Having dramatically changed its business practices , Giraudi Meats has become one of the largest hormone-free beef suppliers , annually selling around 90,000 tons of meat . In 2005 the family explored a new direction , opening a meat restaurant in Monaco . The founder ’ s son , Riccardo Giraudi , admits he can ’ t stand the Beefbar to be called a steak house . Meat is regarded like a rare wine here , and the restaurant ’ s menu is more like a wine list .
