March & April Spring Fever Grilled Sirloin

» Easter Menu

What does cost uncertainty mean for our beloved, traditional gatherings like Easter Brunch? Rest assured, many consumers right now are willing to pay more because they understand the need for their favorite restaurants to make accommodations necessary to succeed. Bloomberg even speculates that many consumers are willing to pay more simply because they haven’t been out in a while.

Tightening up your cost effectiveness might mean understanding what ingredients can be optimized for the most reach.

» Cinco de Mayo

challenging if you happen to be running a restaurant. A full menu might not be practical for the day, especially when you’re trying to push multiple seatings through the dining room.

One way to take the pressure off of your staff, and keep the tables turning over, is to offer a prix fixe. Create several courses, each with a couple of different options, that are easily prepped in advance and just need a quick plating to get out of the window and onto the table.

Simplifying the menu for the kitchen and selecting dishes that are easily and quickly plated can help avoid costly kitchen backups, which can limit table turnover. Mother’s Day might be only one very busy day but, if done right, it’s a great opportunity to impress new guests who might return for the rest of the year.

As the vibrant colors of spring begin to bloom, so does the anticipation for one of the most festive occasions of the year: Cinco de Mayo! Start thinking now about how you can capitalize on this fiesta by offering specials the entire weekend prior, as it falls on a Monday in 2025.

Season Braveheart Sirloin with salt and pepper, grill, and serve with a medallion of jalapeño lime butter to draw out even more flavor from the sliced sirloin, with a hint of citrusy spice. Delight your guests with a tower of garlic cilantro fries, tossed with caramelized garlic and a squeeze of lime for a perfect complement.

THE TRICK TO

Seasonal Transitions

TAKE YOUR MENU FROM WINTER TO SPRING: Ensure a smooth transition from winter to spring to make guests happy and keep costs under control with these tips.

Spring has sprung and people are flocking to restaurants to dine al fresco, enjoy light fare, and sip refreshing cold drinks. With just a few tweaks to your menu, you can ensure a smooth transition from winter to spring to make guests happy and keep costs under control. Transitioning menu items from season to season can be a challenge for establishments especially after this last year, but it’s a great opportunity to draw in more foot traffic with revamped dishes and cocktails. These tips to utilize leftover winter ingredients to create fresh spring dishes will attract customers without breaking your budget.

WINTER ROOT VEGETABLES

You might be tempted to toss leftover winter pantry items and perishables, but you can sneak many winter vegetables into spring dishes and create a whole new dish! Parsnip puree has been a staple on plates year-round for some time and goes great under a flaky white fish. However, there’s much more that can be done with this root veggie. Try roasting parsnips with leftover carrots and serving them with a mint yogurt sauce or throw them into a spinach salad.

Turnips and rutabaga can be used in

similar fashion and fit right into dishes that bridge the seasons. Pairing with bright spring onions or garlic greens can dial up the spring theme immensely. Other contenders can be celeriac with its vague celery taste that can be cooked or shredded for a salad and Jerusalem artichoke, another trendy root veg that can be served several ways, including as a puree.

GRAINS

Barley and bulgur absorb tons of flavor and add heft to winter stews and soups but can help liven up spring dishes as either a side or a grain salad. When added late to the braising process of fatty meats, like chuck or leg of lamb, they develop a deep umami flavor without the grease. Even cooked separately and livened up with fresh spring herbs like dill or mint, they will complement many rich and spicy dishes. You can even make the dishes brighter, for example featuring a harissaspiced lamb with bulgur, drizzled with a little yogurt.

LENTILS

Yet another dish that can be comfortably filling during the winter, but with the

right preparations can translate to spring menus. Consider a light arugula salad with a vinaigrette and use lentils as the base. Throw in some asparagus, peas, cherry tomatoes, and parsley and you’ve got an entirely new dish. Or test out a new burger using lentils, along with some red onion, spring greens, avocado, and big slice of tomato - a perfect vegetarian special for spring.

PASTA

Pasta dishes are so versatile and relatively low cost to produce. The challenge can be keeping them less heavy and relevant for spring. Ramps or fiddlehead ferns are a fun addition. Throw in many of your leftover root veggies here but use white wine and olive oil-based sauces in place of heavier tomato or cream-based. Pasta primavera would be a wonderful addition to the menu, as well as a veggie-filled pasta lunch dish.

Transitioning between seasons can always be a challenge, and there’s so much more than can be carried over,. But with a little creativity, you can clean out those pantries to add wonderful transition dishes that work perfectly for the season.

