What (in your opinion) is the best cut of steak?

[monkeyboy]

Going to grill some steaks tomorrow and since it will be a special dinner what is everyone's favorite cut?

(Toss in what you season it with as well)

 

[IWantMickey]

Filet mignon with just some salt and pepper (and a nice cold !)

Yummmm!

Where I live, it's called delmonico. I believe it's actually a boneless ribeye. They are really well marbled and come out so tender when grilled.

I season mine with a little Montreal seasoning.

Thanks, now I'm hungry for steak!

The last couple of years, our favorite to make at home is a flat iron steak. I marinate it overnight in a combination of A1 marinade, worcestershire sauce and beer, then sprinkle Canadian steak seasoning on it during grilling or broiling. Yummy!

When I go out, I love, love, love prime rib!

For me, it's a good Rib-eye - hands down.

Ribeye hands down at home just a little salt cant ruin the taste by adding anything else

if I am at a really nice restaurant, than its a Filet Mignon

Ribeye is the best, but too fatty. I think flank steak is leaner and has a great taste too. I marinate it in Mojo Criollo and grill it. Slice it against the grain.

For grilling, Rib Eye without question. I use McCormack's Steakhouse seasoning. It is in the spice aisle and it is in one of their grinders. It is by far the best thing on beef-even my butcher uses it.

Obviously the filet mignon.

Now for what we normally buy and grill it is sirloin for us. We had a long talk with the butcher over the reason.

We like our steaks rare to med rare and that requires a steak with hardly no fat, hence our first love for the filet mignon.

My parents love the strip steaks, ribeyes, or any other fattier steaks because they like them more medium than we do. You need more fat to cook a steak medium to well done.

OH and NO SEASONINGS ever here in this house. Heck we just had grilled salmon and veggies nekkid. Maybe some salt sometimes.

Ribeye .. just a little salt and cracked black pepper. YUM!

 

[JerseyJanice]

I'm partial to Porterhouse.

 

[AKL_Megs]

I honestly don't understand the hype with Filet Mingon... it's not all that wonderful to me.

I prefer Top Sirloin.

 

[Aimeedyan]

Filet. I usually won't touch a steak unless it's a filet.

A good steak needs nothing more than salt and pepper =)

 

[LJC1861]

For us, it is either ribeye or Flat Iron. I generally season with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder. Also, bring the meat to room temperature before grilling. It helps the steak cook more evenly.

T-bone/porterhouse. The bone gives the steak more flavour, and provides something to grip with your tongs to turn the steaks on the grill. I marinate steak in a mix of oil, red wine/balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, crushed garlic, dijon mustard, crumbled rosemary, and a little salt and pepper. Steaks as tender as t-bone or porterhouse don't require a lengthy marinade, only 1-4 hours. Yum!

 

[Golf4food]

In order of healthiest/least fat: filet, then NY strip, with ribeye being the worst/most fatty.

We do filet if we can get a deal or are out for a nice dinner, strip if we can't get a deal and are grilling at home.

Mostly just seasoned with a little salt, pepper, maybe brushed with olive oil.

 

[sunnyday123]

Filet, filet, and filet. In that order.

 

[scanmom]

Ribeye!! And I like to use a Hawaiian marinade, from a bottle. I open a can of sliced pineapples and mix the juce with the marinade, then grill the pineapple slices on the steaks!!! mmmmmmmmmm.... I love meat!

Okay, I'm officially inviting everyone to laugh at what a dork I am. DF and I have been buying what's labeled "tenderloin steak" from Sam's because it's sooo yummy, even if it's a bit pricey. Anyway, I'm reading through this thread wondering why no one is saying they like tenderloin steak. So I turned to Google and found out that the common name for a tenderloin cut of steak = filet mignon. I had no clue that's what we've been eating.

Anyway, so now that I feel like a little dumb.. I'll say filet mignon/tenderloin is my favorite. We marinade in this stuff for a few hours, and it's delicious:

While Ribeye is my favorite for flavor, we generally grill New Yorks. I am not a fan of filet; not enough flavor.
