Steak Tips
According to Chef Mario, there are a few easy tips that everyone can use to help them cook a great steak. Firstly, use the highest- grade meat available. Fleming's uses USDA Prime, which is the highest class. Also, look for the marbling of the meat to be consistent. Before you begin cooking your steak, season it to your taste, so the meat can absorb the spices you've chosen. Be sure to serve the steak and sides on a warm plate, so they don't cool down before they hit the table. Then, sit back and enjoy the meal.Sauteed Spinach
