re: Anybody completely cut their steak up before taking the first bite?

Here's a steak from what's knows as the best steakhouse in the world (especially amongst Michelin rated chefs), Peter Luger's.



They cut it for you. No clue why, though it has me very curious. And they know plenty about steak.


Personally, I only cut everything up when it's something like tri tip, London broil, skirt steak, or flank. But that's how your supposed to do it with those cuts, cut it thin against the grain. The key is to let it cool enough to where the juices absorb back into the fibers.
