Listen to this articleBelow is our recent interview with Matt Crowley, owner of Chicago Steak Company:
Q: What makes a great steak? Can you educate our readers?
A: When it comes to making an awesome steak, you’ve got to start with great quality beef and then make sure you cook it properly. Great quality steaks come from cattle that raised on a natural, healthy diet in spacious conditions that allow them to roam about comfortably. Those conditions will result in beef that is well marbled (those fat flecks inside your steak) and that means they will be packed with flavor. When shopping for steaks, make sure you look for the USDA Grade. USDA Prime is the best and represents the top 2-3% of beef in the US. Additionally, you want to look for aged beef instead of fresh beef. By aging a steak, you allow it to break down a bit and it results in a more tender, juicy, and flavorful steak. To summarize, I’d look for an Aged USDA Prime Steak that is responsibly & sustainably raised. When it comes to cooking your steak, we’ve got a wealth of information at Steak University on how to cook your steaks properly, but cooking a steak to medium or medium-rare is the ideal way to get the maximum flavor and tenderness without drying out the steak.
