MrPorter.com is a fantastic website featuring men’s uber-luxury items (for you ladies see Net-A-Porter.com). This is certainly not a discount site, the items are fabulous and full price. It also offers some wonderful articles on style, fashion, food and drink. The perspective is decidedly British and the writing is Monty Python meets James Bond. Follow the link for an entertaining little tidbit on beef philosophy and a tutorial on how to properly cook a steak. I use this method myself but use a cast iron skillet and finish the steak with black truffle butter.

After viewing the four slides on cooking a steak follow the link on the first page to the Hawksmoor site. The Hawksmoor is a high-end steakhouse in London. Check out the site and then immediately book first class reservations on BA and a suite at the Connaught, then click on the cow on the left side of the site for a nice tutorial on cuts of steak and proper preparation.
