IMHO the best cuts for the grill are filet, strip, and rib eye. Any cut should be marbled with fat, that keeps them tender and juicy.

Our fave marinade is the Lawrys packet. Just add water. Great taste. Whatever marinade you use be sure to use a fork to poke holes in both sides of the meat to let the marinade soak in properly.

We love to cook fresh mushrooms, zuchini, red peppers and onions on the grill for a side dish. Just brush lightly with olive oil and cook over med high heat for 4-5 min each side. We also usually do baked potatos (in the microwave) with steaks.

A great on the grill dessert are carmalized peaches. We cut them in half fill the center with melted butter, brown sugar and wrap them in foil and cook about 10 minutes over medium heat.

Happy Grilling!

Thank you dsny1mom! Your recipes sound great (especially the peaches) Thanks again for the advice, we don't normally do steaks so the cut advice is priceless!

We think the best way to do a steak is in an iron skillet on top of the stove and sear it then into the oven in the same iron skillet at about 450º for just a few mins.
Talk about wonderful and tender and juicy!

I can buy ribeye from anywhere and they are great!

Good luck though! I was always a griller until we saw this on the Today show (maybe back at valentine's day) and we tried it. Haven't grilled a steak since.

i cook steak on the grill alot-usually for my sons-there is really no need to marinate ribeye or filet-they are generally pretty tender. what i do is get Montreal Steak seasoning-let the meat come to room temp about 2 hours before you are going to grill it and sprinkle the seasoning heavily on both sides-cover them and let them stand til you are ready to grill them-3 minutes a side on a HOT fire to sear them and then over medium heat til done the way you like it ( and while the PP posters marindade suggestion sounds great-i personally wouldnt NEVER poke a fork in meat gong on the grill-all the juice and all the flavor run into the fire) Turn them with tongs. YUM

On my steak, I put a dry rub instead of a marinade. Equal parts kosher salt, pepper, garlic, ground mustard & smoked paprika. I do equal parts on everything & sprinkle it on both sides of the steak. I agree with the PP, don't poke holes in the steak.
