Steak is best grill on open fire or special high tempature oven.

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.
7 E+ [7 L7 o8 A" G% V/ SIt's the best because you don't need to add any oil, and keep the raw favor of the steak.0 o+ x, d  f- v, C

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging".

Sing can explain the science behind this.+ b! h3 K& U% Y/ o. N0 M

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 5 P" n/ I) m/ v; {: v
& V6 u$ _+ h. z/ i& U
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.
