If your local grocery store lacks the kind of steaks you're looking for, look toward mail order for your favorites. Companies like Hickory Farms, Steak of the Month Club, and Omaha Steaks will be happy to send you frozen steaks by express mail for a decent price.

One good thing about steak meals is that how you eat them, and what you eat them with, is varied. A well-grilled steak might be just fine without anything on it; on the other hand, various tenderizers and seasonings exist to take your steak-eating experience to a new plateau.

Some steak purists insist that a steak should be eaten plain, with nothing extra on it, but if it's your steak meal, you've got a right to experiment with toppings. Butter and Worchestershire sauce are always good options, and there are dozens of specialized steak sauces to choose from.
