Meat Lover’s Set — two- ounce portions of four different types of beef served with rice, salad, miso soup, and eda- mame for $11 — and added a foil-wrapped packet of broccoli crowns for two bucks. I started by trying one piece each of all four beef choices: hanger steak, rib eye, and a pair of thinly sliced cuts the restaurant calls yaki- shabu and toro beef. Yaki-shabu seems to
be a reference to both the thin slices of shabu shabu used in hot-pot cooking and to the spit-fired cooking of yaki- tori. Basically, it’s thin shav- ings of steak that sear quickly. The toro beef is a take on toro tuna, the fatty underbelly of the fish — thin like the shabu but fattier. Fatty in a good way. Gyu-Kaku uses a variety of
marinades for each cut, rang- ing from sweet shoyu and miso to savory garlic and white soy,
The finished product, hot off the grill
so each cut of steak differed in flavor as well as texture. All of them were satisfying, and I forgot all about the ahi. The foil packet of broccoli turned out pretty well, too. I look forward to return-
ing with a group of friends to try a bigger variety of dishes and enjoy the hilarious social interaction that always comes from fighting over tongs while grilling at your table. by Ian Anderson
