Ideal for classic preparations such as vitello tonnato, roast or braised dishes, thanks to its regular shape that allows thin, even slices. Suggested for raw, carpaccio-style slicing or for slow cooking that brings out its tenderness. It works well in restaurants and trattorias, where it can be portioned to order for hot or cold dishes. Traditionally used in Italian cuisine for meat main courses and for banqueting buffets, where the uniformity of the cut makes plating straightforward.
