Award-winning journalist and food writer Mark Schatzker embarks on a global odyssey across four continents and eight countries to examine beef myths, modern agricultural practices, and the elusive elements that create the perfect cut of meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassionate about steak, Mark Schatzker sets off on a quest for perfection in the art of rearing and cooking beef. His journey takes him thousands of miles as he consumes more than 100 lbs of steak to understand what truly makes meat exceptional. He gasps for air on Texas feedlots, dodges the descendants of prehistoric aurochs in France, encounters grass-fed glory in Scotland, debunks the myth of beer-massaged cows in Kobe, and admires Argentinian grilling savvy. Along the way, Schatzker questions whether modern practices of commercial breeding and production sacrifice quality for quantity, ultimately leading him to raise his own cattle to test his theories. It is an impassioned, humorous, and remarkably enlightening study of steak that will resonate with avid meat-eaters and culinary enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010226573651,"sku":"4353","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/9781902932538.jpg?v=1781608987","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/steak-one-mans-search-for-the-worlds-tastiest-piece-of-beef-mark-schatzker","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
