HOW TO PLATE STEAK

Four simple principles for restaurant-style steak plating.

Looking for steak plating ideas? See how the position of the beef fillet, sides, sauce, height and negative space can turn a good steak into a restaurant-style plate.

Create one focal point

Let the fillet lead the composition. A slightly off-centre position usually creates more tension than rigid centring.

Use sauce to connect

Treat sauce as a controlled line or base. It should connect the components visually rather than drown the meat.

Group the sides

Potatoes, vegetables or salad work better in deliberate groups with clear direction than when scattered around the plate.

Keep negative space

Do not fill every centimetre. Empty space makes the plate feel more precise and gives the ingredients more value.
