You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.

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

Sing can explain the science behind this.7 z. }" G! D4 w7 X, V( |5 \

8 O8 ^3 A+ U, M; A6 ], }8 d1 X. sAging 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 _8 M" K' ?$ k6 e* U. \/ s5 j8 BSo 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.
