Steak is overrated. I’d take a smash burger over a steak 9 times out of 10, and that 1 time out of 10 will just be because I’m in the mood for peppercorn sauce.
Never had a steak that was better than a snitzel, or a stew, or smoked, or braised.
Steak is the most uncreative an flavourless way to cook beef. It is fine if you want to check the taste of the ingredient by itself, but it is a waste of meat
That’s the whole point of steak. You need to try something that’s grass fed, dried aged, and a nice medium rare. Now, using those cuts for a stew would absolutely be a waste of money. Those cuts have a lot of connective tissue and would make some pretty awful steaks.

This right here. Your average sirloin slapped on a grill and cooked by some drunk asshole all wrong is just beef that isn’t quite beef jerky yet.
But take a good porterhouse, cut it right, trim it right, dry age it right, cook it right. That’s a whole different thing.
