Grill Section Study Notes
Question for guests: ALL STEAKS & GRILLS are served with: Chips OR rice OR a baked potato (BP) and onion rings, OR TWO HOT VEG
Guests may elect to have TWO hot vegetables INSTEAD of Chips, rice, BP or onions.
Chips, rice or baked potato may be exchanged for salad at an additional cost of R______
PLEASE NOTE, SALADS ARE STILL INCLUDED WITH SLIMMER’S STEAK AND SALAD BURGERS
Question for guests: If baked potato: Butter & sour cream?
Should the name of a dish not specify what type of steak is included: the steak part is usually sirloin.
The manager may also use rump if he wishes to do so.
If the guest would like a fillet on a ‘steak’ product, he will be charged an additional cost of R______, as fillet is an expensive cut. Please inform the guest if he requests this of you.
“in the hand” means no chips, bp, or onion rings
All meals served with a slice of cheese are called on as “yellow”
All grilled meats are covered in spur basting & sprinkled with spur seasoning salt, to give it “that spur taste”
An example has been provided for you with certain “steak” products, to indicate when you should sell a sauce. Any sauce may be recommended.
Product Weights
NOTE: These weights are an indication of weight in raw state / or before being grilled. Spur Steak Ranches only use Super A Grade meat to ensure our customers get served only the best products available to us.
An easy way to remember meat weights is by grouping the weights together. This will help you learn the grill section today.

Steaks and Grills: Notes
When you ask a guest, “How would they like their steak done” they will answer with one of the following answers.
B = Blue (Almost raw)
R = Rare
MR = Medium Rare
M = Medium
MW = Medium Well
WD = Well done
VWD = Very Well done (The most well cooked steak)
ALL Medium-rare, Rare & Blue STEAKS ARE SERVED ON HOT SKILLETS (CAST IRON PLATES)
RUMP: Tastiest of the steaks (contains fat)
FILLET: Tenderest of the steaks (soft) (no fat)
SIRLOIN: In between the two, Has some of Rump’s taste and some of Fillet’s tenderness. (Contains fat)
It is therefore advisable to recommend fillet to elderly people and ladies, as the steak is tender.

Buffalo Wings
Ribs
Chops
Chicken (Ranch & Kiddies)
or any meal eaten in the hand, or which contains a bone – (excluding the T-bone).

Hot Rocks – Study Notes
Remember that this concept is unique to SPURS - no one else has it in South Africa. It is important for us to note a few points concerning the hot rock. WHAT IS THE HOT ROCK? The Hot Rock concept allows customers to cook food at their table using a tray which has a very hot tile on it, a baked potato a portion of chips, a portion of fried onions & chopped parsley. The meat on the Hot Rocks will be cut thicker, allowing the customer enough space on the tile to slice his steak. The meat goes to the table unseasoned. When serving the Hot Rock, the customer has a choice of two free sauces.
