American Kobe

The brand names in your grocery store meat case, like Certified Angus, Nolan Ryan Tender Beef and Sterling Silver, are just the beginning. The American cattle industry has entered an era of niche marketing. Cattlemen one day will choose to produce lean beef, marbled beef, American Kobe and every other taste under the sun. And American steak houses will offer menus to match.

As for finding the steak of your dreams at Lynn's Steakhouse, I'd recommend that you skip the skinny T-bone and order the filet only if you like your meat extremely tender. Now that I know my way around their meat locker, I am going to try the thick-cut, dry-aged USDA Prime New York strip next time. I'm guessing it will come much closer to the ideal combination of marbling, aging and texture. Maybe next time I'll find that perfect balance between flavor and tenderness.

Lynn's Steakhouse is so proud of their meat, they show it to you in the raw before you order.
