One of the reasons the rib steak great for the grill is because they can cook over the intense flames of the grill and still remain juicy, thanks to their fat content that keeps them tender. You can usually choose a bone-in or boneless cut, with boneless being a little more expensive. Because ribeyes have such excellent fat content, you should take extra care when cooking them on the grill. Use a drip pan to catch the drippings, or keep your steak away from direct flames. Still, the grill tends to be one of the most popular methods for cooking a ribeye because the smoky flavor lends itself well to the juicy cut.
Because ribeyes have such incredible marbling, you should take extra care when cooking them on the grill. This cut of steak is one of the most popular, like a royal member of the steak family, if you will. The filet mignon is a small section taken from the area of the tenderloin that sits closest to the ribs, making it extremely tender. Most filet mignons are between two and three inches thick, which is perfect for the grill.
Filet mignon cooks beautifully in a pan, especially when wrapped in bacon. Bacon strips give it some extra, robust flavors as they cook along with the steak. Filet mignon is one of the thicker cuts of steak, so it needs a bit more time than other steaks to cook. For best taste and tenderness, sear each side for about four minutes in some butter, and then move the steak and its juices to the oven for about another five minutes at degrees.
Filet mignon is costly. Some people often criticize filet mignon for its lack of flavor compared to other steaks. Top sirloin comes from close to the rear of the animal, right underneath the tenderloin strip portion. On the grill, a rare to medium-rare cook produces the right balance of flavor and tenderness. Still, it provides amazing beef flavor without a lot of fat, making it one of the most perfectly balanced steaks when cooked to the right temperature.
Most people prefer to cook top sirloin on the grill because the grill flavor lends itself well to the steak flavor. You're unlikely to have to shell out as much cash as you would for a good ribeye or T-bone, for example, but you're going to get a much better steak than cheaper options such as the round or bottom sirloin. It's also versatile, being as suitable to a Stroganoff or a kebab as it is a steak. If you're cooking on a budget, this is probably one of the best options you could choose.
A T-bone steak is cut from the forward section of the short loin on a steer , and contains both a strip of top loin i. And what you've got here is a great combination of the texture and flavor of those two cuts, in one impressively-sized chunk of beef. The strip steak has got all the flavor, and the tenderloin has got that amazing, tender feel to it.
With the T-bone, you get to experience both at once. The last big positive of the T-bone, if you're the kind of person who gets a kick out of this and who isn't? And they always look so good. There are two downsides to T-bone steaks, though. The first is that they're usually crazy expensive, partly because they combine two prized cuts of beef, and partly because they seem to have become so popular in high-end restaurants.
The other is that they lack some of the versatility of tenderloin alone, which can be used in a number of different ways. They're not huge negatives, however, and if you're hankering for a good old fashioned hunk of steak — a real steak lover's steak, you know? Also known as butler's steak or boneless top chuck steak, flat iron steak is a relatively modern cut of beef as far as butchering techniques go. According to Kansas City Steaks , flat iron steak comes from the shoulder region or "top blade" section of a cow.
The meat is full of rich juicy marbling and is incredibly tender but for years had been considered unusable because of a very tough sinew that typically runs through that region of the animal. Omaha Steaks has reported that researchers at the University of Nebraska and the University of Florida actually set out on a scientific study to figure out how to best make use of the piece of meat, ultimately determining that if you sliced the meat off at either side of that tough sinew, you'd be left with an intensely flavorful and highly affordable cut that was ideal for grilling, broiling, or pan-frying.
And they were right! Many chefs consider the flavor and texture of flat iron steaks similar to more popular and pricy cuts like filet mignon. By definition, they're inherently smaller pieces of meat so you may not want flat iron for a Sunday feast.
But for an affordable, week-night dinner they're ideal whether you're eating them whole and fresh from the grill or cast-iron skillet or slicing thinly for a stir-fry or fajita. Because of the ample marbling, most experts recommend cooking flat iron steaks to medium-rare and seasoning liberally with coarse sea salt and fresh black pepper.
