Grilling the BEST STEAK!

[Sparko]

I used to prefer Ribeye, but am really trying to avoid fat, and it just seems like there's an awful lot of waste if you're eating the steak, trying to cut around the fat. The fat is GREAT, of course, for the "marbling" effect of giving the steak a great flavor, but when you consider the cost per pound, THEN consider what you waste, it's a little pricey.

My NEXT favorite was Sirloin, but I can't seem to find a consistently tender sirloin -- sometimes it can be a bit tough, even marinated.

I think my NEW BSF* is NY Strip -- it seems to have less fat, and I have had better luck finding consistently tender cuts even at Kroger.

I will give it a try next time. I agree with you on the sirloin. sometimes you get a cut that melts in your mouth, other times it is like eating the sole of a shoe.


You mean you don't raise your own beef cattle, CP?

I like Sirloin. And here when ya live Reallly close to Nebraska......we buy local

Interesting -- I buy local, too, and I live in Texas. But sometimes, I just go to the 'back yard' to get a good steak.

Boring people may enjoy eating the exact same thing over and over and over but those of us with a bit more personality like to eat different things once in a while.

It works on crappy meat,

That's not allowed in Texas

and it makes prime cut meat taste even better

I'm with OBP on this --- REAL steak doesn't need any help.

All that foo-foo stuff is good for is to cover up the taste of poor-quality meat. Fresh, prime steak doesn't need any help.

marinate the steak for 24 hours in red wine, garlic mushrooms onion soy sauce woucestershire, salt pepper and some A1. Remove steak and grill to medium in charcoal or gas and seperately sautee the marinade in a pan. top on the steak.

I have a nice infrared gas grill, and a charcoal one. Then I also have a small portable gas grill if we just want to do a couple quick hot dogs or burgers.

But nothing beats grilling them over WOOD. We have access to a lot of mesquite, which gives a really nice wood grilled flavor.

Nobody will ever get to be your age.

And if that's the case why don't you just microwave them?

That's just goofy. Too goofy for this thread!

Nobody microwaves meat!

Except me when I make bacon for my girly........

Oh. Well, when you get to be my age, you are more interested in convenience.

I prefer my steaks to taste their best.

And your point?

I prefer my steaks to taste their best.

With all due respect to "Hank Hill," propane is for convenience not taste

I would agree with that. But at least with my infrared grill, I can smoke wood chips in it to give flavor.
