The Best Beef for your Buck

Summer is an ideal time for grilling out, enjoying barbecue with family and friends and having a great tasty steak. Whether you’re taking steaks to your neighbors’ house for a friendly potluck style cookout or firing up the grill in your own backyard, it’s good to get a lay of the land and know exactly what type of steak will make the best meal for you and your hungry guests. Here we take a look at some of the finest cuts of steak that are sure to be palate pleasers. Some of these are available at grocery stores, but keep in mind, that the better the meat, the higher the demand. You can buy steaks online and get them shipped direct to your door. Hopefully these tips will assist you in choosing wisely.

USDA Prime Porterhouse is the highest quality of USDA cut meat that you can get. A corn fed prime porter that has been dry aged is great if you’re looking for a hearty piece of meat. The porterhouse can easily be cooked on a charcoal grill and served up meat and potatoes style.

If you’re looking for something that is even higher quality than prime beef, consider wagyu steaks, which are super tender. Wagyu beef has a much higher fat content than prime quality beef, but it is actually a good fat, coming from omega 3s and omega 6s which have additional health benefits. When looking for kobe steaks online, check out the origin of the meat. Although Wagyu originally comes from Japan, there are also Wagyu cattle breeders in Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

Wagyu steaks are great when seared, or you can choose to eat them Kobe slider style, which is an increasingly popular appetizer or even a meal. Kobe sliders are perfect if you have a hungry army of little kids to feed. Try setting up a Kobe slider bar where kids can assemble their own with a variety of fresh ingredients.
Although everyone has the craving for a fast-food burger once in a while, the quality of this beef is pretty low as compared to the other available options. Sure, you can get a cheap burger for as little as 99 cents, but it won’t taste nearly as good as something like a Wagyu burger. Sometimes it’s nice to treat yourself, your family and your friends to a meal that they simply won’t forget.
