Whether you plan to fire up delicious steaks for your family this summer, or you hope to enjoy one on your next dinner out, you may be wondering—what makes a great steak? In today’s blog, we will be taking a look at the four key factors that make a steak juicy, delicious and allaround unforgettable.
The quality of steak
While seasoning and finesse in the kitchen can go a long way in making a steak extra delicious, nothing can top the inherent quality of well-raised meat, what happens to steak before it ever makes its way into the kitchen. At Stonewood, we pride ourselves in exactly this: the highquality, dependable places our steak comes from. We use corn-fed Midwestern beef that has earned our seal of approval due to its taste, tenderness and overall quality. It’s always good to know where your food comes from, and we strive to make that as clear and simple as possible.
Age
Why do we age beef? In short, it gives the meat the tenderness and rich flavor you’ve come to know and love, intensifying the quality of an already superb steak in the process.
Special seasoning
An experienced chef knows that simplicity in seasoning is key—after all, not much is needed to bring out the flavors of a top-quality steak! Our chefs use a signature seasoning blend that accentuates the steak instead of overpowering it and masking those unparalleled natural flavors.
How it’s cooked
The way your steak is cooked has, of course, a huge impact on how it tastes and feels. That is why we take special care in the preparation and grilling of our steaks, so that they taste even better once they get to your table. You can enjoy our popular oak-grilled method today with a delicious Sirloin or New York Strip Steak.
We hope that today’s blog gives you a better appreciation for the steak you already love, whether you prepare it at home or enjoy it with us here at Stonewood Grill & Tavern. We look forward to seeing you soon!
