At MAITSEMÕIS OÜ, we believe that the journey to the perfect steak begins with the selection of high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients. Our chefs emphasize the importance of starting with premium cuts of meat, which are the foundation of flavor and texture in any steak dish.

Understanding the various steak cuts is essential to choosing the right one for your meal. From the robust flavor of a ribeye to the tenderness of a filet mignon, each cut offers a unique dining experience.

Selecting the Right Cut

For grilling enthusiasts, cuts like the New York strip, ribeye, and porterhouse provide the perfect balance of fat and flavor, making them ideal for the high heat of the grill.

When pan-searing, opt for cuts like the filet mignon or sirloin, which cook beautifully in the even heat of a skillet.

Preparation Before Cooking

Seasoning is a critical step in steak preparation. Our chefs recommend a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the meat.

Allowing your steak to come to room temperature before cooking ensures even cooking and optimal tenderness.
