When I was 12 or so my family bought a freezer full of meat. I mean one of those "extra" freezers you keep in your garage to hold your 100 lbs of pre-portioned and sealed steaks.

As you might expect I was eating meat so far beyond feezer-burn that the marbled purple bricks had neither the texture or the taste of anything presumed organic.

I had to get creative with preperation. By the time I was 14, I had had enough and found a till-now secret method for improving the taste of steak. Since then I have always used this technique, even on the most expesive cuts and the improvment is obvious, drastic and appriciated by those you are cooking for.

The secret is this:

Marinate your steaks in beef bouillon.

I know it sounds redundant but it will make 2 year old freezer packed steak taste edible and a fresh $10 ribeye taste like a fresher $30 ribeye.
