Heat Application
Live fire is the foundational heat source of this section: hardwood embers sustain whole cuts over long, unhurried hours, and the rotisserie extends that same logic to continuous service. The wok enters as a second heat discipline — high, fast, and direct — producing a stir-fried beef that is served simultaneously over rice and fried potatoes.
