CABANA LAS LILAS, ARGENTINIAN (WET–AGED)
Argentinian cattle are a breed down from Angus and Hereford cattle, originatingfrom Argentina. These Argentinian cattle are grass-fed cattle produced on the famous grasslands of Argentina called the Pampas. They are reared until about two and a half years, resulting in a more mature flavour profile, increased tenderness and a pronounced moistness to the beef.
Ribeye 400g
MIGO’S JERSEY
Jersey cattle are a breed of dairy cattle, originating from Jersey, in the British Channel Islands. Jersey beef is unique because it is reared for a much longer period and eats a purely grass-based diet. This pure grass-based diet results in naturally higher levels of carotene and vitamin D and a yellow tint to the fat. The longer rearing time leads to an increase in the amount of marbling and the quality of the marbling.
Prime rib 300g
SANCHOKU WAGYU, AUSTRALIAN
Sanchoku cattle are a blend of the finest Japanese Wagyu genetics with thesupreme quality and purity of Australian beef to create Sanchoku Wagyu beef, showcasing their commitment to excellence and care for the animals.