R O M A® SPECIA LTY PIZZA DOUGHBALLS & GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST

Roma® Specialty Pizza Doughballs and Gluten-Free Pizza Crust are truly unique products unlike other doughballs in our Roma® brand portfolio. These artisan-style pizza doughballs have a hand-crafted appearance and allow operators to create one-of-a-kind pizzas that differentiate them in the crowded pizza landscape.

Roma® Blonde (White) Pizza Dough is made with high quality, high-gluten, finely milled flour that gives our pizza dough strength, stretchability and durability an easy to use frozen pizza dough.

Roma® Specialty Pizza Doughballs have a 7-day shelf life under refrigeration and are ready to proof and use at day 4 of refrigeration. Just pull the dough from the cooler and let stand at room temperature for 20 – 30 minutes before use. Each of the flavored doughballs carry distinct flavor and bite. The Basil Doughball is slightly sweet and perfectly complementary with a well-seasoned Roma® Pizza Sauce. The Beer Doughball uses Shipyard Export Ale Beer and is aromatic and perfectly aerated. The Garlic Doughball is dense and flavorful with chunks of fresh garlic studding the dough; and the Multi-grain Doughball is a perfect balance between white and whole wheat flours.

Menu Refresh

CHALLENGE NEW CREATIONS: IE, if you are already using carrots as a side on an entrée, consider how you could use them creatively in a soup, salad, or appetizer.

It might be time to eye new ways to expand your dine-in menu offerings while keeping costs low. Here are six tips to keep in mind when cultivating menus for the crowds to come.

OFFER CUSTOMIZATIONS ON EXISTING MENU ITEMS

One way to ‘beef up’ a menu without bringing on additional inventory is to offer add-ons to existing menu items. For example, if you have a Caesar salad on the menu, you could include an option for adding proteins like chicken, steak, or fish. You could also upsell certain sandwiches and salads by adding items like cheese or avocado.

CREATE A MENU CATEGORY FOR PAIRINGS

Rather than creating new dishes, one way to expand your menu is to add a category that allows guests to pair two or more dishes for one set price. This could be as simple as a soup and salad combo or more complex, as in a prix fixe or chef’s tasting menu that combines multiple courses and optional beverage pairings.

CHALLENGE CHEFS TO BRAINSTORM

Working with the BOH staff and your inventory list, identify existing product that you already have available that can be used in different ways. For example, if you are already using carrots as a side on an entrée, consider how you could use them creatively in a soup, salad, or appetizer. Challenge your chefs to come up with a list of ideas using existing ingredients and encourage them to cost them out so that you can see what your costs would be if you choose to run a certain menu item. Some restaurant operators allow chefs to create new menu items during off-hours, with staff tastings to analyze the flavor, appearance, and marketability of the dish. This can be a great way to stimulate creativity and team building as you give a sense of ownership to your chefs.

TEST NEW ITEMS AS SPECIALS

Before you commit to adding a dish to your menu, see what reception it has as a special. This allows you to invest in a smaller amount of inventory to execute the dish and can give you a sense of where the item falls in your menu spread in terms of popularity.

HIT THE SWEET TOOTH

If you have a pastry team making your desserts in-house, you likely have most of what you need for a wide variety of dessert items. Therefore, creating adaptable, versatile desserts that appeal to consumers is achievable without bringing on much new inventory. This is another example of a menu category where you can encourage your chefs to think creatively and pitch their ideas. Adding desserts or something like boozy milkshakes is a clever way to increase customer satisfaction while increasing ticket averages.

STAY TRUE TO YOUR BRAND

It can be tempting to add menu items in the hopes of attracting new customers, but it’s important to remember what your restaurant is all about and to avoid chasing trends. Whenever you add something to your menu, ask yourself if it aligns with the vision you have for your restaurant.

BRING ON THE » trend tracker Beef

RISE ABOVE THE COMPETITION: Using thinly sliced, marinated, and grilled sirloin piled high atop herb focaccia, and slathered with tarragon mayo.

Spring dishes require a lighter touch than rich, heavy roasts — especially for serving al fresco. But it doesn’t take a menu full of chicken and shrimp to lighten the load. Check out ideas for the perfect springtime dishes centered around red meat that are filling yet refreshing.

SANDWICH SUCCESS

Burgers are great but can be considered repetitious by guests. Rise above the competition with meaty, stacked sandwiches topped with vibrant housemade salsa and bright sauces that can help taste buds — and social media feeds — pop!

Use thinly sliced, marinated, and grilled sirloin to pile high atop herb focaccia, slathered with tarragon mayo. Or try charring a variety of peppers, tomatoes, and onions and pulsing with lime juice and spices for a toppable zesty relish. Serve with peppery arugula or seasonal watercress for added crunch.

