26 Feb How to Choose the Best Steak Online

Ordering steak online has become incredibly popular — and for good reason. You can get premium cuts delivered straight to your door.

But not all steaks (or meats) are created equal.

Here’s how to choose the best steak online — and how to take it to the next level with chorizo pairings.

Step 1: Look at the Cut

Different cuts serve different purposes:

• Ribeye → Rich and marbled
• New York Strip → Balanced and beefy
• Center cut tenderloin steaks → Lean and tender
• Porterhouse steaks → Bold and perfect for tacos

Choose based on how you plan to cook it.

Step 2: Check for Marbling

Marbling = flavor.

Thin white streaks of fat running through the meat melt during cooking, creating tenderness and juiciness. The more marbling (within reason), the better the flavor.

Step 3: Source Matters

Look for:

• Responsibly raised beef
• No unnecessary additives
• Proper packaging for freshness

Quality sourcing makes a noticeable difference in taste.

Now — Let’s Talk Pairings

• Ribeye + Chorizo Butter – Mix cooked chorizo into softened butter and melt it over a hot ribeye. The spice and richness together?
• Porterhouse Steak + Chorizo Tacos – Add crumbled chorizo to sliced skirt steak for next-level tacos. The beefiness and spice balance perfectly.
• Center-cut Tenderloin Steaks + Chorizo-Stuffed Mushrooms – Serve your steak with mushrooms stuffed with cooked Mexican chorizo for a bold contrast.
• New York Strip Steak & Chorizo Breakfast Hash – Leftover steak + crispy potatoes + fresh chorizo = elite breakfast.

Why Chorizo Elevates Steak

Steak brings richness.
Chorizo brings spice and depth.

Together, they create contrast — and contrast creates memorable meals.

But here’s the key: the chorizo has to be good.

Premium, well-seasoned Mexican chorizo enhances steak instead of overpowering it. It adds complexity without masking the beef’s natural flavor.

If you’re already investing in high-quality steak, don’t cut corners on what you pair with it.
