I've been involved with producing, promoting, and marketing beef here and exporting it for many years and I'm sure this may sound biased.
However, I can assure you that there is nothing better than U.S.Choice beef, preferably Angus or Certified Angus. I realize the price in
St. Maarten is two and half times more than in the mid-west, but that's what it takes to make it available.
Someone mention the New Zealand meat, which may be alright for slow cooking, but we prefer grilling to get the best flavor.
The U.S.importers use a lot of the New Zealand product to blend into the hamburger, you can guess why.
