The beef itself seems to have a slightly different consistency, with a different "crust" on it, and the taste is distinctly "beefier."<br> <br> Has anyone else exprienced this? And, any idea how I would replicate this difference once we get back to NYC? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.22458 Thu, 11 Aug 2005 04:54:52 -0800 beef cooking France honeymoon sear steak taste US bshort
