My preferred cut of beef is either Brisket or Oxtail. If I have to have a Steak I'd go for Rib Eye from the Chuck end.

In YOUR OPINION what is the best cut? Fillets my preference The best chefs in the world will tell you that sirloin and ribeye are far tastier fillet, so its not really my opinion. All your getting with fillet is a much higher guarantee of tenderness even if you have a mediocre butcher. Get a good butcher and sirloin and ribeye will be far tastier, nearly as tender and cheaper than fillet..............

Title: Re: Wagyu steaks in the uk Post by: kinboshi on November 09, 2010, 03:21:16 PM 18.526%
Title: Re: Wagyu steaks in the uk Post by: Longy on November 09, 2010, 03:21:39 PM Average tip in the US is about 18%.
Waitresses/barstaff etc rely a lot more on tips than in the UK as they are paid poorly, but tipping is so much part of US culture that virtually everyone tips. Edit: Sigh at Kin and Cos. Title: Re: Wagyu steaks in the uk Post by: StuartHopkin on November 09, 2010, 03:25:07 PM Triple nits
So much easier just to make it 20ish Title: Re: Wagyu steaks in the uk Post by: GreekStein on November 09, 2010, 03:27:02 PM I'm pretty sure MPower is levelling us.
