A tasty grilled steak begins with a good raw steak. But how do you tell a good steak from a regular steak? Most of us go to the butcher, whether it’s the corner meat market, supermarket or online store, and find what can appear to be an unending row of steaks. There are a couple of things to look for when buying a steak. First, there is the grade. The grade speaks about the quality of the meat based on marbling and age. The second factor is the cut. Different cuts have different qualities. Finding the right cut for what you want to grill is probably the most important part of an excellent steak.
