The Star Cuts: A Duel of Titans on the Grill
Navigating a meat menu can be overwhelming. Here we break down our gems to help you find your perfect cut.
1. Tomahawk: The Spectacle of Flavor
The Tomahawk is a high-loin ribeye with a bone of more than 30 cm. This bone not only provides an imposing presentation but also intensifies the flavor and juiciness during charcoal grilling. It is the ideal piece to share and the undisputed star of any celebration. Discover our selection in the premium aged meats section.
2. Ribeye (Ojo de Bife): The King of Marbling
Considered by many purists as the supreme cut, the Ribeye comes from the heart of the high loin. Its main characteristic is marbling, those intramuscular fat veins that melt with heat, guaranteeing a tenderness and flavor that explode on the palate. It is the perfect choice for those seeking the maximum expression of juiciness in premium meats in Tenerife.
3. Sirloin: The Elegance of Tenderness
The Sirloin is the most tender cut of beef. With a more subtle and delicate flavor, its buttery texture is its great virtue. On our grill in Costa Adeje, we treat it with the utmost respect so that it arrives at your table at its exact point of perfection. You can see all our side dishes and starters to accompany it in our full menu.

The Perfect Pairing with Canarian Wines
A culinary experience of this caliber is elevated with the right wine. For the power of the best meat cuts in Tenerife, we recommend exploring the island's red wines. A Listán Negro with barrel aging can be the ideal companion for a Tomahawk. We invite you to discover the gems of our cellar in our wine list, selected to enhance every bite.
Chef's Tips for Perfect Doneness
Achieving the desired doneness is an art. Here is our guide:
- Rare: Cold red center. Seared outside, juicy inside.
- Medium-Rare: Warm red center. The ideal point for cuts with good marbling like Ribeye.
- Medium: Pink and firm center. A balanced option.
- Well-Done: No traces of pink. Not recommended for our premium cuts, as they lose juiciness and tenderness.
