How To Buy The Best Steak For Your Money

About this video

The Gentleman’s Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to purchasing quality steaks, covering how to evaluate cuts, marbling grades, and different beef types including USDA ratings, grass-fed options, Angus, Kobe, Akaushi, and dry-aged varieties. The team discusses where to buy steaks—from grocery stores to butcher shops and farmers markets—and shares their personal preferences for selecting and sourcing high-quality beef.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that marbling (intramuscular fat) is crucial when buying steaks, and that USDA Prime grade offers superior flavor compared to Select or Choice grades, though the difference is most noticeable between Prime and Select rather than Choice and Prime
• The Gazette team contends that while grass-fed beef contains more omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed beef, the difference is modest compared to other foods like salmon, and personal preference should guide the choice between grass-fed and conventional beef
• The Gazette team recommends shopping at local butchers or farmers markets for better knowledge of sourcing and the ability to order custom cuts and dry-aged beef, and cautions that most ‘Kobe beef’ sold in the US is not authentic, as true Kobe is rare and extremely expensive
