🧂 2. Expert Cooking Tips from Our Butcher's Block

  • Season Smart: Simplicity wins. Sea salt, pepper, and fresh herbs highlight the natural flavor of premium meat.

  • Rest Your Meat: Always let steaks rest for 5–10 minutes after cooking — it keeps them juicy.

  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Give your cuts space to sear, not steam.

  • Slice Against the Grain: For tenderness, always cut meat across the grain.
