3 Steakhouses With the Freshest Steaks, According to a Butcher
Butchers obviously know a thing or two about meat and understand when beef isn’t served at its freshest so when chain steakhouses don’t deliver top-notch quality, butchers can tell immediately.
”The less fresh your steak is when it gets to the table the dryer and less flavorful it is,” says Brad Baych Chef / Butcher / Content Creator at Butcher Wizard and author of Primal Cuts: A Butcher’s Guide to Selecting, Preparing, and Perfecting Beef.
While there’s no shortage of restaurants that serve steak, not every place gets it right. “My biggest tip for getting fresh steaks in a restaurant is don’t order steaks at a restaurant that doesn’t sell a lot of steaks,” says Chef Brad.
