Steak is a cut of beef that is cut across the grain of muscle fibers, improving the apparent tenderness of the meat. Tenderness and flavor are main considerations when determining the quality of a piece of Steak. Tender cuts of Steak such as rib and tenderloin are cuts that are cooked using dry heat. Moist tenderization is required for less tender cuts of Steak, and while still flavorful, these cuts are ideal for stews and stir-fries. Steaks are usually grilled, broiled, or fried in a pan. Steak may be cooked depending on personal preference – shorter cooking times create a rare Steak that is tender and juicy, while longer cooking times produce a medium to well-done drier tougher piece of Steak.
Steak contains many nutrients, vitamins and minerals such as protein which contains essential amino acids needed to regulate bodily functions.
