Americans do have an obsession with the perfect steak, which I haven't really found anywhere else (for context, I travel a lot due to my job, I live in the US, and I'm not from the US). I'm not sure where that originates, because Brazil and Argentina, both very beef-heavy nations, are far more lax with perfection via the perfect steak (interestingly, this leads to both of them eating far more steak than the US, as anything and any method becomes fair game), and nations without nearly as much beef as the US tend to make use of the entirety of the cow, including the not-so-nice parts. It's only in the US where I've found that the steak is king.
