The latest brand from the Wang Group, "CooK BEEF!, will officially open on February 5. The brand concept combines classic Western steaks with the iconic Eastern staple of rice, aiming to create five-star steak rice at an affordable price. Its five main dishes are priced between NT$220 and NT$320.

The five main dishes include beef, pork, and duck, namely CooK Tender Steak, Jazz Rose Steak, Wild Veal Ribs, Rockin’ Cherry Duck, and BBQ Tatu Pork. The signature dish is the CooK Tender Steak — a medium-rare pink steak that has been sous-vide cooked, then sliced into 1 cm thick pieces and neatly arranged over Taiwan’s Zhuoshui rice, topped with a semi-runny egg to satisfy many people’s cravings for meat.

The Wild Veal Ribs are made with New Zealand veal that is naturally grass-fed and free-range, with only two ribs available per cow. They are served with a 75°C water-bath sous-vide egg — dipping the ribs in the egg enhances the flavor. The Jazz Rose Steak features USDA Choice beef thinly sliced at 3 mm and stacked in layers, topped with the chef’s special scallion salt sauce. The Rockin’ Cherry Duck uses Yilan cherry duck with traceable production, seared at 280°C to achieve a golden, crispy skin paired with a slow-cooked black diamond mulberry sauce that takes six hours to prepare. The most affordable option is the "BBQ Tatu Pork" at just NT$220, featuring “golden six taels” pork — only 200g per pig — known for its tenderness.

Chen Ya-ning, brand manager of CooK BEEF!, said that light meals, single-item focus, and fast fashion were among the key concepts considered when developing the new brand. In the end, the team decided to combine Western steak with Eastern rice to create CooK BEEF!. Building on the group’s existing strengths in the steak category, they set the goal of creating five-star steak rice. “Five-star” also sounds like the Taiwanese phrase meaning “to save money.” The affordable pricing is designed to meet current consumer needs, making it a place worth visiting often. In the future, CooK BEEF!, will accelerate the launch of new products, including limited-time offerings and upgrade add-ons.

While most restaurants in the market currently emphasize charcoal-grilled dishes… The chef at the beef brand, CooK BEEF!, insists on serving medium-rare steaks with pink, tender centers. Chef Wu Wei-xun, who has accumulated 15 years of R&D culinary experience at brands such as Wang Steak, Tasty Steak, and Yakiniku Premium, uses sous-vide low-temperature cooking methods to ensure that every bite of steak remains consistently tender and perfectly cooked from first to last. This approach makes the steak the star of the brand.
