I went to Etrenne Jukjeon Branch in Dalseo, Daegu for steak and pasta. This time I ordered the cream tenderloin steak and shrimp aglio olio. Both had generous portions and distinct flavors, so I left full.

The cream sauce paired well with the medium-cooked tenderloin steak, and the seafood-packed aglio olio made for a satisfying meal for two.

Inside Etrenne Jukjeon Branch: a clean, tidy dining room

What two people ordered at Etrenne Jukjeon Branch near Jukjeon Station

We ordered two dishes: cream tenderloin steak and shrimp aglio olio. The menu board also introduced various set menus and shrimp-based dishes.

Before the mains arrived, salad and baguette were served.

The salad had vegetables, olives, and cherry tomatoes mixed together.

Once the shrimp aglio olio arrived too, the table got even more full.

Seeing the cream tenderloin steak, pasta, and salad all laid out together, the portions looked generous enough even for two people to share.

Cream tenderloin steak, medium, with plenty of cream sauce

The cream tenderloin steak caught my eye visually the moment it arrived. The generous cream sauce poured over the steak looked unique.

I ordered it medium, and it was cooked just right for my taste. The thickly cut meat paired well with the cream sauce.

The sauce wasn't greasy, so it went well with the steak. Dipping each piece of meat generously in the sauce kept it moist all the way to the last bite.

After finishing the steak, I dipped the baguette into the leftover cream sauce. The baguette was chewy too, which went well with the sauce. By the time we finished the steak and baguette, the portion felt plenty generous.

Shrimp aglio olio packed with seafood

The shrimp aglio olio was well seasoned, and the flavor of the oil suited my taste well. It had plenty of shrimp and clams, giving lots of seafood to enjoy with the noodles.

A pleasantly spicy kick was added, so even though it was an oil pasta, it didn't get tiring. Both dishes had generous portions, so sharing them between two of us left us pretty full.
