Help to choose the right Steak…..

Choosing a Steak
There are several things to know when buying steak, but these are the most important.

* Color – To ensure the freshness of a steak, it should be bright red on all sides.
* Marbling – These are the little fat lines that run through a steak and determine the grade and essentially the flavor. Remember just like I always say, fat equals flavor.
* Bone-in or Out – Bone-in can mean more flavor, but less meat and more expensive.
* Price – Obviously this is a big factor in determining whether or not you can purchase it.
Grade – The grade of steak is determined by the cow’s diet, the amount of marbling and a few other factors. The highest grade of steak is U.S. Prime followed by U.S. Choice. The lowest grade of steak is U.S. Select. Heinen’s sources nothing lower than U.S. Choice.
