This is a semi-final draft of the Monti's plate-presentation and beef cuts orientation. Needs some re-shoots of plates with steak knives and different garnishes, as well as examples of uncooked steaks.
1. Monti’s La Casa Vieja Menu Item Presentation Specifications by Michael Monti 11/6/2009 1
2. Monti’s Standards and Specs This presentation contains our complete menu and proper plate appearance shots If a plate is not correct, REFUSE to take it out of the kitchen! Do not change standards without authorization from the General Manager Our quality must be consistent, every time 11/6/2009 2
3. Monti’s Standards and Specs 2 Steaks and chops are seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic unless a customer requests them plain. No MSG is used! Become an expert on our menu items--it will make you more effective at upselling by giving you credibility with the guest! If you need information that is not presented here, ask! We want you to know as much as possible about the food we serve. 11/6/2009 3
4. Steaks How to recognize the basic cuts of beef served at Monti’s 11/6/2009 4
6. Beef Quality Grading USDA beef quality grades are Prime, Choice, Select, Standard, Commercial, Utility, Cutter and Canner. Grading is voluntary, not all carcasses are quality graded. Packers may apply their own "house brand" to merchandise their beef. Carcasses merchandised as ungraded beef usually are those that do not grade Choice or Prime. They generally are termed "No Roll" beef by the industry, because a grade stamp has not been rolled on the carcass. Monti’s uses choice steak cuts and commercial tenders (filet). We are about to begin using a No Roll tender that is exclusively Arizona-raised beef that will bring a much higher quality to our filets. 11/6/2009 6
8. Filet -- from Tenderloin Tenderloin - Although considered by many to be the most tender cut of beef, this portion of the loin seems to have less of that meaty flavor. Monti’s serves center cut filet steaks. 11/6/2009 8
9. Short Loin Short Loin Steak Cuts from this area are very tender, and can be prepared without the aid of moist heat or long cooking times. Note position of Tenderloin in middle 11/6/2009 9
10. Sterling Silver Beef Sterling Silver®: Hand-selected cuts from the upper two-thirds of Choice and Prime meet or exceed the most rigorous marbling standards in the industry. Only one in five of Choice or higher cattle meet our quality requirements. Shamrock Foods is the nation’s largest foodservice volume distributor of Sterling Silver Premium beef. 11/6/2009 10
11. Porterhouse Cut from the rear end of the short loin. It consists of a hefty chunk of tenderloin with an even heftier chunk of sirloin tip. 11/6/2009 11
12. Rib Eye Steak 14 oz 14 oz choice rib eye 11" Round Plate3 oz. Fresh VegetablesChoice of Side Rib Eye steak is cut from the same area as the prime rib, but is broiled instead of slow-cooked 11/6/2009 12
