Q

What is the breed of cattle that we use for our steaks? What is the reason we use this breed?

A

HolsteIn. This is a larger steer than Angus (the other, more commonly sourced breed in the United States). Holsteins are most commonly used as dairy cows; the beef from the steer is very flavorful and has a firm texture. Our NY strip, for example, has a nice chew to it…it doesn’t get “mushy” under the broiler…

33
Q

What is Wagyu?

A

A breed of cattle, originally from Japan, (but now also raised elsewhere) that is prized for the tremendous marbling and flavor…

34
Q

What should the server offer when a guest requests a filet medium well or well done?

A

Suggest that the steak be butterflied. This process allows the steak to cook without burning or charring, while still keeping the steak’s flavor…

35
Q

What temperature do we keep the plates holding before we plate a steak?

A

400 degrees.

36
Q

Where are the cattle that we use for our steaks raised?

A

Packerland Farms.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin.

They come from farm codes:

562

562M

37
Q

Where do we get our steaks from? (Who is our purveyor?)

A

Michael’s Meats -based in Colombus, Ohio

38
Q

Why do we use “abundantly marbled Prime corn fed beef”?

A

Beef cuts with high levels of marbling are more likely to be tender, juicy, and flavorful….

39
Q

Why use a dry steak rub? What does ours do to the steak while in the broiler?

A

A dry rub will season the steak, complimenting the natural sweetness of the meat, or the charred flavors from the cooking process… Our steak rub, specifically, has a little four in it, which holds the steak’s juices at the surface while a crust forms to seal in all the juice and flavor…the sugar in the rub also helps in this process by helping the rub caramelize…

40
Q

What does the term “A5” in reference to Wagyu Beef Signify?
