Generously illustrated with forty-three full-color photographs and chock-full of tips and secrets from professional steaklovers, The Steaklover's Companion is sure to be the authoritative guide to great steak. Cooks will agree with Mark Miller, who writes in the foreword, "A good steak is great, but a great steak is a thing of beauty."
