Even if you eat steak on the regular, you probably don’t know everything there is to know about it. It’s one of those foods that seems pretty simple, but if you want to get it right, it takes some serious knowledge. There’s a good chance that you believe some of the most common myths about steak out there. With so many of these myths floating around, it’s no doubt that you’ve run into at least some of them from time to time. Luckily, when you visit a steakhouse like Rib ‘N Reef, you’ll be working with a knowledgeable waitstaff that can give you all the information you need. Before you do, though, you should check out these common steak myths.

 

Bloody Steak

 

Have you ever heard someone refer to a steak as “bloody”? We all have, from time to time. When you cut into a juicy steak, you’ll likely notice some red liquid bleeding from it. To a lot of people, this liquid looks like blood. That’s not really the case, though. It’s actually known as myoglobin, and it helps deliver oxygen to the animal’s blood. That may not sound great, but rest assured, it’s definitely not going to hurt you. Even if you always order your steak rare, you shouldn’t have to worry about ingesting any blood, whether you’re cooking at home or eating out at Rib ‘N Reef.

 

Only Eat Fillet

 

While fillet is a delicious cut of meat, it’s not your only option out there. It’s always a good idea to expand your horizons and try something new from time to time. This is especially true when it comes to a good piece of meat. Therefore, the next time you order from a restaurant like Rib ‘N Reef, take a close look at all the options on the menu. If you always order the fillet, you may want to switch it up and try something different for a change.

 

Never Use Sauce

 

Back in the day, people loved steak sauce. In fact, it was a staple in most people’s homes. These days, though, steak sauce has gotten less popular. This has led people to believe that they should never put any kind of sauce on their steak no matter what. But if you abide by this rule, there’s a good chance you’re going to be missing out. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different kinds of sauces, going beyond your traditional steak sauce. Something like a chimichurri can be even more delicious.
