Culinary enthusiasts know beef is never just beef. There's the cut, marbling, grading, and even where it came from.
Canada is making the case for its premium quality beef and Flame Restaurant of Makati's Discovery Primea is on it with a limited time special menu called "Fire & Flavor: A Culinary Collaboration." It features dishes utilizing Canadian beef, prepared by Chef Luis Chikiamko.
At the launch of the menu, Honorable RJ Sigurdson, Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation of Alberta, Canada, Alberta’s beef is sought after across the globe by consumers and chefs alike.
“It is world-renowned for its rich, delicious flavor and consistently high quality. It truly is the best beef that you can eat. Not only does it taste great, but Alberta beef is also grass-fed and grain-finished, which means it’s packed full of essential nutrients and vitamins," he said.
He also proudly shared that Canadian beef is valued for its superior flavor, as well as for adhering to strict health, safety, and quality standards.
“You can feel good about eating Alberta beef knowing exactly what you’re consuming: healthy, nutritious, and delicious food,” he said. “Alberta is committed to exporting our high-quality beef products to the Philippines for consumers to enjoy, whether it’s during a hotel stay, enjoying a meal at a restaurant, or buying some Alberta beef products at supermarkets to enjoy at home with your families.”
Diners can choose from the appetizers: the Beef Tartare (P1,800) or the Vietnamese beef salad (P880) made with grilled Canadian chuck, carrots, red onions, vermicelli, chili, cilantro, nuoc cham peanuts, and bean sprouts.
Signature mains include the Duo of Canadian Beef (P2800), the Josper-grilled Short Ribs “Kare-Kare” (P2,200) inspired by the Filipino dish it's named after, and the Korean BBQ Rib Fingers (P1,800) which features tender Canadian beef rib fingers with gochujang, baby potatoes, mushrooms, and spinach.
For steak selections, available are the dry-aged Angus rib eye steak, boneless (P5500 for 300g); Canada Prime rib eye steak, boneless 300g (P3800 for 300g); Canada AAA rib eye steak, bone-in (P2800 for 300g); and Canada short loin bone-in (P2900 for 300g).
