The steaks
Eye fillet – grass fed
Black Angus/Hereford Cross steer beef grazed on premium Hawkes Bay pastures, producing the classic lean, yet full-flavored characteristics of a solely grass-fed diet.
Chateaubriand – grass fed & big enough for two
Eye fillet grilled, then roasted to finish & rested well, to best highlight the textural qualities of a premium cut cooked in a single large piece
Rib Eye – grass fed then 90 day grain-finished
Canterbury Black Angus beef grazed on the foot-hills of the Southern Alps, then grain-finished for 90 days. An excellent example of grain short-feeding used to enhance grass-fed taste and texture characteristics.
Rib Eye – grass fed
Aged North Island Black Angus beef. Cooked on the bone to retain succulence & add a depth of character to the robust grass-fed flavours of this naturally marbled primal cut.
Sirloin –grass fed then 100 day grain finished
South Island Black Angus beef is grain-finished for 100 days on the Wakanui feedlots just outside Ashburton. The result is well marbled, buttery in texture and delicately flavoured. Cooked low and slow using the sous-vide method for improved flavour and texture and finished on the grill. Only available medium-rare.
