Grilled Rib Eye Cap with Yuzu-Kosho Monte & Shaved Bonito

By: John Cuevas

American Wagyu Cap of Ribeye meets Asian-influenced inspiration with this unique and flavorful recipe from Chef John Cuevas.

Beurre Monte, the classic butter-based sauce, gets a spicy and tart umami blast from the Japanese condiment, yuzu kosho. (It’s easy to find in Asian stores or online.) Like many Japanese dishes, the succulent beef is topped with shaved bonito flakes for visual and flavor appeal

John was classically trained from Le Cordon Blue, Scottsdale, AZ. From there, his culinary roots were established working with industry leading chefs and iconic fine dining restaurants in Arizona and California such as Mary Elains at the Phoenician and Studio at Montage Laguna Beach. He has been recognized with a nomination from the James Beard House for Best Chef, Pacific.
