How to pick the right steak Picking the right cut of meat for grilling is key to enjoying the steak, and being the hero of the party. If you are not completely familiar with how to pick meat, let this be your quick guide. 1. Use the right cut. For the best steaks, stick with rib eyes, New York Strip steaks, Filet, and top sirloin. 2. Grade makes a difference. Most grocery stores sell USDA select grade, one of the lower grades. Pick USDA Choice or Prime. Ask you butcher they can get it for you. 3. Look for 1/4 inch of fat around the steak. The fat will keep the steak moist while grilling. 4. Marbling is important. Marbling is the white fat that is in the steak itself. This will make the steak moist and flavorful. Pick a steak with a good amount. 5. Pick a steak that is between 3/4 inch and 1 inch. That will give you the opportunity to get good charring without over cooking the steak. 6. Grill for about 4 minutes per side, and then let rest for at least 5 minutes before eating to let the meat relax, and the juices to redistribute back into the steak. Enjoy!
