Welp, it definitely was really good. But it wasn't quite as mind blowing as I had hoped it would be. Basically just a near top tier grocery store steak. I also made it barely medium like you're supposed to make wagyu, I'm definitely not used to seeing juices leak out from the middle! Lol. Those that know me know that I like my steak medium-well. It probably wasn't quite worth the $10 or $11 dollars I spent on it, when looking at just the price, but I'm glad I gave it a shot.

Steaks have always kind of intimidated me. Mostly because of all the different types and the wildly varying prices of them.
The most common cuts you'll see (and are actually tasty) is strip, sirloin, and ribeye

Strip - Lean, decent flavor, but needs some spices to taste really good.
Sirloin - Some fat, fairly flavorful, but often needs to be tenderized otherwise it's tough.
Ribeye - Fatty, very flavorful, very tender from the start. Also, very juicy. But also very unhealthy.

Cooking them is very easy, because the beautiful thing about steaks is that you can "undercook" them a bit, and they are still safe to eat. It's not like chicken where it needs to be cooked all the way through, otherwise you risk getting sick. With steak, only the outside truly needs to be cooked. The inside can be rare and still safe to eat. Although to me the blood is off-putting. I like mine medium-well. Still a little bit of pink in the middle, but almost cooked all the way though. Steak is really one of the easiest things to make, as long as you don't grossly overcook it.

As for price, generally (nowadays) a.k.a. post-COVID, you're look at around $5-7 for one strip steak, $6-8 for one sirloin, and $6-9 for one Ribeye. It all depends on how large you want it. I generally go for ~8ozs which is what I have priced above. But some people only go for 6ozs. The larger the steak the more you'll pay. Generally you won't find precise steaks. I shoot for around 0.45 lbs to 0.6 lbs. You can also often find deals if the store ordered too much product.
