Default New to resturant steaks

I've cooked in the bar scene for years, fry this grill that, but am now going in on a venture that we are going to serve steaks and am looking for a little help. I've got a 36" radiant broiler and a 36" flat grill. Any help is appreciated.

Well, first thing is to make sure you have a supplier of meat that provides quality.. (I suppose that is a given). Depending on what class of food you are serving, you may want to consider familiarizing yourself with dry aging... This can really be a signature for your restaurant if you know how to do it well.

The next thing is to make sure that you are very familiar with the various methods of grilling. Understanding how to cook and grill different types of steak are very important. You will also need to have a healthy understanding of what meat comes from what part of the cow and also understand what types of meats need to be cooked what ways... Prime Rib != New York steak in preparation. (Braising will be a very important technique to understand).

Also get to know your sharp/dry cheeses... in some cuts of meat the right cheese combination really makes the dish.. (e.g. a juicy London Broil sprinkled with aged bleu cheese is an amazing flavor combination.)

Wine pairing will also be important for steaks... a good red wine selection will not only make your picky customers happy, but will also increase the reputation of your cuisine.

Anyway, thats all I can think of for now... I would suggest finding a few good grilling/BBQ books at your local book store and reading through the techniques and recipes in them.

Know if you're getting cow meat or steer meat, and that's no bull!

Default steaks

I like a charbroiler the best, but my tip is,and you can try it yourself, kosher salt. Diamond crystal is the only one. Mortons makes one, but they put a anti-caking something or other in their's. Not good. Salt and pepper a good rib-eye, be very generous with kosher salt,it will bring out the flavor like you would'nt believe it. try it without the kosher, you'll see.
