2. Offer more variety
Burgers and steaks still lead when it comes to consumers’ preferred beef preps, but they’re calling for a greater variety than simply grilled beef. Ethnic dishes, such as Mexican fajitas and enchiladas, Japanese beef teriyaki and Middle Eastern gyros were mentioned. As far as pork goes, consumers prefer grilled, barbecued and smoked preparations, and are into seeing more pork belly and ribs on menus.
