As an African with access to reasonable traditional cattle farming, I can say that American beef tastes like crap. Looks amazing, but tastes like crap.
- It depends on where it comes from in the US. You're spot on when it comes to basically anything sold in a grocery store. But we have some great cattle that produces great beef. You have to go to high end butchers for it though. Or buy it directly from the ranchers and butcher it yourself.
  
  Can the butcher assure you that the animal hasn't been given an amount of chemicals that would be banned in the EU?
  
  Narrator: "No"
  
  Not really. It's weird. You kinda have to be familiar with the ranch that raises the beef, and the ones that don't use a ton of chemicals also don't advertise to the public. It's basically only available to small town folks who are "in the know" and boutique restaurants. This has been my experience, anyway. One of my exes comes from a cattle rancher family, so my sample size is tiny. Other people may have other experiences.
- The best steak I ever had. I watched iit graze in pasture a couple hours before eating it.
  
  Really that was the best. You know you should hang meat for a couple days. Cows usually for a week some want 21 days. If you thought a freshly killed cow steak was great this well blow your mind.
  
  You can cook before rigor mortis begins and it is akin to hung but not aged meat.
