Rib Eye: You can buy rib eye on or off the bone, I think on the bone is more flavorful. Porter House: Same as the t-bone, only the tenderloin is larger. It’s usually a very thick cut with excellent marbling and flavor. T-Bone: 2 steaks in one! You get a strip steak on one side of the bone and a tenderloin on the other. But I eat a lot of meat, does that count?)

As opposed to a professional meat person. Don’t be afraid of the fat! Here’s a run-down on some popular grilling steaks (According to me. Notice both cuts of steak have good marbling. They’re not bad, they’re just not as great as a non-end cut. So if you’re looking at steaks, avoid those end cuts.

See the steak in the middle? How it’s got that line of what appears to be marbling right up the center? Well it’s not marbling, it’s gristle, and it comes along with the “end cuts” on strip steaks. If I had to go for just one, I’d pick a rib eye every time.Ī quick note on the strip steak- my butcher taught me this. My personal favorites for grilling are Rib Eye and NY Strip, so I’ll show those in my photos. I could write a whole post on different cuts of steak, so just for today we’ll focus on the most traditional backyard bbq steaks. Pay attention to thickness as well, for best results buy steaks that are at least one inch thick and preferably more like 1 1/2. There are some cheaper cuts of steak that can be great too, but in general, you won’t have much luck hitting the bargain basement. You’ll need to be willing to spend a bit more for a premium cut and it will be well worth it when you take that first juicy bite. Most (certainly not all) really good steaks are on the expensive side, so let’s just get that out of the way. There’s only so much you can do for a steak that’s not that great to begin with. So follow our steps to grill a steak that doesn’t suck, okay? You can also totally ruin a perfectly good restaurant quality steak at home.

I want to show you all that you really can cook an awesome restaurant quality steak at home. And you better believe we chow down every last bite too. If there’s a beef filet on the menu, Kate and I both order it about 98 percent of the time. I’ve actually noticed at a lot of the business related events we attend where fancy dinners are involved, the women in attendance almost always order fish, or grilled chicken, or a stinking side salad, and then leave 3/4 of it on their plates when they’re finished. It’s no secret that Kate and I like our meat. Go browse our dessert section today while the rest of us stay here and look at slabs of beef. I almost named this post, “How to cook a steak that doesn’t suck.” Vegetarians beware this one is not for you (just in case you haven’t noticed yet).
