Libels has stunning meat. Best pork chop I have had. You do get what you pay for for the most part.

No one has yet mentioned the Butcher's Shop in Sandton, Johannesburg. Any steak you get there is absolutely wonderful. I always go for the 800g T-bone with 3 giant shrimp on top.

I too, don't like Wagyu or Kobe as I find it too fatty. I'd rather have a sirloin. However, any good steak will depend on:

1. The quality of the raw ingredient.
2. The appropriate ageing process for that piece of meat.
3. The seasoning/marinade (a completely unseasoned steak of any kind usually tastes vile).
4. The skill of the chef preparing it.

Get those four magic factors right and a steak anywhere in the world will taste superb.

Exactly my thoughts.

Here in Singapore I have a Japanese supermarket nearby that sells both beautiful, cherry-red Australian beef without even a speck of fat... and this 80% fatty-white excuse for beef that is priced 15x over.

Personally I wouldn't take the latter if they were giving it out for free. Yuck.