A hearty beef and pork meatloaf also works for this season when it’s — believe it or not — served cold and sliced to load onto fresh bread. For a twist on bánh mì, first brush your loaf with a hoisin/soy sauce mixture before baking. Once cooled, slice and stuff into a crusty baguette. Top with a carrot cabbage slaw dressed with rice vinegar and cilantro. No ketchup is needed here!

MEAT, MEET FRUIT

With keto and carnivore diets rising in

popularity, it’s a great idea to have a dish or two that highlights juicy cuts of quality meat paired with complementary sweet fruit. Diners are already familiar with classic meat and fruit pairings — turkey/ cranberry, pineapple/pepperoni — so you can take it to the next level and wow them with the perfect patio-pleaser.

Turn the classic Vietnamese beef and papaya salad into a succulent dish by using ripe papaya instead of green. Sear a spicy, lemongrass-seasoned steak and slice after resting. Scoop the seeds out of a halved papaya and toss in the steak along with sautéed onions, tomatoes, and peppers. The combination of heat and sweet will win your guests over.

For a tender lamb shoulder, grill and serve with a simple cherry and red wine reduction. The pop of fresh cherries will balance the pastoral flavor of lamb perfectly. And if you’re ever concerned about a dish coming off as too sweet, serve alongside a heap of greens such as mesclun or radicchio to add a bitter, balancing element.

BEYOND BBQ

Patio season is definitely a sign to fire up the grill, but it’s time to look well beyond conventional, sauce-slathered chicken and ribs. International barbecue has finally piqued the interest of Americans, and as one of the oldest cooking methods in history, there are plenty of global techniques and flavors available to reel in hungry diners looking for something different.

Spring is a perfect time to take a tip from Turkish barbecue. While the focus is on the meat, or kofta — minced cuminseasoned beef or lamb hand-squeezed into long sticks and grilled — the accompanying meze are really the star of the show, providing color to the table and also serving to cool the palate. Plate the seared meat kebabs along with sides of hummus, warm pita, thick cucumber yogurt, a finely-minced relish of red onion, tomato, parsley, and lemon, and plenty of charred serrano peppers and quartered tomatoes. A sprinkle of ground sumac is extra authentic.

Argentinian asado is another BBQ style worth adapting. As the beef-consumption capital of the world, you better believe they do it right. Grass-fed NY strip, ribeye, and skirt steak are prime options for this style, but don’t go crazy with the seasoning or sear too quickly over high temps. Argentinians use just a touch of salt to let the flavor of the meat shine, and they prefer a slow burn with low heat.

The final traditional touch is a bold, bright chimichurri sauce. There are many varieties but all center around fresh, green herbs (try not to use dried!) like parsley, cilantro, and oregano; garlic; green chilis; salt; oil and vinegar. Pulse until chopped but not a paste, and drizzle atop the steak for a plate that’s perfect for spring.

Portfolio of Products

Consistency, consistency, consistency–this is the MAIN reason I buy Braveheart. Day in and day out, I know that the steak I had a month ago will taste the same as the steak I have today. I love the flavor, the taste and the texture. Excellent.

Braveheart Black Angus Beef® offers operators a wide portfolio of superior products to meet customer demand at any level, spanning high-end steakhouses, burger joints, innovative top-tier restaurants and more. Our variety of primals and cuts ranges from wellknown, sought-after steaks to obscure, new cuts that are perfect for experimental chefs. We also sell whole subprimals (ribeyes to tenderloins) if you prefer butchering in-house. Plus, our burgers and grinds are unparalleled in terms of cook-size retention, ease of preparation, juicy flavor and performance. Braveheart Black Angus Beef® grinds are ground fresh daily and can be ground to order. This means a longer shelf life and fresher beef. A variety of grinds are available, ranging from fine to coarse, with varying fat ratios so you’ll hit the perfect blend for each and every recipe. Fresh grinds are ideal for tacos, meatballs, sauces, meatloaf and custom-blended burgers. Whatever type of beef you serve, you’ll find a superior Braveheart selection in our full line of products.

Beef Grading

Braveheart Black Angus Beef® provides only the highest quality beef from the USDA’s top grades. Beef quality is based on the cooked product’s expected eating characteristics—tenderness, juiciness and flavor. Grades are given based on the amount of marbling in the beef. Higher levels of marbling are more likely to yield tender, juicy, flavorful cuts of meat. Our beef is available in Low Choice, Upper 2/3 Choice, and Prime (the highest level of marbling in the U.S. beef grading system).
