Modern Steakhouse means using innovative cuts, serving smaller portions on well-composed plates and providing a less ‘heavy’ restaurant feel.

Tips for great beef:

“Beef should be seasoned aggressively. You should also know who and what concept you’re preparing a meal for.”

How have customer tastes changed?

“Customers are really celebrating specialization. People have much more curiosity around global flavors and regionalities (both locally and globally) these days. They’re more likely to try something brand new or welcome a twist on the familiar.”
Favorite cut:
“My favorite cut is sirloin flap, because it’s not seen often in the market. Or beef ribs. They can be so succulent and dramatic.”
