  • Volk puts two grades of the same cut of steak head to head to find out if it's worth forking out a little more when shopping for your meat.

    I've been fortunate enough to have family members who are 'top chefs' (Michelin star etc) and we all agree, one of the top 3 places for steak we've ever eaten, was at a certain local pub. A friend worked at the butcher that supplied the chef and they told us that he always bought the cheapest (or one of) meats, but he used to cook it so fantastic, it felt like a steak worth 5-10X as much.

    See if garlic basting with traditional butter, ghee, margarine, beef tallow, or chili oil is best. Cook steak, turn burner to low, throw in garlic, drop in butter/ghee/tallow/chili oil, tilt pan, baste the steak thoroughly, remove from pan, rest, cut, eat.
    I'm guessing butter/ghee will be best, but if one of the other options works well, then it'll be cool to know a non-dairy alternative.
