Chef warns shoppers to avoid 'red supermarket steak' and shares signs of good quality

When planning meals for the week, if you're feeling a little luxurious you might treat yourself to a steak for dinner one night. But according to a top chef, you'll want to be careful when picking your piece of meat in the supermarket.

That's because the colour of the steak itself is "very important", according to Mike Reid, a judge on Channel 4's Five Star Kitchen and the culinary director of Gaucho Restaurants - a chain of Argentinian eateries that are known for their great steak.

The expert recommends heading to a butcher to buy your meat if you can, but if you prefer to get it from a supermarket for ease, then he recommends looking closely at what it is that you're buying or you could be wasting your money on low-quality meat.
