You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.
# i5 v9 b) I' X: t% MIt's the best because you don't need to add any oil, and keep the raw favor of the steak.4 t6 d0 {) ^2 Z) f8 n

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging".! W( e( v6 N+ m9 F; y3 n5 m! ~

1 n" q  d! x' {Aging is a process that store the steak in a low temputare enviroment for usually 28 days or more.  This process make the steak taste better.  There are 2 kind of agina method, "dry age" and "wet age".  "dry aged" steak is more expensive and is perfered ( ]* v* t( j9 C8 g$ Y
' {- X0 j1 D% a$ Y" W" k7 \2 a9 E
So aged steak cost more than fresh steak.  The price difference can be more than double for a aged steak in north america.  The best steak house always served dry aged steak.  So next time the you go to a resturant, you know what kind of stuff they are serving you.
