Atman's a jerk. Those dipsquirts know absolutely nothing about the meat market. If you tried to explain the concept of contract fed beef which insures quality, their heads would explode. Meat is graded and then sold. The Grade A beef sold to Walmart is the same Grade A beef sold to the best restaurants.
Absolutely agree with you.
Reason that restaurant steak tastes so different from home made is the cooking method.
Restaurants have these little colored thingies that are used to gage the time on a open fire grill. Different colors for well done medium rare and rare. I have no idea where the public can buy these for personal use but I would love a gross of them.
Then there is in some cases what kind of marinade is used , Bourbon glaze for some finished steaks, when to use it in the preparation.
One can take Kobe steak and make it tough as shoe leather if cooked incorrectly. Seasonings, what kind and when to add them.
A good cook can take a chuck steak low grade and turn it into the best steak you ever ate.
Some Meat stores sell steaks all ready seasoned and ready to go with precise cooking directions. You do have to have some kind of meat thermometer and have some idea of if you are pan frying or on a grill. Pan frying often depends if you are using cast iron or non stick, Cooking is an ART.
To complain about a tough steak is not the fault of Walmart, it is the fault of the cook.
Poor Atman needs to buy his Momma a class in cooking and quit bitching about the food and where it is sold.
