In recent years, more and more people have developed a love for beef. Not only is high-quality meat sought after, but the cooking process also can't be overlooked. In the past, it was commonly believed that beef could only be made into expensive dishes in small portions. But now, many businesses are offering premium beef prepared with various cooking techniques, allowing everyone to enjoy unique and delicious flavors.

1. CookBEEF!

CookBEEF!, or “Kù Bì Fēi,” combines Western-style steaks with Eastern rice to create an unconventional and delightful fusion. Generous servings of beef and rice feature USDA Choice grade beef, cooked using five-star hotel-level sous-vide techniques to deliver the most delicious combination right to every food lover’s plate.

As a brand under the Din Tai Fung group, CookBEEF!, or “Kù Bì Fēi,” takes a different approach this time by adopting an affordable pricing strategy. Far from compromising on quality due to the lower price, it actually pays even more attention to detail in every aspect of the dish. The interior features an industrial-style design, with plenty of lively patterns and illustrations. Unlike traditional steakhouse methods of grilling steak on a hot iron plate, it’s said that the popular low-temperature cooking method—“sous-vide technology”—helps retain more juices and proteins, resulting in more tender meat.

This new combination also offers more ways to enjoy beef—whether paired with rice and side dishes or simply dipped in sauce, each bite brings a different experience. Coupled with its friendly pricing, the overall experience becomes even more satisfying.

Shan Rice is a creative dish that combines Japanese rice preparation techniques with Western culinary methods. It is also an alternative beef dish. Not only is its appearance eye-catching, but the runny half-cooked egg on top is also mouthwatering.
