North suburban gourmands searching for a top sirloin locally will have a choice of Brazilian and Argentinian steaks at a Morton Grove restaurant opening this week.

“People looked in at the subs shop and saw there was limited dine-in,” partner Khaleel Musa said, noting the handful of chairs pushed against a ledge at the front window. “They’d turn around and drive off. But for many who came in, they liked the Picanha in a bowl. That gave us the idea to open Cultura Steaks.The partners scouted the marketplace first. Several Brazilian steakhouses were popular in the city of Chicago before the pandemic, but don’t have outposts in the suburbs.
Cultura Steaks will be open from 5 to 10 p.m. for dinner nightly. Musa said the restaurant plans to expand hours in the summer, offering a couple of tables for outdoor dining. The sub shop already has an outdoor table under an umbrella. Diners who can’t wait for smaller version of steaks for lunch can visit the sub shop, which opens at 11 a.m. One kitchen will serve both outlets with Vinueza in charge.
Appetizers include stuffed Ecuadorian-style empanadas, a steak-and-chicken combo, sauteed mussels and fried calamari.
