How to Choose Good Beef for Steak
- Beef for steak does not necessarily have to be the best part of the cow. Remember, each piece of meat is suitable for different dishes. For steak, you should choose a piece of meat with marbling, as the fat will melt during cooking, making the meat rich and not dry.
- Choose fresh meat that is not dark red, with small, tender fibers. Avoid large and tough fibers. The beef fat should be bright yellow, with white and firm tendons; avoid soft fat.
- Gently press the meat with your finger to feel its good elasticity. If it doesn’t stick to your hand and has no foul smell, you can choose a fresh piece of beef to prepare your dishes.

Successful Cooking Tips
- Thaw the meat before cooking: If your meat is frozen, you should thaw it before marinating so that when cooked, the piece of meat does not become mushy and absorbs the seasoning unevenly.
- For the pan, when it is hot, add the meat for searing over medium heat. Searing does not need to take too long, about 3 minutes; wait until it is golden brown to flip. When the meat turns golden, reduce the heat to cook it thoroughly from the inside. Those who enjoy rare meat would find it best. Do not try to cook the meat too well done as overcooked beef will become dry. While searing, you can add some crushed garlic to enhance the aroma.
- Use simple seasoning: The simpler the marinade for the steak, the more delicious it will be. Just use salt and pepper, rub it well with your hands to let the meat absorb the seasoning, add olive oil, and let the meat rest for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Check the doneness of the meat by relying on the firmness of the meat to determine its color inside. Rare – the inside of the meat is very red, moist, and slightly warm; Medium rare – the inside of the meat is still red and hot; Medium – the center of the meat has a red color, surrounded by pink, and is warm; Medium well – the inside of the meat is pink and hot; Well done – the inside of the meat has completely lost its pink color, the fibers are brown-gray but still retain moisture, and the meat is very hot. Another method is to use a cooking thermometer to check the desired level of doneness of the meat. For example, at the 6th minute of grilling, the meat still has a pinkish red inside, and at the 8th minute, the meat is more well done and has a pale pink color.
