Steaks & Meat Dishes

The highlight of Blue Bovine’s menu is the 44-ounce tomahawk steak, aged for 28 days to enhance its flavor and tenderness. Sourced from Nebraska, this cut brings a rich, deep taste and melt-in-your-mouth texture. It’s seared on an 1,800-degree Southbend grill, locking in those natural flavors, and simply seasoned to let the quality of the beef take center stage. With a price tag of $245, it reflects the premium experience, making it a standout choice for steak lovers looking for a high-quality, flavor-packed dish.

Blue Bovine boasts a selection of over 30 premium cuts of meat sourced globally, offering something for every steak enthusiast:

Ontario Bone-in Rib-eye: Locally sourced and known for its marbling and robust flavor.
Nebraska Barrel-cut Filet: A leaner, tender cut that is both delicate and flavorful.
Australian Wagyu & Japanese Kobe Beef: For those seeking something unique, these highly prized cuts offer an unmatched melt-in-your-mouth experience.
