Tips On Buying Steaks
January
Many people love steak and buy from their local market store. There are some that don’t know what to look for when buying the steak. Here are some suggestions that you can follow:
- Get to know your local buther at the meat/deli store
- Buy the best grade of meat you can afford…Prime, Choice, Select in that order
- If possible, buy from the butchers counter not the pre-packaged section
- Look for steaks with fine texture and firm to the touch
- Look for the color to be a light cherry red , not deep red, and stay away from gray meat
- Find a steak that has marbling. It is the thin threads of fat running through the meat that makes it Prime and gives it that incredible flavor
- Dry aging is considered better than wet aging but that may be a matter of taste. However, avoid meat that has no aging and is too fresh
- To compliment the taste of your steak, buy steak seasoning from us! Dean & Danny Custom Food Seasonings
