How To Order Steak Online
When looking for the best T-bone steak, if you order your beef on the internet it will save you time instead of having to browse your grocery store.
There is nothing better than a steak that is guaranteed to be a great cut. Internet stores have a broader range selection in terms of quality and cut and the steaks are delivered to you house while still fresh. Sometimes instructions on how to cook them are included.
Searching online for ‘top cuts’ or ‘prime beef’ is very simple, and will lead you to numerous online vendors. Take a look at the different cuts and guarantees that are being offered and you’ll begin to understand how much better this method of shopping for beef is and how many choices you actually have.
When comparison shopping, make sure you are considering meat that is the same grade. If you find something that is suspiciously cheap, it might be because it is a low grade of meat or it isn’t fresh.
Beef cuts come in three main categories; the ribs, the short loin and the sirloin. The rib area is where we get the Rib-eye, Rib Roast and back ribs from. These cuts are not known for their tenderness, but are still very popular. The well known cuts such as the T-Bone, Top Loin, Porterhouse and Tenderloin are all from the Short loin area and are all very tasty.
The sirloin and top sirloin steaks come from the sirloin section of the animal. Tougher cuts of meat from that section are chuck, round, and flank. In the T-bone area is where strip steaks like the New York Steak are found.
The tenderloin is obviously the most tender and soft steak. In the tenderloin area are also filet mignon, chateaubriand and tournedos. Despite the tenderness, they usually “tend” to have less flavor. However, the rib-eye is slightly less tender but a lot more flavor-packed. Fat is marbled throughout the cut and makes it taste a lot better.
The more marbling, the more flavor, however this means less tenderness. The steak is one that is a balance of the two. Top loin and sirloin are more flavorful than tenderloin but not quite as tender. You do not need to marinate these cuts or to overcook them more than medium rare.
