🥩 Steak Grades & Cuts

USDA Prime is the top 2% of beef—abundant marbling, incredible flavor. What the best steakhouses serve.

Choice is excellent quality, less marbling than Prime but still great. Many good steakhouses use high-end Choice.

Wagyu/A5 is Japanese beef with extreme marbling. Rich, buttery—order small portions, it's intense.

Dry-Aged beef has been aged 21-45+ days. Concentrated, funky flavor with tender texture. Premium experience.

Steakhouse Tips & Ordering

🔥 Temperature Guide

Rare = cool red center. Medium-rare = warm red (ideal for most cuts). Medium = pink center. Beyond = you're cooking out the flavor.

🍖 Cut Selection

Ribeye = most flavor (fat marbling). Filet = most tender (lean). NY Strip = balance of both. Porterhouse = best of both worlds.

🍷 Wine Pairing

Cabernet Sauvignon is classic. Malbec for ribeye. Pinot Noir for filet. Don't let the sommelier upsell you—house red is often fine.

💰 Value Tips

Lunch menus are cheaper. Skip the sides—steakhouse portions are huge. Share a porterhouse for two. Ask about off-menu specials.
