If you’re a home cook or a foodie who wonders what should be the perfect steak cut to grill, then you’re on the right track! We’re here to help you make that date night or family celebration a memorable one *wink*
Spill the tea, what’s the perfect steak cut for grilling?
Before we get to the specifics, it’s best to be observant when looking at steaks. A good and quality steak should be firm to the touch, has a bright red color, and doesn’t have any gray or brown spots. Its internal marbling should also be visible to ensure that you’ll get the juiciness you wanted. Lastly, a quality steak will stand out even with the simplest seasoning.
As for the definite steak cut that you should get, here’s our curated list that will help you find the right steak for you:
RIBEYE
You can never go wrong with the popular ribeye steak, and there’s a reason why this cut is well-loved by many. A steak cut with high marbling and rich flavor, the ribeye is absolutely tender and great for grilling. Our USDA Prime Boneless Ribeye offers tenderness and marbling that will surely impress your loved ones.
NEW YORK STRIP
If you want to keep this simple and straightforward, then the New York Strip is for you. Known for its tenderness and strong beefy flavor, the New York Strip is a rectangular-shaped steak with a good marbling without large pockets of fat.
FILET MIGNON
For your intimate date night or anniversary, getting a filet mignon would be the best choice. A cut from the tip of the Tenderloin, the Filet Mignon is prized for its soft and tender texture that melts in your mouth.
T-BONE
When you’re a foodie looking for a steak cut that’s worth every penny, you should definitely try the T-Bone. This steak cut will give you the best of both worlds as it’s actually a strip steak on one side and a tenderloin filet on the other, divided by a T-shaped bone. Savor the tenderness of the filet and the flavorful strip steak in one seating!
BONUS: TOMAHAWK
Suitable for family gatherings and big celebrations, the Tomahawk steak is undoubtedly the main course everyone will love and enjoy. Similar to the tomahawk axe where its name is derived from, the French trimmed bone is packed with collagen that melts into the thick meat when cooked, resulting in a juicier and more tender steak that will leave you wanting for more.
Now that you know which steak cut is the best for you, nothing should stop you from going on a flavor adventure and tasting the steak of a lifetime ;)
