Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar Goes a Cut Above, Launches New Steak and Wine Menu Highlighting Dry-Aged New Steak Classics

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar launched its new menu nationwide featuring dry-aged steaks, bold cuts and enticing Steak Companions. The restaurant debuted dry aging preparation for richer, bolder flavor on select cuts and delicious Steak Companions and sauces for an elevated taste experience that goes above and beyond the classic steak.

"We've crafted an indulgent menu with a spotlight on steak, but take each cut to the next level," said Chef Russell Skall, Fleming's Corporate Executive Chef. "We're introducing preparation techniques like dry aging our Prime beef on popular cuts, to serving each steak with surprising flavor profiles - we've got something for the purists and the adventurers."

All steak cuts are classically and expertly seasoned with kosher salt and black pepper then broiled at 1,600 degrees or iron-crusted and finished with butter and fresh parsley. Delicious new items and preparation techniques include:

• Steak Companions:
  • Truffled Poached Lobster with bernaise sauce and caviar
  • Diablo Shrimp baked with a spiced barbeque butter sauce
  • King Crab with Herb Butter simmered with fresh herbs and garlic and topped with caviar
  • Flavor Trio with three steak spreads - gorgonzola and mascarpone brulée, sweet onion bacon jam and cabernet mustard
• Varied Preparation Techniques:
  • Dry Aged – Cuts aged a minimum of 21 days allowing a richer, bolder flavor with a distinctive nutty note (available for the Prime New York Strip and the Prime Dry Aged Ribeye);
  • Wet Aged – Cuts aged a minimum of 21 days providing a juicy, flavorful and savory bite (available for Prime Bone-In, New York Strip, Prime Bone-In Ribeye and Filet Mignon);

To perfectly pair with its new menu, the restaurant also released the 2014 edition of its award-winning wine list, the Fleming's 100^®, featuring 100 wines by the glass. This industry recognized wine program offers guests a choice of a variety of wines, personally chosen by Fleming's National Director of Wine, Maeve Pesquera. Pesquera curates the lists over nine months, selecting an extensive list of varietals from both popular and up-and-coming wine regions.  The list includes 30 wines of exceptional value priced at $10 dollars or less, featuring classics and not-to-miss boutique selections.

"The new Fleming's 100^® is the very best list in the 15-year history of Fleming's," said Pesquera. "Not only are we offering popular wines of today, but we're putting the spotlight on the cult wines and standouts of tomorrow."
