Shimo opening menu (Dec. 3)

Opening Menu for Shimo


Doors open on Chef Douglas Keane (and company’s) Healdsburg steakhouse, Shimo, December 3.
Opening menu:
shimo furi (she mõ furé )
Japanese for frost; refers to the snow like white color of the  intramuscular  marbling in the beef, which gives it a naturally enhanced flavor, tenderness  and juiciness.
Our philosophy at Shimo differs from most traditional steakhouses and is  best explained as “quality not quantity”.  I have often thought that  steakhouse portions are too big and that six to ten ounces of high quality  protein is plenty to satiate most people.  I believe that the best steaks come from thick cuts of dry aged prime beef,  cooked on the bone and finished by searing and basting to create a  wonderful crust and delicious umami flavor.
To harmonize these seemingly opposite philosophies, most of our steaks are  larger cuts of meat but are intended to be shared by two or more people.
We have searched out the best tasting beef available and will continue to look for other cuts and styles. Please let us know if there is anything special  you would like to see on our menu.
