Shortlist.com has created an “Ultimate Steak Manual” so that we can all prevail in the “battle of the beef.”

Translation:  You can one-up your friends when it comes to cooking the best steak dinner.

And that’s a cause I can get behind.

But, in order to create the ultimate steak experience, one must first educate oneself on all matters beefy.

Here, the Shortlist provides us a guide so that we can get a leg up on the competition. From knowing your cuts of beef to pairing the perfect wine, this guide has it all.

An educated competitor is one to be reckoned with. So read up, my friends – then get out there and win the battle of the beef!

I love what she has to say but I must add one more tip of my own.

Trust your steak vendor first. If you know you continually get quality steaks from somewhere – go back to them!

THEN, follow the tips in this video!

Have a fantastically steaky weekend!
