Most is grain fed. It fattens them up quicker. Grass fed costs more. Any chef will tell you fat makes flavour. Add ghee or duck fat and there's your flavour. Steak by itself doesnt have much flavour. 

 

Are you an Aussie?

You're contradicting a fellow Aussie?

I'll let you guys duke it out. I don't know what's going on down under.

Its 50/50 or 60/40. Grain fed is faster to the market.

Yah, I've been hearing the black charred crust on toast and beef causes cancer.

 

I don't really take that stuff seriously.

I bet you or your grandmother beat my granddad, who was 113 when he passed away, drank like a fish and smoked like a chimeney

Australia exports $3.3 billion worth of beef to the USA every year, because there is a shortfall of domestic beef supply there.

Institutional ground beef for prisons, hospitals etc  Never ever have I seen Aussie beef in  a market.

Fat marbled steaks might taste better. IMO they are also less healthy eating.

Spoken like a man who either never had, nor can he afford, a great piece of beef.

 

ProTip: If any food is "unhealthy", eat less. If folks can live on Cassava, well marbled Wagyu once a month wont kill you.

Grain-fed US beef has fat marbling. Grass fed, lean Australian beef has much less fat.

You have never seen US ground beef and have no idea of what the fat percentage is, nor how its fed. I daresay that the US has far more grass fed beef than you Aussies do.

2 of the biggest life disappointments. Orddring a steak in a high end Sydney steakhouse - tough as leather and zero taste  - just ate the fries snd hit HungryJacks( i can see why Jack is hungry!) to fill up after, and ordering a "schooner" of beer in a Townsville pub which far from the grand sounding name was basically a shot glass filled with revolting lager.

That and being covered with flies all day long and women as delicate and refined as honey badgers. I was on that Ansett flight back to Asia as soon as possible.

Crocodile Dundee was a fun movie, kudos where due.

You are American, your taste buds are accustomed to high fat marbling.

 

A Sydney steak comes from outback NSW, where carrying capacity is one steer to between 10-50 acres. It's a semi-arid region.

 

OTOH, Gippsland carrying capacity east of Melbourne is one steer per 1-2 acres. It's lush dairy country. You can cut an eye  filet steak from there with a fork.

 

We do have quite a large Middle Eastern cohort in Sydney, the women all seem to sport mustaches.

 

Noted you decline explaining how tariffs which increase costs to American consumers is winning.

About 95% of herbicides, pesticides and pharmaceuticals have one or more chlorine atoms in their composition. Known as organo-chlorines. DDT and Agent Orange are organo-chlorines.

 

Such compounds are lyophilic, i.e they are fat-soluble and bio-accumulate in fat. They are also known or suspected carcinogens.

I think this often links into what people have tasted when they were young.  I have seldom had nongrass-fed beef, except when I was in New Mexico, and I find it bland. Most of my experience is of Scottish beef, usually Aberdeen angus.  That is very good.

But a lot depends on the cooking, this can enhance or destroy the meal.  So I doubt my US experience was at the top of what you can get at the high-end of US cuisine.

Translation: Of course you find our beef tough and flavourless, you are used to the pinnacle of taste and quality by being from the US. I am jealous of that and thus will spend hours of time trying to convince the world that Australian beef is better.

A steak in an Aussie pub costs $30 and tastes like a shoe boot. Buy an $8 steal from shop and cook it in duck fat it will taste twice as good.

I see plenty of Aussie beef in Makro, Rimping and Tops here, mostly at a premium.

 

I eat Gippsland grass-fed eye filet in Australia. Above $100 per kilo. Twice a week.  Your comment is the usual dumbass sh!t I am used to from you.

 

Wrong again. 80% of American beef comes from feedlot cattle. Most exported beef from Australia is grass-fed.

There is no Aussie beef in US meat markets except for the packaged ground beef that they mismark to disguise the fact that its jail or taco restaurant beef.

Actually, with U.S. beef prices so high already, I think President Trump should prohibit its export:

Beef prices at all-time high: Why summer grilling costs a lot more this year

Supply constraints and high demand have driven up beef prices. Experts warn that it could take years to rein prices back in.

The ginger clown has one point. 40% of Australan beef is treated with growth hormones. Let this be a warning for the farangs boasting Pattaya's renowned restaurants boas serving imported beef mainly from Australia.

Compared to 80-90% of US beef.

I had a friend who thought he would live into his nineties. His parents, aunts and uncles all did. He died of a melanoma at age 72.

 

I guess they don't teach lawyers about normally distributed data, and statistical outliers.

I have eaten beef in both countries.

 

Give me Australian beef any day - far superior taste and consistency.

 

And besides, Australian beef is not full of the unpleasant chemicals found in most US beef.

I just wonder how this helps US consumers. Meat prices are already stratospheric. Taking more supply away to Australia just means higher demand and prices in the US. You really have to wonder who Trump is working for. Or maybe not.

Trumps likes to brag about how he is boosting the U.S.economy when in fact he has no clue how the markets work.  Most of what he does, or claims to do, hurts small businesses, many big businesses and the American consumer.

[phetphet]

Profit driven US farmers inject hormones into their cattle to speed up growth. Many people don't want to eat it because of that.  Getting Australia to import it, doesn't mean the Aussie on the street will actually buy it, notwithstanding the bad feeling generated by Trump's coercive tariff tactics.

 

There must be many US farmers that don't dose their beef with such hormones, and maybe Australia has done a deal for only that class of meat.

 

Here in Thailand, I normally buy both Aussie or New Zealand beef. Both pretty good.

Namibia's beef is also high quality - among the Herero people - beef is like religion.  Had one of the best beefburgers I have ever had there in Windhoek.

Beef doesnt have much flavour.

 

Lamb has a stronger, gamier, and earthier taste compared to beef, which is typically milder and more straightforward.

Fat Content: Lamb has a higher fat content, which contributes to its juiciness and flavor, while beef's flavor can vary depending on the cut and fat content.
