High-end steakhouses apply a 3.5x to 5x markup on their cuts to cover overhead, staffing, and ambiance. Calculate the exact premium you pay for dining out versus sourcing Ranch-Direct cuts.

Master Rule: A premium cut at a restaurant costs four times what it costs from the source. Master the reverse sear and keep the difference.
