Customer Solutions Chef, Danny Markowicz, expects to see a rise in the following trends during the upcoming Fall and Winter season.

Securing Success During The Holiday Season Plan your meat and seafood offering in advance.

With an increase in demand, supply can be tight for certain proteins, such as turkeys, beef ribs, strips and tenderloins, causing prices to rise leading up to big holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The key to maximize profitability is to work with your account manager to book your usage for popular proteins in the Summer or early Fall.

page 3

Opt for value-added products.

Differentiate your holiday menu.

Our expert butchers are here to relieve pressure from your operation with high quality products. You can save on labour costs with your backof-house operation by using partially or fully prepared proteins. With varying degrees of preparation done in advance, such as portioning to pre-cooking, you can reap the benefits of zero food waste and improved consistency and yields.

Building a menu that stands out from the competition, while still expanding on your existing signature offering is key to bringing in new and loyal patrons.

Consider limited time offers (LTOs) that are elevated by taking advantage of unique products offered under our niche, exclusive product brands, or use less popular cuts.

MENU INSPIRATION Chefs love the versatility of butcher-prepared ground lamb leg. This pure lamb grind is great for burgers, meatballs, and in luxurious pasta sauces. Grilling isn’t limited to just the warmer months, so here we’ve taken a Persian-style approach and formed the grind into kebabs. The warm spices of saffron and sumac in the kebab compliment the mild flavours that our ground Australian lamb is known for.

Achieving the perfect grazing board is all about balance. Guests will come to expect certain classics like prosciutto and salami, however you can take your offering to the next level by including a smoked seafood section on the grazing board. For additional margin potential, considering adding caviar, roe and blinis as a premium add-on or standalone menu option.

10612 | 4 x 7.8kg

Certified Angus Beef ® Striploin 0x1 X-Trim, Fresh

The standing bone-in rib roast is the grand champion of all prime rib roasts. Rub with herb pepper, roast 15 minutes at 450˚F and continue roasting at 325˚F until 125˚F for medium rare perfection.

Rich flavour, juicy tenderness, impressive marbling and no bones to deal with are just a few of the perks of using a boneless ribeye at your carving station. As well, this cut holds temp very well during banquets.

The strip roast is perfect for carving stations, which has a higher margin opportunity and less yield loss from cooking than the rib, but still has exceptional tenderness, consistency and an impressive appearance.

12229 | 5 x 6.4kg

DON’T DOWNGRADE ON QUALITY Your guests will pay for Certified Angus Beef ® for the following top three reasons:

VALUE CONSISTENCY REPUTATION Certified Angus Beef® Striploin, Fresh 12229 | 5 x 6.4kg

Certified Angus Beef ® Inside Round X-Trim, Fresh

Certified Angus Beef ® Outside Flat X-Trim, Fresh

13030 | 3 x 11kg

13020 | 4 x 6.5kg

The inside round is a popular choice for roasting due to its great beefy flavour, moderate tenderness and versatility.

For these reasons, it has been a top choice for buffets serving 50 or more guests.

A classic for banquets because the outside flat is a lean, economical cut with great flavour. When roasted in the oven, slice thin against the grain to maximize tenderness.

page 17

All cuts and grinds of Certified Angus Beef ® meet the brand’s rigorous 10 standards. When market prices are high or availability of a cut scarce, we recommend using an alternate cut of Certified Angus Beef ® for the menu item.

WHOLE FISH FEAST OF THE SEVEN FISHES As fans of FX’s hit show, The Bear, the ICP team members behind this guide couldn’t help but include a feature on the traditional Italian meal served on Christmas Eve, the feast of the seven fishes. The traditions for how to prepare the seven fish types vary from family to family, so we chose to mainly focus our featured fish on types that could be served whole. From a seafood processor’s perspective, there are varying degrees for how a “whole” fish can be prepared, all of which improve consistency and yields for your operation.

Follow below to understand the key terms of seafood butchery:

WHOLE - Whole implies zero

processing has been done to the fish, so the head is attached and it has not been gutted.

SCALED - You guessed

it! This means the scales have been removed while keeping the skin attached.

DRESSED - Whole fish

that have been gutted and scaled, and usually the fins are removed as well but the head is still attached.

BUTTERFLY - Similar to dressed but taken one step further by splitting the fish open, producing two sides that are still joined at the back. page 20

WHITE STRIPE LAMB MENU INSPIRATION Netted, boneless lamb legs offer great labour savings, consistent cook time, and have a 100% yield. The netting around the rolled boneless leg helps keep the leg’s shape even during the cooking process. Once cooked to your liking, the leg will keep its shape and you can carefully remove the netting, then carve ondemand for your guests.

Once your guests have received their slices of tender, mildly flavoured Australian lamb, have them complete their dish with a luxurious build-your-own pita station. Include olives, hummus and other Greekinspired toppings for a unique spin on the traditional carving station accouterments.
