New ways to Meat Mate

Meat Mate threw its first Open Day at its Sanyuanqiao brunch in July, developing a new lifestyle around ice fresh Australian beef. Beef steak is no longer just grilled with salt and pepper. Chef Hoffmann Christian presents various ways of cooking beef depending on the different cuts - oxtail salad, beef tartar crostini, beef carpaccio filled with arugula and Parmesan cheese, beef tataki with pickled daikon, and tomahawk steak with Asian herb butter. Wine experts and cheese specialists are on hand to introduce the pairing of red wine and cheese with different flavors of beef. The Open Day will continue to show off more ways to enjoy the beauty of beef.
