Initially it was our concern over mad cow disease (and love of beef) that started my wife and I ordering steaks and other beef from a few selected places on the internet. However, we found that the quality was so much better we would had done it for that alone had we known. We order from several places. One is Niman ranch. I believe we have also ordered from the wagu place mentioned above in Austin. One thing we have noticed is that in general, we really prefer grass fed beef to grain fed and find the standard grain fed midwestern beef to really not be as good as either Niman or several grass fed places. We get grass fed from a couple places in the US (one nearby in VT or CT, forgot which) as well as Australia. Ive read that the Aussie beef is as close as you can get to Argentine beef in the US (until they lift the import ban). I find the Aussie beef much more flavorful than corn fed beef. The Niman "cowboy steaks" are a real favorite on the grill as well. All said and done though, I just havent found any that top the steak for two at Peter Lugar.
