"Hi, this is Christi Ferretti with Expert Village. Here to give you some helpful tips about selecting meat in a grocery store. And what I have here is a boneless ribeye steak. And when you are looking for a steak, what you want to look for is not the bright red no fat that mom always sent you to the store for. What gives meat a flavor and what gives meat a good texture is going to be a little bit of fat. And particularly a ribeye is going to have a little more than normal. But then also the marbling that's inside, now mine is condensating a little bit so you might not be able to see it. But there is a little marbling throughout. Now that's not fat that you are going to taste as in terms of feeling in your mouth. But what it?s going to do is it?s going to give moisture to your meat. So any time you are looking at buying red meat that is what you are looking for. You also want to make sure that the meat is being stored properly. That the thermometer on the temperature, the temperature on the thermometer is below forty-one degrees so it?s kept cold. And if you are me, you want to look for steaks that look like this. Now bear with me for a second. Because you don't want anything that's green or funny looking. But anytime a meat starts to age, it oxidizes. So the bloods in the meat will start to turn from a red to a brown color. That's just age. To a certain degree, this is actually going to be a more flavorful, more tender steak. And typically discounted in the grocery stores. So shop smart. Look for marbling and shop in the end section and save your self a few bucks."
