Steak by Mark Schatzker
One Man's Search for the World's Tastiest Piece of Beef
A journalist embarks on a global investigation into why steak tastes the way it does, blending history, travelogue and science as he interviews farmers, chefs, geneticists and meat scientists; he traces how breed, diet, handling, aging and cooking transform muscle into flavor, questions the received wisdom that marbling alone determines quality, and explains the biochemical and cultural forces behind our preferences while arguing that farming and consumer choices shape the future of beef.
