BBQ - STEAK AND CHOOSING YOUR CUTS


Filet Mignon; this choice is usually a more costly choice but is well worth the additional expense if you are looking for the most tender and moist cut of meat. You will not find the intense flavor of a rib-eye or porterhouse but this is still an excellent cut of meat.


Rib-eye; this cut is a top choice because it has abundant marbling (fat). As the rib-eye cooks this marbling melts into the meat and creates a juicy, rich tasting cut of meat.

Porterhouse; this cut also has plentiful marbling. The porterhouse has a top loin that is moist and flavorful and a smooth buttery soft tenderloin. This cut is a popular choice in restaurants. This is my favorite!

New York Strip; this is a t-bone with the tenderloin and bone cut away. This is a good quality cut of meat and can usually be found at a lower price per pound than the preceding cuts.

T-boneThe t-bone is built for grilling. The generous amounts of fat keep it moist while its tenderloin heart stays tender and flavorful.  This is the favorite of the outdoor chef. Season lightly and grill. 


Top Sirloin; this cut is a lesser grade but larger cut of meat. Try to buy the top or prime grade, they will be tenderer than the lower grades.

Don't forget to try marinades and different seasonings
