What type of steak is best for grilling and why?
Answers:
I prefer porterhouse....
Virtually every piece of beef contains muscle tissue. And knowing how much that muscle was used will determine a lot about your steak. The areas of the cow that don't get much exercise are naturally tender, like the rib and loin sections. Whereas the hardworking muscles like the shoulder, flank and leg aren't nearly as tender.
Selecting a tender and flavorful steak is a balancing act.
Before you go for that filet there's something you should know. A naturally tender steak, like the filet mignon, is also naturally less flavorful. If you crave a steak dripping with flavor then pick a cut that has generous marbling, like a juicy ribeye. Of course, a simple marinade can give you the best of both worlds. All it takes is the right ingredients to enhance the natural flavors and tenderize even the toughest cuts.
