Quality of the beef eating experience is tied to each individuals preference so it is kinda hard to know what works for people you have never met. Like I said select cuts if raised, handled and processed right can give a good eating experience. We used to raise beef for Lauras Lean which was a good product. We are doing some experimenting with DNA markers in cattle that identify tenderness likelihoods to try and produce a product that is lean with the tenderness that people expect. But the bottom line is you get the natural flavor that is the signature of beef from marbling. It is also what helps separate the connective tissues to help with tenderness. Aging also impacts flavor and tenderness significantly. Some claim not so much flavor as aging primarily helps break down the connective tissues in the cut. Dry aging however in my opinion does indeed impact flavor. Controlled environments that allow for extended dry aging result in some unbeleivable steaks. East 40 in Bismarck is dry aging 45 days. Better get there early or they are usually gone. Humidity and temp control are critical to do this right. Have tried some in our own walkin cooler with varied results. Never bad, just some are way better than others. Have a friend that dry ages whole loins in their plastic bags in his vaccine cooler for 45 days...one of the best prime ribs I have ever eatenBeef fed vitamin E in the final 45 days on feed will give you a product that will keep its red coloring longer which also attributes to more days aging which results usually in a more tender cut.
