably could pronounce some of the chemicals in it.

Their steaks are pretty thin for sure. I've only ever been in one, Young
Street location. If I was forced to say something nice about it, it
would have to be the fact that they have an open kitchen. Allows one to
keep an eye on the kitchen staff. Then again, after picking out several
violations, I don't really know if that is a good thing ;-)
Nothing drives me more than seeing restaurant staff touching their face
(nose, mouth, ears, etc) and continuing to work. Ever hear if
"*frequent* and *thorough* hand washing"?

I've never found the fish to be overcooked, but to each their own. Just
a suggestion! :)

My wife's family kept the place in business through the early years (not
really, but they sure ate there enough!). When we first started dating
in high school, that was the place we'd go with her family to eat out
most often.
I like it myself, although the quality has definitely gone down over the
years, no question. It seemed to start roughly at the same time as the
opening of the Halifax location... perhaps with the need for more
steaks, they started buying lower quality bulk meat or something ??

Yeah, I did say *bright* didn't I ? :-)
We used to visit Steak and Stein at least once a month. I think it has been
almost two years since I have been. I noticed that quality got worse the
last menu change they had a couple years back.
