Best Steak to Grill?

[Jack_Dawson]

To me it's Ribeye hands-down, because the marbling melts into the steak, or drips onto the charcoal to create smoky goodness.

1. Damn!

I should've had leftover steak for breakfast this morning.

Damn damn damn!

I agree with you... ribeye is the best. :9

4. I like 'em all

Really, it's not so much the steak as the preparation. Even an eye of round can be mouth-watering if you cook it right. However, if I had to choose one, it would be rib-eye. Best way is to buy the whole piece at Costco, then cut it to your desired thickness, the best being the size of a small roast. :9

One time, I had taken a big ol' sirloin out for dinner, and liberally laced it with tenderizer. So I cheat, sue me. Anyway, I was getting ready to fire up the grill when for some reason we changed plans suddenly and went somewhere for din-din. I pulled that same steak out of the fridge and cooked it, and that was the tenderest steak I've ever had. That's the way I do sirloin now.

6. How long was it in the fridge?

Tenderizer...haven't tried that. Maybe I should.

8. BTW, Round Steak SUX!!!

I mistook that for filet mignon once and paid the price.

5. If you know what you're doing

with your grill, and are deft at the art of grilling food properly, then ya can't beat a nice grilled fillet. Its just very tricky to do properly.

7. You mean leave the lid on?

Filets don't do it for me, although I know they can be great but you're right it has to be done perfectly. If you have any secrets please share with the rest of the class.

[No2W2004]

19. well, no secrets really,

just that you MUST have even heat, (a quality Weber gas grill serves nicely) and you have to hover over the filet like a mother hen. Patience is the key...with practice you'll learn exactly when to turn 'em and when to pull it off the grill.

Just keep practicing....steak is good no matter what happens (unless you burn it to a crisp), but it's an art form to know how to grill it just right!

9. Its the BONE IN strip, for the same reason

The Marrow in the bone provides the flavor with the marbling.

10. Prime Delmonicos....mmmmmmm

:)

11. Now this can't be answered just like this...

What kind of grill? Smoked or Flash grilled? What quality of meat?

Filet Mingon is best flash grilled, but Ribeye always smokes well...

And are we talking Choice? Prime? Angus? Chuck?

[redqueen]

12. hmmmmm

Smoked ribeye?

What do you mean 'what kind of grill'?

[Taverner]

14. Gas or Charcoal (or pit)

And yes, smoked ribeye...over a 1-2 hour period....yum!

[redqueen]

15. Gas?

Why bother? Just put a grill thingy on your stove... you'll get the same results.

[Taverner]

16. But then you can't use a smokebox...

And propane and propane accessories are the way of the future!

[redqueen]

17. Well yes, there's that.

I guess a gas smoker makes sense. But for grilling I must always use charcoal.

Do you really use a pit? I've never done that.

[Taverner]

18. Used one once

It's fun

13. I personally like well-tenderized flank steak on the grill

I use one of those tenderizer machines that pokes little holes in the meat and marinate it in something acidic. It can be great if done properly, but I think that goes for all things meat. It's all a matter of proper preparation and cooking.
