Quality meat makes a huge difference in steak

[diwataaa]

So I went to a meat store and picked up some major really high quality meats above the costco stuff and it definitely taste much closer. The main different I think is the ribeye has so much more marbling so that every bite has good flavors from the fat. A lot of USDA grade steaks I bought from Costco just don't have enough flavor no matter how good I season it. But getting a good quality steak from a butcher makes a lot of difference.

High-quality meat, like ribeye from a butcher, really enhances the flavor and tenderness of steak. Worth the extra cost!

Upgraded from Costco to butcher shop steaks and wow, the difference is night and day! Ribeye marbling is key to juicy flavor. Worth the splurge!
