  • Volk puts two grades of the same cut of steak head to head to find out if it's worth forking out a little more when shopping for your meat.

    I've been fortunate enough to have family members who are 'top chefs' (Michelin star etc) and we all agree, one of the top 3 places for steak we've ever eaten, was at a certain local pub. A friend worked at the butcher that supplied the chef and they told us that he always bought the cheapest (or one of) meats, but he used to cook it so fantastic, it felt like a steak worth 5-10X as much.

    Your fight with Brian Ortega was the first MMA fight I watched and ever since then I've always been a big fan of yours! Due to me being Spanish I'm also a fan of Ilia, but just wanted to say that in Spain (and all across the world really) everyone respects you, one of the greatest champions of all time!

    A baked potato out of aluminum foil I've heard of but a grilled steak out of aluminum foil that's a new one I've got to try that. The number 1 rule when i cook a steak is i always make sure to marinade it overnight my go to marinade sauce is teriyaki i find it adds more flavor along with makes it more tender.
