Bedrock Bar & Grill, awarded “Best Steakhouse in Asia” by Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards 2020, has brought back its signature World Meat Series! First launched in 2017, this unique dining experience features premium meats from different parts of the world in a single sitting.
From this month till 31 March 2021, diners will be transported to Yamaguchi Japan, home to the Jukuho Farm and its famed Yamaguchi Aged wagyu beef.
While “aged wagyu” usually refers to beef that has been hung or placed on a rack to dry for several weeks, Jukuho Farm uses the term to refer to its approach to cattle rearing, as the farm specialises in producing beef from cows that are “refattened” after they have calved. This process changes the quality of the meat, imparting a unique umami flavour that is not found through typical rearing techniques.
As a firm believer of “treating [his] ingredients with respect”, Isaac Tan, Executive Chef at Bedrock bar & Grill, has created three dishes that showcase the rich, distinctive flavour of this beef in tribute to the people who have painstakingly raised the cattle with care.
The Bone Marrow Tartare (SGD36++) showcases hand-chopped ribeye cap atop roasted bone marrow. The dish is garnished with mountain caviar, known as “Tonburi”. Originating from the Akita Prefecture in Japan, these glossy, greenish-black seeds of the bassia scoparia herb resemble sturgeon roe. A chopped parsley salad on the side also offers a touch of freshness.
In the Applewood Smoked Wagyu Tataki (SGD42++), aged ribeye cap is served with tangy pickled radish and pumpkin strips, grated hard-boiled egg for a touch of richness, and a sprinkle of puffed rice on the beef.
Then there is the hearty Woodfire Grilled Fullblood Aged Wagyu Striploin (SGD148++), grilled over Bedrock’s signature applewood fire grill and served with housemade sansho pepper sauce, accompanied by beef fat Yukon Gold potatoes.
The World Meat Series at Bedrock Bar & Grill is in its fifth year and has since featured premium beef from Ireland as well as TE MANA LAMBTM – also known as the wagyu of lamb – from New Zealand. Bedrock’s World Meat Series changes its menu every quarter, and brings a fresh take on meats from around the world with every change.