Okay, maybe you can do a little better. To all but the most discerning eye, the porterhouse steak is pretty much the exact same cut of steak as the T-bone steak. The main difference is that the porterhouse steak is a little thicker , and contains more of the tenderloin cut than you'll find in a T-bone steak. And the U. Government actually take this quite seriously: according to the Department of Agriculture , the tenderloin filet has to measure at least 1.
So why does the porterhouse steak come out ahead on this list, compared to the T-bone steak? Well, for just one reason: it's bigger. That may sound ridiculous, but this is steak we're talking about here. Bigger is better. Sorry, we don't make the rules. That's just how it works. There's a reason people call it the "King of T-bones," you know. Hanger steak isn't the most popular cut of beef out there. You certainly won't find it up on the fancy steakhouse menus with filet mignon, ribeye or porterhouse.
But the truth is that this type of steak is criminally underrated. The hanger steak is cut from the short plate , on the underside of the cow, and is a neighbor of sorts to the skirt steak. And since the filet side is more prone to overcooking, it can be a challenge getting the entirety of the steak to finish at the same time. When to Order: If you're an experienced steak expert or part of a couple who doesn't like to compromise no judgment , or if you're exceptionally hungry and prefer to spend your paycheck on steak versus rent.
How to Cook It: Grilling or broiling is your best bet. Just make sure the tenderloin side of the porterhouse is exposed to less heat, so it doesn't overcook before the strip is finished. Formerly the butcher's hidden gem, the once-humble hanger has exploded in popularity over the years.
It might not be as affordable as it used to be, but the cut, taken from the front of the cow's belly, is still a bargain considering it's astonishingly savory flavor and relative tenderness. When taken right off the cow, hangers tend to be covered in a blanket of tough sinew and silver skin, though most butchers will sell it already trimmed.
When to Order: If you're looking for maximum payoff with little effort; or a carnivore who prefers to spend only half their paycheck on steak. How to Cook It: A loose, soft texture makes hanger steak perfect for soaking up sticky marinades and dry rubs. Keep in mind there's a sweet spot when it comes to cooking this cut: Too rare, and it remains unpleasantly toothsome; too overdone , and it will dry out just like any other steak.
Long, hardworking muscle fibers make flank steak relatively tough to chew on when improperly prepared. After cooking to medium rare, be sure to slice the meat thinly against the grain. On the plus side, it's easy to get a large number of servings from this square cut, making it perfect fodder for a summer buffet. In my latest stories I asked you to choose between shrimps and Wagyu flank steak snakeriverfarms. But why choose when you can have both All these beauties will be grilled on my Konro, Japanese table grill.
The T-bone is cut with striploin on one side of a t-shaped bone, and eye fillet on the other side. With two very different textures and flavours — the tenderness of the fillet on one side, and the juiciness of the sirloin on the other side — the T-bone offers the best of both worlds.
Generally, the fillet will cook faster than the sirloin, because it has less fat, and on either side, the meat closer to the bone will be slower to cook than the rest of the steak.
A traditional pub favourite, rump steak comes from — you guessed it — the rear end of the animal. Rump tends to be tougher in texture than, say, an eye fillet. For these reasons, rump will rarely be a favourite of chefs at high-end restaurants, but it is a full-flavoured cut that tends to be quite large in size, so you get plenty of bang for your buck. Cut from the lower belly of the beast, onglet hangs from the diaphragm hence its alternative name.
Taken from the portion of the diaphragm muscle on the underside of the short plate, skirt is a thick-grained cut best suited to those who prioritise flavour over tenderness. Your average skirt cut is unlikely to take home any awards from steak lovers, but it has its charms. To minimise the toughness of this inexpensive steak while still making the most of its generous flavour, your best bet is to marinate it before grilling or pan-searing it as quickly as possible.
Cut from the well-exercised abdominal muscles of the steer, flank steak is loaded with connective tissue — so, like skirt, it is packed with flavour at the expense of tenderness.
